Teleporting into your Alakol house

As some of you seem to be discovering, you can no longer teleport directly into your homes in Alakol. There was a bug that let you set the TP point in your house, but this was repaired. You'll have to set it outside your front door from now on. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

  • I tried to work around not being able to teleport home 3 times throughout the day, once to my street , twice to an adjoining street , it took my tokens but did not move me.

  • I have my teleport spot set outside my door in Alakol... working fine.   Not using tokens.  Is that the issue?

  • I am curious as to why you don't want us to teleport into our homes?  When I lived in a tree.  I always teleported to the roof of the house below.  I hated that.  I often fell out of the tree trying to jump to my front door.  If not in my garden or house, it would have at least been easier for me to land on my own roof.  Not a problem in Alakol.

  • I assumed it was the follow issue... making sure you have to let folks in the front door. Just as an extra safe keeping.

  • I'm with Lord B on this one.  I have never set my TP destination to inside my house because of the 'follow'.  Whilst the follow has to be accepted, I think it is much safer to TP to your door rather than inside.

  • Not sure this actually HAS been fixed as I can TP into my house...with a TP script at any rate...

  • I've had a teleport point set inside my Alakol house since I bought it, and it works just fine.

  • As a follow up to my original post, you were able to teleport into your Alakol style homes when they were first released (via a bug). This was blocked, but it's been possible to teleport directly inside again for some time now. We are still deciding if this should be allowed, as it can potentially cause you security issues if you're being followed.

  • "it can potentially cause you security issues if you're being followed"

    Actually, since you have to approve the follow and can evade the follow, perhaps allow the TP into your home but enable the ability to boot someone if need be?

    Also, anyone inside your home can currently summon anyone else into your home, without your permission.  This seems like a greater security issue!  Should it be written up as a separate bug?

    No, that is no longer possible. If you summon someone to a place you do not own, the person summoned will end up outside the door of the home.

  • I assume if you tried to set a teleport point inside somebody else's house and then tried to use it later (after you'd left and they'd logged out), it would behave the same way?  I.e. put you outside the front door?
