Have you ever tried to follow someone, especially during lag or when you can't seem to fly to save your life. I'd like to see a Follow Me feature. Somone can request you to follow them, simillar to the way they can request you to TP to them. But instead your avatar walks,runs,flies along with the other Avatar. Would be handy for groups too.

There's a neat gadget you can get called "free ride". You toss it on the ground and it follows you and people can sit on it and ride it. Makes following a breeze.

But that requires eveyone to have the gadget, or the gadget having to me copy and transferrable. Whicvh if the author wants to make money, wont make it mod,copy,trans.

have you tried targeting friends yet on the big world map? while in proximity of them, they'll be targeted in the 'big red beam'; makes it easy to follow them (or play tag in the air:).

otherwise, yeah, only functionality as you describe it is available thru attachments (hehe - bondage collars w/leashes, for example;) - possibly some tamer scripts available out there). i would doubt that this functionality would ever be given 'client-level' status (and i would daresay, probably good - possible misuse/abuse potential?)

I've wanted a Group Teleport mode since 2004. Ask me about it. ^_^
