Once the addictive qualities (levels and loot) are put back in, I think you'll see a lot more play. Until that happens city->city teleporting items (sold by NPCs) are a good alternative, but only if you can figure out how to flag them so that they vanish if you zone.
The main problem with #zone is that it's instant, requires nothing, and completely eliminates the danger involved in travel or combat. It would also make griefing a lot easier.
As is the server is in a testing phase. After a pwipe and some rules changes, #zone would kill the fun of the game.
Here's hoping it's all legit soon...
