Adding DIRections to More Cities 03/10/2015 03:50 PM CDT
Last time this was asked (10/07/2014), the answer was, "DIR is still only for Crossing and Riverhaven. It is resource intensive to add new destinations and generate the paths between them, but adding additional cities isn't impossible. It's not in any current plans to do so, however."

With the emphasis on making DragonRealms more user-friendly, what is the likelihood that DIRections will be added to other cities? For everyone who doesn't use Genie, this would be a huge quality-of-life improvement.

Agreed, this would be a great thing to see in the major cities (looking at you Ratha!).

Disagree that this would be good or a useful way to spend precious dev time. Most people use travel scripts, and even googling a map and using that is generally faster than DIR-ing one's way somewhere. Just my 2 cents.

There is a travel script that follows the DIRection prompts. It's pretty fast; I used it a lot before I switched to Genie.
