Darkfall adding guild portals

Aventurine, makers of the free-for-all PvP fantasy MMORPG known as Darkfall, have just announced an update that will address clan bindstone issues. The patch, currently schedule to debut late this week, will feature a new system called Clan Teleportation Chambers.

"We are addressing the issue that players were not happy with clans using bindstone kicking for fast travel, and are tackling the concept of transportation while hoping to make an interesting added [strategic] tool to play with for sieges of any kind. This means that bindstone kicking will be completely removed from the game," said Laenih, an Aventurine Community Liason on the game's official forums.

When players activate a Chamber, they will be able to choose exit destinations on the world map. The Chambers will also be accessible to those not affiliated with the building clan (nor do Chamber users need to live in the clan's city or hamlet), but they will be assessed a fee. Chamber entrances and exits can also be destroyed by enemy players, which Aventurine expects will add a new wrinkle to the game's ongoing clan warfare.
