Solicfire

The following changes have been hotfixed on live servers (click the ‘More’ link for full notes!):

Porting Changes

• The Portal Ceremony on the PvE side of Castle Sauvage, Svasud Faste, and Druim Ligen has been removed.
• The Portal Ceremony in the Frontiers will now teleport players to their Realm’s Portal Keep every 10 seconds.
• The Portal Ceremony timer is now increased by 60s for every keep lost by the home realm. This means if a home realm loses the center keep and both coastal keeps, the ceremony will be 3:10 minutes.
• A Realm must own their center island keep (Caer Boldiam, Glenlock Faste, and Dun nGed) in order to port to any captured keeps in enemy Realms.
