    Suggestion:
    Introduce a new Mayor+ application: warp sign. I don't mean a warp to be used as a destination for tp users, there's already an app for that. I mean a warp sign in your town that everybody can right click and go to a certain warp point (specified in the app), just like the warp signs at spawn send you to the shops, tutorial, etc.

    Reasons:
    • I know there's the town portal app and even the town-to-town portal app, but what if I want to give the builders in my town a fast way to go to, say, my shop at stationXX? Now there is no way to do it.
    • If I want to provide a fast link from TownA to TownB, the start point in TownA can be only one place: the town-to-town portal. What if I want to let builders go from many points in TownA to the main place (warp destination) in TownB? I currently can't.
    • There's no risk of ambiguity as the destinations (what you get with a warp app) will still be no more than one for each town, but there's no reason to limit the starting points too. Tp users can already now go to a warp point from wherever they please.
    • It wouldn't disincentivize to buy the tp feature either, as you would be able to warp without tp feature only from very limited places (i.e. where the signs are).
    • If warp signs are introduced as a Mayor+ application, we would have an additional way to pump money out of the economy.

    Any Other Information:
    It could be added as a tp++ or extcreations+ feature instead, but an easy counter-argument would be that, if it was a feature, you would be able to set as many signs as you want without paying ingame money, so nobody would make portal apps anymore (and they must probably stay because they are a way to get money out of the economy). Instead, if warp signs are introduced as a Mayor+ application, we would have an additional sink of money!

    Link To This Plugin:
    I don't think an additional plugin would be needed, maybe only a change to GA's permissions would be (if I'm not wrong, only the owner can place those at the moment? idk)

    I believe nicit6 has already suggested this, but I'd love to see them added.

    Yeah, it's been suggested before, but the post was old and I didn't want to necropost, so I made a new thread

    perhaps you could put a maximum range on [warp] signs, so that portals would not be obsolete.. eg. warp signs could be used to travel anywhere within a towns boundaries but not outside it.. just an idea
