Interesting little Teleport/Economy idea

How about this -

Give an event host the option to charge people to TP straight into the event. Of course, you would have to disable AV-to-AV teleporting if this flag was set to keep people from cheating. This would be nice because it would make a lot of undesirable land (i.e. that far away from telehubs) very useful, and would provide a further (OPTIONAL) economic 'sink'. I should note that all money would go to LL, not the event host (we really don't need yet another lame thing for people to try and game). Also, it would be a luxury/convenience thing. You could always telehub in, and fly over to the event...but a direct teleport would cost around L$10-20.

Comments?

I like the idea, but it's been suggested before :-/

I do not attend events. I would be highly pissed off if they enforced disabling of av-to-av tp's for the rest of us for the benefit of event holders. There are surely other ways?

I'm still advocating Group Travel mode for friends who want to travel in a pack from location to location. :)

Beyond this, I have heard some conspiracy theories suggesting that sim crossing problems at high velocities are a way to prevent people from using flight scripts that'll get them to places far from TeleHubs quicker. I laugh a bit at this and find it preposterous, but on the serious side, I do contemplate what it WOULD be like if it worked more seamlessly.

I wonder what future means of macro-automation could be set up... hrmmm!

Kris, I was merely advocating disabling av-to-av TPs into the parcel upon which the event is being held :)

Oh. Well that's even less likely to work!

Ability to TP to A LANDMARK would be nice, too. I'm sick of landing at a hub to have to fly somewhere five or more sims away with eighteen thousand tons absolute crap rezzing in front of me.


/me wonders when an open-source metaverse will be available to host from his own machines....
