Modes of Transportation

Taking a cue from Banyan's question in the Q & A...  "will we be able to walk faster?" (answer: yes), I would love to see some alternative (to my worn out little Glitch feet) modes of transportation introduced to the game.  Possibly we could have little bicycles, or electric cars, or perhaps a magic carpet :).

  • Being able to craft a bicycle for long distance travel would be pretty useful.

  • hmm ... levitation+alchemistry+engineering=magic carpet ?
    or it would take a special skill/task for the pet rock to knit it first ?

    I know some people are going to ask for brooms ... flying brooms, of course.

    and a clown car, or a go-kart
    (all/some using fuel cells, maybe ?)

  • What kind of person would want a flying broom? 

    Also, can we get Quidditch added to the Toy vendor?  (J/K on both, of course)

  • A blimp. A blimp would be the coolest thing in the world. So would a boat of any kind.

  • Looking forward to boats. Leading Pirate of Ur here. I have so much favor with the Giant of Water I practically tell the tides how to flow :P

  • +1 to the notion of a flying carpet. and maybe there could be a place or two you could go only if you had one? also a quest to get them might be fun

  • The problem would be that everyone would want one and everyone would be zipping around too fast for happenstance personal interactions to occur.   I drive past thousands of anonymous souls every day - I don't want that to happen in Glitch too.

  • WalruZ, Point well taken.. I'm just not sure that "everyone would be zipping around too fast for happenstance".  A magic carpet could be configured to move only at the speed/distance we employ an arrow key to use it.  Sometimes I have a reason to want to zip.. sometimes I don't.  If some will not stop to smell the roses because they're riding their magic carpet, maybe they don't do that now.  Anyway, I'd personally rather have a funny little claymationy car or a tricycle, a visual that appeals to me more personally.
