Portals gone from Dalaran / Shattrath

[YersiniaPestis]

What's up with replacing portals with ... class trainers? >.<

I have not found alternative portals to all places in Stormwind, so I'm assuming they have just removed them...

[dranx]

On Beta? Or PTR?

[The Glitch]

Beta, I just logged in but servers restarting but a few guildies mentioned the portals have gone ><

[DownButStillOut]

eh wha?
I doubt its permanent because most players view those portals as a neccesity to WoW life.

[PlatedPriest]

well in that case look like my mage will be making a good deal of money come cata

[flan1337]

Pic plz? For we non betas?

[MildCore]

Awesome!!! No more 1 stop shop to go anywhere you want, back to ye old fashioned way.

Edit: and you won't feel penalized for making your Hearth anywhere but Dal =P

[Droes]

So no one will ever go to Shattrath or Dalaran again, hooray?

[Wilson!]

This makes me sad.

[Luzahn]

This makes me sad.

This makes me happy.

[Vook]

Portals are still there on PTR.

[Shuckless]

This is holy glory.

My mage will be useful again? TIME TO SERVER TRANSFER! My mage services will be back in business!

[Jimusmc]

so shatt/dal is now empty if it's supposed to be like that.

[Lunyaa]

Strange bug that removes portals and replaces them with class trainers.

[dranx]

likely a bug.

Doubt it.

Either way, there is some "good" out of this.

Portals are gone: More world travel, possibly more world PvP, more populated EK and Kalimdor
Portals stay: Dalaran will still the popular spot because of said portals, low level players can travel around much faster

I rather go with them being gone, just because it'd be an interesting experiment. But I seriously don't believe that Blizzard has the balls to take them away. It's a gusty move either way you put it. Someone's gonna be pissed.

[Struve]

Portals are still there on PTR.

The portals will probably be replaced just with the new azeroth, so not on PTR, just Cata.

[flan1337]

Well I did my math and looks like IF is going back to its old vanilla self!

[Precursor]

Maybe its to emphasis that outland and northrend are in a time laps after the actual cataclysm. We already know outland and northrend get attacked by random lose elemental rift which show the elemental plane and azeroth becoming much closer in contact and a little wild,but also thrall in nagrand after he leaves the horde as a warcheif. Ug mind fuck!

[Arganis]

Good change the portals are a mistake, they should also remove the one to the Dark Portal.
