Either drastically improve realm loading speed or do something about moving stuff between realms

It is extremely tedious to transfer stuff back and forth between the realm you are exploring and the realm you are headquartered at.

The main issue is the excessive load times travelling between realms.

This is highly disruptive to realm exploration and makes it extremely tedious.

Yes, we already have quite a lot of inventory space with backpack, pepys box, and follower, but there is still a lot of stuff that gets picked up. Is it intended that we Extract most of it to keep moving?

As a workaround i have been building several simple containers at a designated cache site with a Lodestar, and then when I am done with a realm I do a back and forth to slowly move all the accumulated stuff. However it is still really tedious.

Here are some possible directions to alleviate this pain point:

• Expand the Pepys Box significantly but it has to be built near the starting location of the realm, i.e., the teleport pad you start at when you enter the realm.

• Cache the Respite Realm for much faster loading, similar to loading The Watch but even faster. This won't really help players who are using their Respite stone as a teleport marker and actually building their headquarters at the Crossroads.

• Isolate the player home Crossroads/Abeyance to a very small Realm so that can be cached and loaded quickly. Basically few to no resources here but open space to build an estate, plus one portal for the player to play the first story card taking them to a realm with Sasse et. al. The player is then intended to build their headquarters here but this solution won't really help players who insist on making their headquarters and main storage depot elsewhere.
