I remember this post from a while back, which earned Bornakk a lot of guff.
I am not a fan of removing portals in older content. To me, it’s like the web design motto of, “a user shouldn’t have to click more than three times to get where they are going.” Just put portal rooms in all major cities, and even create a new celestial location, with a collection of all portals from everywhere. I mean, how do you even portal to Exodar, Thunder Bluff, Silithus, Nazjatar, unless you are in very specific locations?
