I recommend that housing teleporters be added to Taverns, at least in large cities, for a fee. It seems reasonable to me that a character who finds himself in Pranzis after an adventure should be able to walk into the Hotel Layonara, slap his money down on the bar, suck down a cool one in the shady bar and then teleport back to Hlint. Otherwise, there is a huge incentive for people to make many copies of house keys for their friends to allow them to use the housing teleporter in a house to which that person otherwise wouldn't want access to. I think for many people a prime motivation for buying a house is to gain access to a teleporter. (Since otherwise this person can look forward to a slow walk across Rilara) If this happens, I suspect more houses would be available for role play as opposed to just storage and teleportation.
In the same vein, a set of chests in the craft hall which resemble the airport temporary storage boxes, would be nice. Here is the scenario:
You have gathered your materials to finally make that widget you have been dreaming of for months. When you put all the materials on the craft hall bench, of course you discover you forgot one little thing, which of course you will have to trek across 3 continents to obtain. Under the current method you have to either trust all your hard earned components to your ox, if he is even there, or you try to jam it all in your bank vault, or you carry it back to your house if you are lucky enough to have one. Under my proposal you would carry everything over to the craft hall temp storage. Pick an empty chest, when you open it, the chest says something like "use of this chest costs 200 coin. any materials not removed within 72 hours will be lost. do you wish to continue?" You can then pay the coin, drop off the material, and go get your last component unencumbered.
