Ever since Factions came out, the boat travel has been an annoying part of the game, and it's only escalated since then without a fix or rebuild, leading to Embark Beach (and it's failure as a PvE hub). Instead, why not (finally) take the time to make it better.
First off, instead of the current separation of the continents, why not add another zoom level to the world map, pulling back from the continent to show the world.
- Another way to do this, and possibly easier since there'd be no new artwork needed, would be to leave the current zoom level (or maybe expand it a bit), but allow us to scroll across the entire world.
- Either way, another great addition would the "smooth" zooming, where you can scroll to zoom in, just like in-game with your characters, to any level on the map.
If this isn't possible or time won't permit it, a MUCH simpler solution would be to make the port towns all 8-man towns. I'll have to think over the details, but there must be some way (besides another town) to block lowbies from taking 8 people into the Plains of Jarin from Kamadan (perhaps a "beat the game" requirement?). As for LA, it's not nearly as much of a game breaker since ToA is already right near there with 8-man availability, so I think that could be made an 8-man town easily.
