So I've been considering changing the OOC area again, and have finally decided to switch to Shatterspear. We've made a full circle!
Some may ask why bother if we want to encourage folks out of the OOC area and into the world for RP. I personally think that it may be more beneficial to have a more pleasant ambiance when OOC (since folks are going to be there regardless of where it is if they just want to idle). While I'm not studying psychology or anything, I believe it's probably better in a subconscious way as well.
Another comment some may recall is that it was switched from Shatterspear in preparation for Cataclysm - well, whenever we may end up switching to Cata, we'll have to respawn an OOC area anyway. That, and I was just itching for a change of scenery.
Anyway, the new OOC area is Shatterspear again! Almost everything in the OOCC has been phased out, and a portal has been placed in the center of the zone to Shatterspear. Note that you can set your new bind point to Shatterspear by visiting Eyonix again!
As another note, port destinations to all the goblin cities have been added to the Portal to avoid having to respawn the transpolyporters (as well as a port to the Argent Tournament). You can also find ports to Area 52 and K2 on there as well (thank you, HolyNexus, for suggesting that)!
Lastly... prepare for ToT v3 Soon™.
