Teleportation tokens?

I was just perusing the freshly minted subscription section and under the Molybdenum level subscription there lists as a special (or it does for me, an alpha tester) of 50 free teleportation tokens. 

My question: Teleporting is going to cost you once the game comes out of beta? Any reason that teleporting couldn't be a high-level skill offshoot of the Meditation skills (like levitation is)?

Now I just wish I wouldn't have spent $25 less than a week ago on credits! *shakes fist*

  • As I understand it, Teleportation Tokens will either allow you to teleport whenever you desire, OR they will allow you to teleport to specific locations within the game world without having to use your current teleporation bind spot.

  • @Bashere: Ah...that makes a lot more sense! So instead of "set as destination" in the map, there will also be an option to spend a token? Sweetness. :)

  • Yep that's how I understand it also.

  • Yep, you got it.

    You won't ever have to pay to teleport — in fact, we will soon be adding levels II and III of the Teleportation skill, so you can save more specific points.

    What we'll be adding is the ability to teleport to any arbitrary location in the game at any time, via the location pages, the map (and maybe some other means). You will also be able to do this for free, but it will take some amount of real world time to get there. During that time, you'll be able to chat, but not do other stuff in the game.

    Or, you can spend a token to make that teleport instant as well. The number of times you can do this per day will be limited (and there will be a "cooldown" period after each use) so people with a lot of credits to spend won't have an unlimited advantage in getting around.

  • I want to spend a token to turn on the High Jumper Stays On bug. I finally experienced it this weekend, and MAN. It was awesome. Best bug evar.

  • Will we still be able to follow each other around while teleporting?

  • I wonder how long the "real time" waiting is, because if there's a party going on, or something super-secret-awesome a friend wants to show, 5+ minutes could be quite the mood killer. :/

  • Could you please explain further? Is one token used per one teleport, or per limited number of teleports per day? Thank you!

  • Sorry to derail, but what is the high jumper bug exactly? I've heard a couple people mention it and was wondering what happens and such.

  • Dengo Pimpernel: it is one token for one teleport. And the total number of times one can teleport (regardless of token use or skills) is limited as well.

  • @Tyler - I got the High Jumper Bug when I first got my preciousssss , the SB1 Music Block, thought I had stumbled upon some secret awesomeness that was associated with the preciousssss  when I activated a spinach and was able to high jump around the worlds for hours, but alas, they "fixed" it and made me redo the race quest that I kinda cheated on, hey they challenged me .... , at any rate it can be just a little hard to control at times in neverending high jump and since I couldn't figure out how to turn it off I wasn't too horribly upset that it stopped. None the less I'm all for choosing to enter that mode via a High Jump Token that gives you basically a High Jump buff that wears off like any other buff.

  • Divine~ - Sounds like an adventure. They should make it into its own quest.
