about the unused whompahs, i think they're probably put there from an earlier time for use to zone to places that are currently still unavailable. places like the Plain of Salt perhaps? that's why i altered your suggestion to just a within-zone teleport. which is quite helpful for those who spend too much time heading between Harry's and Lush Op, or Clon**** grid-term to the south road(where the sabertooth zoo is). ICC to the SW Farm? Camelot to the big Omni dome. but thing is, make the teleport take a while. enough time to compare to flying there in a ql200 yalm + maxed runspeed yalm.
either that or fix lag issues in places like BS, Clon****. ^_^
