A circle of stones
Not far from the city of Teron, this small clearing is home
/yyyy to the renowned portal stones, of which several scatter the
--*yy realms. Brave souls have been known to utilize the arcane power
ryyyy that is bound to the stones, travelling to far lands in the blink
of an eye. A path leads west through the fields, directly to the
city gate. It's clear, hot, and there is absolutely no wind.
Obvious exits: n e s w nw ne sw se portal
(Glowing) A mystical deep red portal flickers in the midst of the stones.
A set of rune-inscribed stones frame the center of the clearing here.
An Uxmaln pack mule appears in the room.

The access road
A field of lush green grass has grown up in this spot, marked
v/yyy here and there by thistles and heather. Occasionally one can spy
#-*?y a bird's nest hidden in the fields or a gopher hole. You are
rryyy walking along a tiny worn trail. It's clear, hot, and there is
absolutely no wind.

(Charmed) An Uxmaln pack mule is here mounted by you.

Since recall drained PE.

I think this change was in 2004-05, some time after the only 'nerf' change I ever remember being changed back to what it was before, which was recall costing XP.

Yep, the only difference between wor and recall is recall requires your pulse to slow down.

It's been like that for... years.

LOL

Vials contain the spell of word of recall, the way the spell works is that it takes you back to your native portal stones and takes a portion of your PE.

Been that way for years.

In the beginning, recalling/WoR took 1/2 of your current (remaining) PE.
There may have been a very small %age you needed to have available to do it, but it was in the realm of <2%. It was fairly easy to train up WoR back in the day, or to make numerous flights from combat using WoR.

When changes came to certain skills costing them a specific amount of PE (ex bash), the change was also made to recall/WoR to be a specific amount of movement instead of a certain %age. As others have indicated, this change has been around for awhile now.

I'm still against WoR being brewable...Makes it too easy to escape and having bash a necessity. If people went into enemy territory and didn't have an instant way to escape, I think things would be a lot more interesting...Just my 2 cents.
