What Holo would do if they were all like me

Railroads still have a monopoly.....

The key word is were. Referring to the original intent not the result.

I am sure if Holo, or the past guild of the same type or the yet to come version, were forced to split they would form little monopolies as you mentioned the railroads resulted in.

The key in what I would do if they were all like me is that it would be voluntary for the purpose of having more real pvp on this pvp server.

I do think that would be a great time for all. But they are not all like me. Someone recommended I try guild wars 2, looks pretty neat. Might try it if I get bored here.

Surely this person is not your friend and is trying to troll you.

Because people like you never have and never will have an influence on my actions.

Relax wasn't even referring to you.

Ok my bad. In retrospect didn't seem like your style. I was just having fun and jumped to conclusions.

O really? Currently is split regionally with a "you stay in your area, I'll stay in mine" mentality that will always be backed by the gov't. NS controls the NE, UP the PAC NW to Chicago, BNSF So Cal to Chicago. CN is your only real Canadian option w some UP. Yea you have guys like CSX but they are paying NS and BNSF to run on their lines majority of the time anyway.

Huh interesting... Is the cost of shipping on each line regulated or do they each charge their own rate?

Oh damn really? Or maybe your trolling its sometimes really hard for me to tell. But I tend to believe you because I was just checking it out some more and it seems kinda like WoW on steroids and just a money making machine geared towards a wider market rather than a true world Pvp experience.

Although I must say I really enjoyed WoW during beta and early days on thunderlord before battlegrounds came out. I wasn't to crazy about the Pvp limitations of teams, no talking to the other side and protected zones but it seemed like a half decent way to stop "griefing"

I still wish someone would release a game line UO which I never knew existed until it was over.

The majority of freight that is moved across north America is done via rail. Alot of people think the railroads are some relic of the past for transportation. Those people are very wrong.

Railroads are the second largest mode of transportation of freight in North America. Trucking is still the largest.

"Trucks carry three-fifths of U.S.-NAFTA freight and are the most heavily utilized mode for moving goods to and from both U.S.-NAFTA partners. Trucks carried 59.2 percent of U.S.-NAFTA freight in July 2014, accounting for $30.5 billion of exports and $29.3 billion of imports.

Rail remained the second largest mode, moving 14.8 percent of all U.S.-NAFTA freight, followed by vessel at 9.1 percent, pipeline at 8.5 percent, and air at 3.4 percent. The surface transportation modes of truck, rail and pipeline carried 82.4 percent of the total U.S.-NAFTA freight flows (Table 2)."

THIS HAS NOW BECOME A LOGISTICS THREAD

[Zalaerian]

Domestic freight possibly. Add in steamship containers, no way.

[Zalaerian]

Also until just recently, only like a handful of Mexico carriers could meet DOT regulations, making inbound Mexican freight a pain in the ass due to the needed cross boarding. Most companies didnt want to put up w that BS and just railed into the US.
