This is more or less what I was getting at. Striking the "teleportation" thing out just creates more story possibilities.Â
But, other people are giving reasons that I can still treat teleportation as a non-option if I see that as appropriate for my character, so that's going to be good enough for me. "Adventurers can teleport all day because they are adventurers" still seems distasteful to me but I can just not bother with it. I just wanted to find a way around "I should teleport" being the obvious solution to every possible plot element involving my character's location being inconvenient.
Having to get from point A to point B is a big part of adventure RP to me. Trivializing travel with "we can teleport whenever we want" just ruins a lot of it, even though it's in the official lore. It's tempting to try and mitigate story elements that we think are limiting our own stories. So in that sense wanting to remove teleportation from my RP is just an attempt for me to improve my story rather than me wanting to trample on other people's interpretation of the lore.
Sure, I live in a world where people use "glamours" to completely change their race, and it takes less time to teleport to another city than it does to walk down the street. When this starts making my story less interesting I start wondering whether there are ways I can exclude these lore elements. If I can't teleport, and if it hardly comes up when others can, that's good enough. Making it a non-option is the important part though, because I want it at least be a bit of a big deal if I'm in Wineport and need to get to Mor Dhona.
To give another example of this, I think being able to use linkshells pretty much as cell phones is sort of lame. It's in the lore, but I still avoid using it just because it doesn't suit the setting to me.
