Subject: RE: Bards and Binding


But that's just it, I like having a dungeon with 10 people in it if I'm willing
to travel far from my bind point. I don't want "half of the people in
BlackBurrow" to be there. However I agree that it can be tedious to find someone
to bind during off hours. To fix that, we need to push for the idea that many
people have had which is to have NPC's that can bind you for a fee available at
temples (or where ever). This still keeps bind points in cities (giving the
reward for traveling) but also allows people that play at off hours to be able
to get bound without waiting hours for some kind soul to show up.
