Wait, there's a direct portal now?

I take it that's to allow easier travel between the pairs of faction-aligned civilisations?
We've been joined by another old guild friend that hasn't played Ryzom before, and she rolled a Tryker - so we're facing a trek between Fairhaven and Pyr fairly soon

IIRC that's the longest/hardest of the bunch? Anyhow, still good fun if we can get a nice group together
