IMO it’s a pretty big problem. Maybe the game population is dropping off, but I’m seeing a massive reduction in open portals at DK’s Ultima Tree - and I looked at Jacey’s and also Ultima Hub and these are all seeing portal closures. Same thing at major PS hubs etc. The small guys are getting pushed out by unavailable oort. I know Jaidic has also stepped up quite a few times to help little guys (and big guys) keep their portals open.

While I definitely support economy based regulation, at the same time, having portals is fun and people like them. Therefore, I think the devs should do something to make oort more available - increase it in hunt drops to encourage hunting, add new mobs to make hunting more fun, include it in chests, something. Sticking to the “rules” while people stop playing doesn’t make much sense. Give the people at least a little of what they want :slight_smile:

I don’t think it would be unreasonable to give people enough oort in daily chests and weekly chests so that if you play every day you can keep a 1x2 going to the local hub.

even though I can fuel all my portals by myself now, and I just opened like five more last week, I continue to consider just closing all but my little “guild hub” on an almost daily basis. I like the connectivity, and the convenience, but making sure I can attend two hunts at two hours each, every week isn’t something I will even be able to do once my work schedule goes back to normal sometime first half of next year.

an oort allowance really wouldn’t fix my issues at all, they are self induced and I’m not trying to make a solution that at all. But I can say I feel the pressure of keeping them open each week, it does drive gameplay, and sometimes I simply don’t want to do that gameplay but I have put myself in that spot.

I can sympathize with the person with little time to play keeping just a few portals open, that was me before my schedule changed, and will be again once it changes back. So unless I get the traffic to keep them open and fund me buying it I’ll end up closing them like I did a few months ago.
