Just a small suggestion of adding some portal npc's and/or hasteners to some more places. If you are against adding them for specific reasons, that's fine. I'm talking more for people who start somewhere and without any real benefit want to just use em to shorten a run somewhere
portals:
starting towns - it's somewhat random where classes start - i only know mid so i'll only list mid: some in mularn, some haggerfel near mularn, some vasudheim, some atla, ... Only 2 starter towns - aegir & mularn- have a portal npc. The others range from a short run/horse to a longer horse run. It would help making groups if people can easily port to wherever the others are. I know bindstones help with this, but again maybe some people don't have theirs bound to a place yet or forgot it or used it
known pve towns - this might be more intentional, not wanting to put a portal everwhere because you want the horse system kept in place. Personally I don't see any added value in keeping horses, doesnt really make sense to put portals in some places, and not others. There are a few major "gaps" in zones to port too, i think gotar to west skona is the biggest one. Adding one in galplen or gna faste would close that gap
Hasteners:
Probably more controversial as you can claim "if you want speed, invite a class with speed" - but it's equally annoying that some zones with portals have hasteners, while some don't. Let's say I want to run to vanern swap or varulvhamm, instead of porting to west skona, i have to port to aegir or a border keep, get speed, and port to west skona. I'm not saying put hasteners all around, but it would be nice to have them wherever a portal npc is
