Yet, there is absolutely no reason why avatars should be able to teleport anywhere and everywhere inside a virtual world, let alone fly around. Let them travel there by horse, train, ship, motorcycle or feet.
That way, everything related to communication will also make in game economic sense. There will actually be a reason to buy a car and load it up with gasoline.
