Question Title:	Has summon portal been nerfed?
Category:	Magic
Question:	I used to be able to move junior characters around with a portal summoned by my main, who would summon & log, the junior would come in and portal. I can no longer do this... The portal never lasts long enough to be more than glimpsed by the junior character. A friend confirms he is having the same problem. Question: Is this the intentional effect of a change by Turbine? Or something else?

Answer:	No change has been made to Summon Portal. It sounds to me like what you're seeing is the spell economy lowering the duration of the portal. All I can say is try casting higher level Summons (which last longer), or go to Charwic and *shakefist* at all the people begging for a p0r+41 2 +3+h.
