Now Implemented: Warp System for the Masses

I have implemented a Warp system so that the users of our main server can get around more rapidly without having to ask the Mods for teleportation commands. It is very simple to use. The commands are:

/warp WARP_NAME - Warps you to the selected warp point
/warplist - Lists all available warp points

Users are not currently allowed to set warps; this is on purpose. The point of the Warps is not to drive the rail lines into obsolescence, but rather to help cut down on travel times from place to place. I don't want to have a world where EVERYTHING has a Warp, because I feel that would negatively impact the game experience. You would never walk anywhere, you would just Warp from place to place all the time.

Currently, there are 4 available Warp points. I will be monitoring their use and expanding as I see fit. The warps currently available are:

Hogwarts - Takes you to the rail station at Hogwarts castle
Lair - Takes you to the main floor of the Lair on top of the mountain
Central - Takes you to the top of the Central rail station near the original spawn point
Port - Takes you to the Port

So, for example, if I want to Warp to the Lair, I would type:

/warp Lair

So, the way I see things working, you can Warp to the point that is closest to your destination, and then use rail lines to get the rest of the way. It's as easy as that. Enjoy!
