Portal Fortress

This has been coming up in the past few days as a few druids/casters have been showing up during my time online. Basically they fill the portal area with aoe spells or throw holds at there enemies and portal out.

Personally I don't think it's particularly fair that a mage gets to fortress himself in so much as particularly at low levels it makes them nearly immune to being killed as they portal. The portal is meant to be used at great risk to yourself and casters don't seem to have to suffer such risk.

I'd like to see the portal act like a forced rest with no healing. Basically removing all constant effects and aoe's which the mage cast. This would prevent a druid/mage from being able to walk through the portal with little to no fear of being killed. (Not to mention the fact that on small levels these huge aoe's tend to disrupt play)

People that do that are pansies. ~Thinks : I wonder how many times Mario did that..~

Exactly why it should be removed. Plus I mean how much lamer is it when you toss like 3-4 people into holds and do it?

I'd just tell them to leave, if they don't wanna play. If they refused, I'd force. Games about giving XP just as much as it is getting XP.

Only way to fix that is put a line in the script of all aoe spells to check every round if the caster is portaling out and if so, remove the aoe. Or on portal force rest and add damage back to what they had before. 2nd option being the safest & less-laggy to script probably.
