People seem to be very opinionated about porting into the frontiers which is totally cool. I'm going to briefly give my take on it.
In short, I WOULD be totally ok with porting into the frontiers IF it could ONLY be done to keeps that are controlled by a specific realm AND not currently under siege. How you define under siege is up to you devs because I don't know enough about how the code works to know if hitting a guard, or a gate or whatever is sufficient but that's the basic premise.
Porting DIRECTLY into the frontier zone even with timers in my opinion is pretty lame. I say this because in the current state who cares about keeps, who cares about relics? How about no one. Additionally, I am and always have been a solo players. For me, porting into a "non safe zone" and instantly dying to an FG camping that spot is pretty lame. Now that you have a timer, it's even more lame. You might as well bring back the old portal ceremony for all I can see.
This is DAOC. The game is about realms, realm pride, keep taking and relics. Instant porting has made this Call of Dark Age. It's not the same game and while I applaud the effort to make the game more accessible, it needs some adjustments in my opinion to be more viable for everyone. Thanks.
