nice idea but theres too many old unsupported spaces now, that will have a too low ceiling, even outside the block is not that far above you. flying is only required on far bigger map like second life or DCUO.

Well, we have seen that it is possible, with the dragonfly in the Avalon space. Granted we are still fixed to a certain area but flying through windows of the towers and under the castle is pretty unique. Although I find the Avalon space to be too cartoonish for my taste. However I would love to be able to fly the plane or helicopter in on dream yacht. Even if they made it a game like the red bull plane races which I don’t believe are around now but, I was fascinated with them. Even the Jet setter game although aggravating at times is still flying. But like I mentioned earlier it would be amazing to fly around your yacht perhaps give tours to friends, and land at your dream island.

Yes, the animating wearable object function they introduced got me thinking of jet packs. Would be awesome to be able to fly in public spaces like in DC universe online.

I think flying would be very cool. If we did this though we would still be confined to the space we were in, be it public of private, unlike other PC places like Second Life where they use it as a way to travel from space to space. The idea is cool though, and I will be very interested to see where the developers take this new ability to change our actual avatars movements. Hopefully new dances and emotes for sure, as these are requests we have been asking for forever.
Nice read as always Godz.

Yeap, flyin’ is fun alright! In Avalon they switch your avatar to a dragonfly thingy; they could do the same in public spaces too. Instead of just allowing us to take off where and whenever, to reduce graphical-giveaways and problematic glitches, a flying post where we could take off and land from would control the areas and frequencies we could utilize the ability.

I’m all for this, and foresee the sale of jet-boots, packs, wings etc coming soon. Nice food for thought Godz, as always.
