Talk:Dark Portal

From WoWWiki

I don't think it's a world event. The history page on Blizzard's site says Kazzak opened it. -Burnstuff

By what I can remember, the opening of the dark portal in the expansion was supposed to be a world event having quite a bit to do with warlocks and rituals, however later on one CM (forget who) said Blizz didn't want a world event to rely so heavily on one class so they scrapped it. This was on the old forums and before the alpha tests, probably when they were still internally messing with it. Lorewise now, Kazzak finds some artifact and re-opens the Dark Portal, so it will be open on launch. -Edman

If the Burning Crusade login screen shows the Dark Portal as it looks in Outland, which portal are we looking at in the current login screen? - UvulaBob

Disambiguation

This article has a lot of info that belongs under Stair of Destiny, which is the Dark Portal's counterpart in Outland. ----  Varghedin  talk / contribs 10:07, 23 January 2007 (EST)

Statues

What are the hooded statues on the edges of the dark portal? --IbbertTheGnome 02:48, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

I still say they hinted it was Ner'zhul in TFT, but Rise of the Horde retconned it into nobody. It says they are "cowled figures".^{RotH 339}--SWM2448 00:21, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Would it be worth mentioning in the sections on closest flight paths that mages can now portal to these places? -leelad
