The M.A.R.T. System

You’ve probably seen their rather impressive kiosks. Maybe you’ve even clicked on one.  The M.A.R.T. System (Merchant Accessible Rapid Transit System) is a system that links portazones together on a common web page for ease of transport between them.  Started as a way of making merchant owned portazones more accessible to potential customers, it’s recently expanded and now lists other pazzes of interest. Each of the pazzes that are part of the system has the familiar M.A.R.T. System kiosk located in the paz.  The recently opened Wonderland Mall is now part of the M.A.R.T. System and can be accessed through the system.  There are over 30 other sites that can be reached by using the system. 

According to M.A.R.T. System creator, aztec3, “bedicus created a market village for us in the oasis...links to the merchant auctions actually, so I took the two parts and created a third…a link to merchant pazs as well as their online auctions and websites. One plus one equals three in this case. Since there is no central district for merchant and designers, the mart system allows the formation of an ad hoc network of pazs. Users don't have to use a teleport link, they can just access the web page and teleport thru it's links...and as members come and go and pazs are added (and hopefully not deleted) the system grows step by step...but, there is still a need for a presence in high traffic areas since lots of folks are not aware of the system unless they come.” 

Those that have the bedicus compass can also gain access to the M.A.R.T. System Gateway site by opening up the compass, clicking on extras, turning the listener on and typing in /mart.  You can also find the M.A.R.T merchants on another web site here.
