more subway stations?

In line with my other idea to make the subway more exciting, perhaps we could add a new subway line going exclusively to some of the new regions. It could join up with the main line at some point. I know this wouldn't be that useful right now since we all have teleportation, but it'd be helpful after relaunch with new players coming in.

  • I think the problem is that the subway doesn't really serve a good purpose. New players don't know the geography of the world so it's hard to use the subway, and once they have teleportation they don't need to.

    The other problem is that subway is too ordinary for Glitch. Your other thread includes some interesting ideas for making it more quirky, which might help, but ultimately the subway needs to satisfy a need in a better way than anything else.

  • I have TP5 and plenty of tokens, and I ride the subway.   Teleporting takes energy, something that lower-level Glitches don't necessarily have that much of.   Back in the day I chose my house to be within a block of a subway station, and I still take the subway I am within the same region as a station.  What the subway needs is better service!

  • I would use the subway more if it had stations in or near places I want to go. 

    We could totally have a second loop that takes in some or all of the new regions. It doesn't matter if they are not actually next to each other on the Ur map :D
