As of a few minutes ago, the famed "80-second-roundtime" road between Therenborough and Ker'Leor has undergone some fairly significant changes.
The highlights are thus:
* It is now possible to travel as a group.
* It is now possible to drag a person, living or dead.
* It is now possible to lead or ride a horse.
* It is now possible to turn around.
* The Roundtime is gone, yet the travel time remains.
Of course there are details to each of these points that I will leave you all to discover. The one I will share, to avoid needless confusion (and Assisting) is that you cannot lead both a horse and a group, nor can you lead a horse while following someone. This is an unfortunate limitation I wasn't able to gracefully bypass, but still, the fact that it's even an issue is a good thing, since yesterday you couldn't do either.
As usual, this is going into Prime to make sure it's not horribly, horribly broken. Once Prime players have proven how horribly, horribly broken it is, then it will be fixed and delivered to Plat and Fallen.

So Rambliin and his wife Martyre went up there to check this out... Looks to be working well, tried to sneak through (doesn't work anymore), tried to hunt through (doesn't work anymore). Even spent some time HALOing and Shockwaving critters east to try and follow them back, but they ricochet back to the hunting area which is hillarious. Players ricochet back as well, so can't HALO someone into the road. We were finishing up and I was going to go get my horse to try that out when a MARauder came in. I cast a huge spell at it, but hit MARtyre instead. So unintentionally I got to try out dragging a corpse through, worked great too. Lots of fun. Except that Martyre died again from one of my mis-casts.

Oh and sorry for the double post...
Riding on horseback at a gallop knocks about half the time off the trip. Now if we can just add using a horse to ride through the desert instead of taking the barge I think we'll finally have one really good reason to use horses...

Sounds like a good change. Do the 30 second trail from east shard to south of shard next?

is this been broken enough yet in prime to deliver to plat?

The flat, dusty road leading west from the barony stretches endlessly to the forests surrounding distant Ker'Leor. The wind which washes back from the face of the mountains collides with the air traveling from the east, forcing a chill to envelope this lackluster landscape despite a prevalent sun. Step after step reveals little change to the landscape, and it seems the western end of Theren's Road will never be reached. Still, you plod along...
[Roundtime: 83 seconds]
You've seen life through distorted eyes;You know you had to learn;The execution of your mind;You really had to turn;,the book is read,The end begins to show,The truth is out, the lies are old, But you don't want to know - Black Sabbath
