I disagree with the bit about not being possible in all practicality.
We've repeatedly discussed full coordinate systems which allow for such
movement nicely. Granted, most current muds do not support such systems,
but since when have we accepted the status quo? :)

I agree that the above solution is silly, at best, but if one HAD to do
it, a simple script should take care of it. cut'n'paste is pretty
mechanical. :)

all of the above solutions you proposed attempted to do this, force
movement to take a consistent amount of time for the distance traveled.
The solution we are leaning towards is what I believe you were trying to
say, that a 'single room' of plains, 100 km across, should take 10
mud-days to cross, essentially forcing the player to sit and watch as the
mud kills 10 mud days for them. We plan on using 'rooms' of much smaller
scale... approx 1km square, for our largest single 'room', but the
principle holds. we plan on scaling the time it takes to cross the
'room' based on the terrain and the size of the 'room'.

ayup. With our world layed out as it is, with cities of humans rather
isolated and somewhat distant from eachother, overland travel is a major
undertaking. We plan to scale the system and ballance it so that to
travel from one city to the next is a full evening's / afternoon's
entertainment. In order to keep the game interesting and quick, we do
have those teleporters, mentioned in earlier postings, but there's a
cost... :) And of course, players can become powerfull enough to
teleport themselves (well, mages at least), but we'd like to keep
starting players mostly confined to the city and it's surrounding wilds.

exactly. By imposing a realistic scale on the mud, it forces you to
rethink the local dangers. It's almost entirely unrealistic to have a
traditional tolkeinesque dragon perched a mere 10 minutes walk from every
town! I see imposing a realistic distance scale as forcing one to impose
a more realisitc danger scale. Aye, there can and should still be
dragons (or whatever big nasty you want), but they should not be very
frequently encountered. More run of the mill creatures, like orcs, or
goblins or what have you, should be what the characters deal with on a
more day to day basis.
Having said all that I think there is still a place for games with no
'realistic' sense of scale, where time flows more in the players head
than on the computer, but if that's the case you need to make sure that
time doesn't become an important thing (tm) in the game at all. Most
traditional muds do this pretty well. IMHO, you only run into real
conflicts when you don't realize that attemtpting to add a 'realistic'
scale to the mud will radically change the nature of the game.

ayup. which is exactly why we have the teleporters. you can take the
overland route, if necessary, or if you feel like it, but if yer in a
hurry, you can always pay the *cough* nominal fee *cough* and the mage
will plunk you wherever. :) Best of both worlds, IMO.

Overuse cheapens dramatic rescues. Limitin the frequency helps a lot, I
think.

for long distance travel, one man with one horse travels about as fast as
one man walking. according to my partner in crime, at least. if you
switch horses, and ride the horse a little harder, you can make
considerably better time tho. There are perks to one man and one horse
tho... you can put on bursts of speed, you can carry quite a bit more,
and you aren't as dead tired at the end of the day. :)
Now, if you want mounts other than 'real world horses,' well, that's up
to you. :)
