       Perhaps, but to me that just exposes a lot more of the internals off

Well, mapinfo gives already some hints, since it gives the whole map path...

True. So either we check for this kind of things, or tell the player 
'use at your own risk' :)

       Thus, it may still provide some means to accelerate where you want to

The only drawback I can see is that, if we ever add another gate, we'll 
need to update all teleportation houses with this new point. Not that a 
big deal maybe, but still...

       But the idea of moon gates or other things is probably a bit more

Would be fun to track ingame time/date, and not only time. Would be fun, 
imagine: this gate is only accessible from the 5th to the 10th of the 
month :)

The idea of guilds is nice too, but it's slightly more restraining.

But yes, being able to teleport at some places would be a great feature, 
however we implement it...
