What about paying for a single- or multi-use teleporter, which you could drop the 2 ends of in whichever places you'd like? For instance, I might want one end to be in my house, and the other in the store that's really far away (and I've already forgotten where it is, but I might be able to find it again if I tried hard). Perhaps it would work for 1 or 3 or 6 teleports between the locations, and then vaporize. It would be worth it to me to be able to set a pair of coordinates and be able to move between them a certain number of times, for a price.
(And my thought is that the purchaser of said teleporter pair would be the only one who could use it (and probably it should only be visible for that individual), it wouldn't be a public-use teleporter...)
Or you could buy ruby slippers that would take you home.
Clearly, we are going to need more occupations, such as engineers that can build teleporters and cobblers that can make magic shoes (and maybe weavers that can make magic carpets).
It IS hard for most of us to remember what's where, so it would be good to have a way to annotate the map or something... maybe with mouseovers or zooms.
i'd like public use teleporters that we could purchase and set up. they should be really, really expensive - out of the reach of most individuals - but work indefinitely.
maybe they'd require fuel and/or maintenance every so often.
for the individual or group that owns the teleporter, transport could be free, while others could pay a set fee to use it.
in this way, a group could network an area with free-ish teleporters to create a city state, province or nation.
