It would be really handy if the bank were moved into "downtown" Ascension. I'd guess it would slightly help lag too, with fewer characters zoning to/from the docks area just to access the bank.

I believe it's stationed there to shorten the way for bank characters (who are walking from the boat) but possibly a transition strait to the bank from the Wyrm would be useful...

Another possibility might be for a second 'teller' NPC to be placed in a new or existing downtown building (not the Wyrm). This would be just for money transactions, which I expect make up the vast majority of bank transactions; item transactions would continue to be done at the existing bank location.

is it really that difficult to just walk there? saying that the bank causes lag means that the wyrm causes lag, and the item shop....maybe we should ask funky to remove all transitions and put everything in one big single map, to remove lag....

This would be just for money transactions, which I expect make up the vast majority of bank transactions; Most people go to the bank to do item banking - money isn't too important on the module after you get your first immortal.

To give the original poster some credit: all of the zoning that happens in and out of docks to town proper may be something to look at because it is the #1 transition point in Ascension next to Boat Ride to Dock (you see this transition every time you connect to the server), transition into and out of Wyrm, and East Road
Maybe the bank and the Wyrm can join forces as the one great financial resource of HG, but then again most likely not as the Union paid and protected guards of the bank would scream about the unfriendly self managed style of the Wyrm.
IE you can port to Wyrm but not to bank because of said bank thuggery.

Sounds like a lot of work for very little gain.
