The game

Player events

Every so often a portal opens beside somebody in the world. What is on the other side is different every time.

A portal opens

Keep your eyes open wherever people are about.

Now and then, on a map with players moving about, a portal opens a few steps from somebody. A banner goes up for everybody on the map and a line appears in the System chat, so you have a moment to come running.

Which event waits on the other side is rolled when the portal opens, and some are rarer than others. It might be something that came through and needs clearing out, a stranger with something to say, or a store room nobody has opened in a long time.

How it works

The short version.

  • Anybody nearby can go

    You do not need a party, and you do not need to be the player it opened beside. Stand close and step through.

  • It will not wait

    A portal stays open for a short while. If nobody goes through, it closes, and once whatever is inside is dealt with it lets nobody else in.

  • Everybody is paid in full

    Finish what is inside and every player who went through gets the whole reward. Nobody has to split it.

  • A way home

    When it is done a way home opens, and it puts you back exactly where you went in.
