I seem to recall a few levels you could only Evac there, and so you had the choice of dying in the bowels of whatever horrible Kunark dungeon you were in at the time or Evac the group to Skyfire to die in the middle of an outdoor zone to level 50-something drakes and wurms.I hated fucking druid rings. Everyone was so much more accustomed to getting druid ports that they didn't know where the fuck they were at most of the wizard spires. I loved porting people to Skyfire as a wiz though and letting them get assfucked by close pathing high level drakes.
Christ life as a wizard was awful. All in return for Ice Comet... lol.
