I tend to avoid using any kind of fast travel when RPing in MMOs. It makes the world feel so incredibly small. It takes a lot of the adventure away. How can someone be possibly approached by bandits in the woods if they're teleporting everywhere? I favor more mundane routes of travel: boats, airships, chocobos etc.
It's just my personal preference. After playing Everquest 2 for years and watching open world RP literally disappear thanks to convenience features like teleporting around the world in the blink of an eye (and private homes and guild halls but that's a different story), the whole teleportation thing left a sour taste in my mouth.
