ps *can camp*
It would be cool if someone with the skill pathfinding actually could blaze a
trail if they and others followed the same routeoften. A path would, once
established, allow others who walk the same route who don't have pathfinding
to save some ep's(not a lot, it's still not a road). A path may or may not
show up on the world map(probably not) but could possibly show up in the room
desc(exits are nw,n,ne,e There is a path going to the se). To keep it in
check, maybe only count two trips per person w/skill per boot.
I don't know how many trips it would take to make a path, but for the sake of
keeping it from being taken advantage of, i imagine a lot.
The path would also act as a magnet for ambushes(makes sense) from mobs, since
it's an area of higher activity and they're more likely to feed. Maybe a new
mob like bandit could be made for such a thing.

many people walk across the outerworld and where...would be awesome if there
were some way to have people's passage cause a long-term affect on the map
such that paths will eventually appear, and perhaps even turn into roads
someday. I think they turned off that tracking code due to lag though...

Batmud has had several hardware upgrades since then so I think it might be
able to handle it. I do think though it might not be a bad idea to sift
through old players and do a purge of the ones not being used as I can imagine
its taking up quite a lot of space.

this game does run quite slow as it is, slower than it... "should" but that's
simply because this game is over a decade of game code from dozens of coders,
on a game driver that is ancient and really won't be rewritten, so some things
are unavoidable, inherent problems/shortcomings, lots of patches/fixes, etc.

need road decaying code as well, and it's a bit hard to predict. Noone
prohibits you from walking whole day from your house to your favourite rape
area for 3 days in a row just to get a road there.
I, for one, considered the idea cool, but I still haven't come up with a way
of controlling it properly without fucking the map up
