In the world of Aincrad, Teleport Gates are the primary means of travel, as physically travelling from floor to floor via Labyrinth mazes is dangerous and time-consuming. The Teleport Gates are also present in New Aincrad and the Teleport Gate in New Aincrad's Town of Beginnings also connects to a gate in Yggdrasil City, allowing players to travel between the World Tree and New Aincrad.
