Running is the main form of transport in Egypt. Other transport is available to ease this core. The cost of using these other forms of transport is travel time. Once you have a paid account, you will start to accumulate travel time, which is dependant on the time that you are off-line. This is one of the available off-line chores available under the Utilities menu.
Chariots
Each region has a chariot stop. There are fixed times when travel is free, other than that, you can choose to travel using chariots by using travel time. The free times between stops vary and it is unlikely that you will get more than 2 free "hops" together.
There is a main circuit which the chariots travel, and some other routes. This main circuit is
RSO -> Sinai -> ND -> VoK -> FP -> LN -> Karnak -> RSO. You may travel between Chariot Stops in any direction you choose. Regions not on this main circuit are PB, CoTS, DoS, UN.
The chariot routes can be found at Locations?.
Warping
During your first 24 hours in the game, you may choose to warp - this does not cost travel time. You click on yourself and select Starting Spots. Your options will be
- Join a friend - You can then type in the name of the player you wish to join. When you click on OK, you will warp to the location of the friend. Before you do this, you should chat the friend to arrange this. Not only is it impolite to jump up on someone, but your friend might be miles from anywhere, or afk.
- View some random starting spots. You will then be given a selection of guilds.
Expedition Sites & Waypoints
Expedition Site
Expedition sites are located on the edge of the city centres in each region. In order to use them, you select your home (probably The Retreat) and your expedition site. The first time you set these, you will be able to use them straight away. After this, you will have to wait 2 hours before they are usable.
Waypoints
You may place waypoints anywhere in Egypt, apart from close to a chariot stop. You can warp to your waypoints from anywhere in Egypt. This is realitvely cheap when you are close you your designated home location, but considerably more expensive if you are a long way away. The system will calculate the amount of time required for the jump and ask you if you wish to proceed.
Note - you are not allowed to use Chariots within 10 mins of using Expedition Sites and Waypoints. This applies even for free chariot travel.
