OK folks so this thread is super old and now that we have some official word on the topic from EME, I advise you to direct your thoughts there instead of here. Link below. :)

so it actually ports people to the instance? they dont even have to run to it? thats kinda [filtered] if thats the case. at the very least make it so they have to travel there somehow.

They'd have to make it server-only if they were going to take out the auto-porting feature which is why I think they should just not include in to start with. Would be a lot easier than trying to change the way it works.

Before people in this subforum go crazy, please remember that things found in KTERA aren't necessarily going to be found in NA TERA, or if they're in NA TERA, won't necessarily remain the same as they are in KTERA.

But it's basically the same as Wow - Cross server, automatic party matching, ports you to the instance.

There goes any sense of community on the server and any chance of a ninja's actions having consequences.

And the above is the type of kneejerk response that doesn't get anyone..anywhere.

I suggest asking EME to leave out the teleportation, at the least. Make it just form the group and then have you trek there yourself. Teleportation hampers world PvP and makes people just sit in Velika all day, despite the convenience.

As for cross-server... I dunno, I think I'd prefer allowing for cross-server grouping on lower level content, but making it server-specific for high level dungeons.

Yea that's why I'm posting, so we can make sure that EME doesn't put this feature in our version. I'd hate to find out in OB when we (presumably) finally get to see the new patch, that it's in and too late for us to change it at that point.

I agree, at least on PVP servers I don't want to see anything that makes it so people don't have to walk to their destination. The point is for people to have more reasons to leave town not less.
