well the new players dont' know the shortcuts, and even with them it takes me 10- 13 minutes to get to hydlaa.
You might say.... 10 - 13 minutes with shortcuts, see it's not that much you can handle it.
Those people have never heard of the Fall off the world bug, and they might not have experienced it yet.
I see it on a daily basis, basicically you run or you walk off the world and you end up in DR, by no fault of your own.
Then it takes you about 12 minutes to get to hydlaa, another 5 to get to where you were in the Arena, sewers, or anywhere else you were, and then you can work again till you fall off the world again.
As long as the Fall off the world bug exhists, oja's distance can't be helped, because you need that bug to go away, for people in oja to accept the run.
