Broken on Gaheris. To be more specific it was planned to be added and then the idea was abandoned.

I suppose removing the option to port was too much to endure for the brave programmers whose idea died, so it was left like a small monument to the awesome job EA has done with the game.

Long ago when the dev(s) had some ambition to add actual content to Gaheris there was a decision to make a BG where open PvP would be allowed. Then the storm broke in all its fury and the dam broke, the cavalry rode to the rescue but were a little too late, the volcano erupted and shot lava over everything in sight, the price of food stuffs skyrocketed, and there was nothing for the Scarlet Pumpernickel to do but blow his brains out.

So in other words they put the port in but they never followed through on their idea.

To quote myself from this thread

Daamien posted:
It would have been a character copy from Mordred to Gaheris with the addition of battlegrounds: Molvik for PvP and Cathal Valley for new PvE. As you all know, half of that arrangement was introduced with the addition of Cathal Valley. They even set up the porting options to Molvik as well at border keeps but did not finished adding the zone before there was downsizing and reshuffling at Mythic.



Some people were opposed to this arrangement, but it was a compromise where every party involved would gain something and still be optional. I conceived the idea and worked hard with developers and Marrian (the former PvE TL/Knight) to draft the plan that was very publicly announced on the Herald.

It's a shame that it has been two years and Molvik has not been implemented as planned. I doubt it will ever happen but at least Gaheris gained Cathal Valley from the arrangement. Mythic has a bare-bones staff and is focusing on its Ywain population.
