Just like in the physical world, games often involve traversing the game map with different methods. Among these, I’m a fan of what I call medium-speed travel: faster than walking, but not quite as instantaneous as fast travel.

  • extends your range to explore without losing all “weight” or consequence to travel decisions
  • different way of experiencing the game world
  • can feel like public transit, where you get to see other people traveling with you

examples:

  • airship in maplestory
  • zeppelin in wow
