I'm finding myself not wanting to even log on anymore because I do not feel like running 10+ minutes to turn something in or find a certain mob/NPC.

Other than the total lack of anything to do but grind out skills, the running is the worst.

Has there been any news of mounts coming soon?

No word on mounts yet.

But I heard they teleport you to dungeons for free in WoW. They are also kind enough to spit you right back out where you were before you ported in.

Heck, if you play your cards right, you never have to move a step from the spot you logged in! It's amazing!

IT does seem like you spend a big chunk of time running in this game.

Think the only big announcement they've made as far as updates in the near future is the renaming of market wards. I haven't seen anything regarding faster travel.

This is wearing quite thin on me too. Up until this week I had kept up with all 16 leves in the 36 hour period, but with the time I have available to play, the slow regeneration of anima, and the amount of time it takes to get anywhere on foot, I've since stopped trying to do them all. I think I'm going to end up focusing on fishing and alchemy and not worry about the other leves till we get some chocobos or something, because I'm tired of wasting an hour and 30 minutes of my night just running around.

We are indeed in the infancy stages of this game. I think we can expect it soon enough, though. And by that, I mean before Christmas.
In fact, I suspect there will be a huge "Christmas patch" that comes out around the holiday season that will add a great deal so many things, unsurmounted by any previous patches.

Heh, I haven't even left my starting city yet, cause I loath all the running it would entail.

Apparently I am as lazy in game, as I am in RL..

sad.

I know right isn't it amazing. You can queue for the battlegrounds too and just stand there and not move ever and just wait for the queue to come up. Then do your battle ground, it'll port you back out. Then you just queue again and wait!

Now, if only they could arrange it so there's no running in the INSTANCES, too....!

Remember that ToC dungeon? Yea they already went there.

[Zeb123]

Since I found the ports the running is now down to a minimum - you do know you can get ported from camp to camp??

Oh crap. I forgot that one.

Yeah that's nice, except it costs anima to do that, and well, you only get back enough anima per day to go to one camp that's not in a local area. Do quests in all three areas every reset and you'll find your anima drained.

get a party of more than 3 people and you would have enough for a return trip.

The Chocobos are extinct, the alternative is to start training Dodos.

I'm running to all the cities to check for the fisher leves to have the fabled Willow fishing rod. I didn't mind, because I would level botany along the way. After doing the BS rank 15 city missions I'm so sick of running. However, I love fishing enough to punish myself to keep running to all 3 cities every other day. :/

I'm ready for some chocobos.

[gattiman]

Chocobos and air ships are needed not only for travel but as gill sinks too. That being said if you are smart you don't have to run thatmuch. For example if you are at an atheryte camp and run back a return port is only 2 anima. I do this constantly for blood shore. Or kill yourself and it's free!

I like the sound of that.

running is fine
but running on lifeless and dull environment again and again is irritating me, especially in the forest, it's just a endless corridor
o..and the terrain as well, after 3 weeks of gameplay i am getting sick of it

Port to LL. I love the scenery there.
