Ways to travel up & down?

This! And portal spawners to launch you to your floor with speed best part is you don't get stuck in portals all the time xD
Just create a simple button and wireless Redstone contraption to select your floor and maybe a tripwire that activates when you jump prolly best to have a delay between jumping and portal spawning but that's the fun part xD
Holland says hi!
Few unmentioned options:
- Water lift, just make sure no blocks touch the stream or it will be really slow.
- Mystcraft portals controlled with CC to insert/extract books.
- IC2 Teleporter, even though it uses a bunch of power it's quite powerful.
- Repower 2 elevator.
-The thing from TC3 i think, that consumes an enderpearl when teleporting.
- Xeno's reliquary Wraith node.
- Acrane levitator with trap doors.

Use arcane levitators but in a stepped fashion like this:-
F:-floor
G:- gap
L:- Levitator
FFFFGGLFFFF
FFFFLGGFFFF
FFFFFGLFFFF
The levitators will only lift you till you hit the roof of the bext floor above and the middle gap will let you fall all the way down. Simply move left and right to catch the next levitator for the next floor. Or a ladder

This is the single thing I miss from BTW. It was so easy to make elevators. Now, FC makes sure to completely break any compatibility and it's in serious competition with Terrafirma for being the most hardcore mod ever.
Actually once you have the infrastructure Railcraft radically increases the yield on recipes. You spend WAY less iron.
FC is FlowerChild. He didn't like the way Eloraam and others were starting to take Forge, so he took Better Than Wolves and broke from Forge.
If you want to go old school vinilla and have access to a stedy supply of enderpearls heres a simple two diretional system.
Each floor needs a 4x4x2 area to build this.
B=BLOCK
A=Air
So now that you have that. Put laders inside the 2x2x2 hole and them put string across the top of it.
standing on the floor below toss your pearl up. and BAM you should be standing on the top of the laders of the next floor.
Its fairly simple once you get the hang of it and unlike the old stacked boat elevtors this will work on servers.

For me, the worst is creosote oil!I always use it for extra power, so, I'm always out of it...
You could probably build a system using CC computers, arcane levitators, pistons (or the new TC drawbridge), and wireless redstone. I'm not too good with lua so I'm not sure how hard it would be to code, but basically you would tell the computer to, say, go to floor 40 (as an example) and it would turn on the amount of levitators required to get to that floor and then block it off using the piston. You would need to set it so it can register whether you're going up or down as well.
Or, if you don't mind doing it, there's this http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1597758-152-elevator-mod-modloader-forge-support/

Mojang broke the traditional piston based zipper elevators back in 1.3 by making them far more buggy and temperamental. Basically they only work in SSP and if your standing perfectly in the middle of the elevator and even then they are highly prone to error.
A better option is the pig lift where you suspend saddled pigs in a column and click on them while looking up so that you move from one to another rapidly.
Basically it is in this pattern.
saddled pig
water
sign
air
saddled pig
water
sign
air
etc
With this method you can travel up at insane speeds that are even faster then creative flight.

I wonder if this was because it ended up running too fast, at one stair/piston per tick? If we slowed it down with computer control a bit, it still might work. Just an idea to play with.
MFR rednet with a PRC might just do the trick.
I don't use any of the above solutions. I have a portal spawner on my top-most ceiling, and one I can fall into in my basement, as well as an empty shaft between them with sticky pistons on every floor. I have computers on every floor that are all capable of activating wireless redstone receivers next to the pistons, and I can just hop into the portal and it stops me on the floor I want.
