I usually bounce around either airship or the 12 when I'm on, although since they put ports to the hall of heroes in, I've been using that a lot. If I'm on arcane though, portable hole every time.

Marketplace or possibly harbor.  It SHOULD have been hall of heroes since it connects eberron and faerun, and I was actually looking forward to that being the new center.  But it's way too dull and has cumbersome design.

Korthos.

yup, before Airship it was Lower Necropolis.

Well it depended on where I parked the character actually, as it was back in old Europe.
Lower Necro was a good place, Meridia was second best and Phoenix Tavern ( for those in the Market Area ) Third.

After we got dumped in G-Land, The Guild Airship became the place to park.

I bind to the boat. I guess my centre would be the cargo hold. Lots of convenience there. Used to /death back for the ele buffs but anymore I just work them into my build but I still tend to gravitate there if I'm not doing anything or going afk.

Airship for me too, but I think Harbor is my second, or maybe crafting hall. I like to hear harbor chatter, still the occasional new player to remind me how I saw the game once, or crafting hall with machines/mail/auction/bank

Yeah, a great idea, but the decision to charge for transit to Eveningstar was another nail in the coffin. I don't know how many they sold, but I can't imagine it outweighed the lost sales from people who "never got into Eveningstar".

Because the Hall was someone's Pet Project.

Ambition. The Hall is where they hope to open to more worlds. Also, the classic micro-management by superiors who don't play, never played D&D, and think MMO is a hip-hop artist. And then, according to Flav, WotC keeps making it difficult to connect directly to FR.

Back to the topic: Bugs. DDO's center is its bugs.

Nope, name starts with a V.

Yes and no.

There's several issues :

- DDO is 3.5 ( well initially, nowadays it's debatable ), so the Official Support World is Eberron.
- The difficult bit of Faerun is the Sword Coast, especially everything around Neverwinter, Waterdeep, Baldur's Gate and so on.
   I suspect that the Stormhorns and Anauroch is the limit they can reach going west on Faerun. Everything west of that limit is
   for Neverwinter use.
- Lately we saw a concerted effort between WoTC, Turbine and Cryptic to release identically themed updates/books, so it's clear that
  WoTC/Hasbro is pulling the strings and making sure to separate clearly the two MMOs.

- Last and most important in my mind... Eberron is a world, Faerun is another world, Greyhawk is a third one... And while are all D&D support worlds,
  WoTC wants to keep them separate so that they can revive one or the other depending on what sells at a time.
  Right now it seems Faerun sells well, so they give us some Faerun books, but if sales start dropping, they will go back to Eberron, or one of the world they fully own [ don't
  expect Sigil, Ravenloft, Athas, Krynn or Mystara. As far as I can tell the IPs on those 5 are so muddled that it would take years and an army of lawyers to get it sorted to
  everybody's involved satisfaction, at best they might get the Ravenloft and Ravenloft II modules IPs sorted for MMO use, but definitely not the settings ] 

Funny thing about HoH. It was obviously designed for one side to be Eberron and the other to be Faerun. So that you could walk in one side go through the hallway that connects the two sides and go out the other door to travel between worlds. Apparently the FR license didn't allow for a direct 2 way connection like that though, so they had to implement the workaround where you log between worlds...and then they decided it needed a pricetag because Turbine.
