O.k., firstly I have to admit I've not logged into Wizard101 since I started playing Pirate101. The game is addictive. But, although the idea of flying the skyways was indeed novel and kind of cool to begin with, it has now just become so monotonous and time-consuming that I want to pull my hair out. I don't mind flying around each of the skyways but the mind-numbing stretches between skyways is really a bit much. Could there not have been world gates to move between the skyways instead of the interminable flying? It has actually started turning me off from playing the game. I spend more time trying to get to the location of each quest than I actually spend doing the quests!!

Agreed. I often feel like I should just teleport to skull island and play minigames instead of questing in another world because it takes so so long to travel. I'm thinking that the world gate should be a very large room made completely out of the light of the spiral with mythical beats running around and doors that lead to worlds. Some walking required, but no tedious rides on your ship.

The whole point of being a pirate is to sail the Stormy AirWays. What good is a pirate without a ship and sailing? We are not Wizards.

Idea !

A quest that allows us to find and aquire a said interactive map on a table in our captains cabin we can port to said storm gates that we have access too.

Tab run to captains door zone in run to table interact with map on table that show's locales we have discoverd and can port to the said storm gate entrances. One should still have to enter for the first time the traveled path however, once it is found this would make for shorter and more efficient travel/questing .. just my idea !

My only real issue with this is the boring long pointless journey on the...spiralways? When we go through a stormgate, I like the idea of the spiralways as opposed to just immediately popping out of the stormgate in the new world...but the length of the trip is far too long, and there's nothing there to do other than sit on the windlane/starlane until you eventually get to the next gate (I know there are jellyfish etc, but there isn't even any point to fighting them - No quest, no badge that I'm aware of, no "special" or "unique" loot only aquirable there.).

Really dull, and I do anything I can to avoid spiralway trips.

I have to agree that travel while entertaining at first becomes dull quickly. Couple of suggestions.

1. Increase ship speed.
2. Take the Eve Online approach and automate the travel to a degree.
3. Have the Boost warp you to your destination. Makes it a ton more useful then its current mediocre spot.

Houses should have functional world gate portals already. My houses have a portal but it doesn't even take you back to where you ported to your house from.

Really? I've not found anything resembling a portal, unless one needs to get on one's ship and sail away from the house? Which houses do you have, and where are the portals about which you're talking?
