Hey try to understand a bit more, not just blindly backbiting gameplay styles you don't like... This even isn't about that alts at all - it is about new players who come to the game for the first time, as someone already wrote.
Many times it has been said it would be nice if introductory materials were part of the game content and not everybody would have to read wiki first before playing, and this definitely should be the case with a fast-travel option which is not so unaffordable for newbies as cars...

Anyway I would be ok if trains stayed as they are, but there should be cheaper, slower and a bit dangerous alternative - town caravans.
Pay a small fee (10-20c) to travel with a caravan (1-2 RT encounters per travel which on 95% the caravan should survive)... The caravan travel network should cover all towns...

Badger:
Rather than attacking each other's strawmen, let's try and get this clusterfuck back on track:

Need to speak to one of two doctors to discover that trains are in the game is a bad design choice. As is having to travel to the extreme south or extreme north to speak to those doctors. I believe this negatively impacts the popularity and usefulness of trains.

This isn't a case of 'read the manual' - quests should be logical and reasonably discoverable within the game itself. Nor is it a case of wishing to give players something for nothing - a quest to get trains is absolutely fine. But not reading the wiki shouldn't deprive you of certain features, and that's currently the only way people can reasonably be expected to discover trains.

My solution is this:

Make the train stations visible on the map, and make the questgiver at each station. Send the player wherever the hell you like after that. Although if you didn't have to travel half the length of the worldmap, I'd take it as a kindness.

Gunduz:
I like the 'visible but unusable' idea. What about an NPC in each train town that would send you on a quest to get 'cleared' to ride the train or something. The doctor quests for the train could just be changed to regular quests, with the train obviously making things easier to do.

Lexx:
The only problem is, that there are no other npcs around telling the player about it. That's all.


But I am not going to change anything anyway, as I am not working on it anymore.
