Just make station park and the town center the same thing. the “town center” is no more than a cross roads where station park gets all the love but they each get similar amounts of visitors due to town square being the teleport location where station park would work just as well in its pace.
You have correctly identified the reason why the town center and the town park became separate locations some months ago! The town square is the teleport and crossroads location, which means that travel spam is minimized in the park. There are folks who will linger at the crossroads, but usually the amount of travel messages means they’ll relocate to other places before long.
Station park routinely out-populates the town center, to note. As I look right now, it’s 13 to 2.
Station park was once connected to everything Town center and station park is connected now. It was the shared wish of many to create a puffer room to minimize travel spam:
- The East/West route was the fastest so people binged the park while exploring.
- The Hotel was a source for flooding travel messages as well
- Same deal with the train route
-> At it’s worst was station park once, before travel muting, a room where there could be pages of x goes to y messages until there was an actual message. Especially as people tend to spamwalk on crowded rooms.
