Almost very day, there is some issue with Gportal which prevents me from fully playing the game. Issues such as not being able to access the Overland Map, private server not starting, unable to enter the Deep Desert, and other issues are making me not want to play on a GPortal server. Their support just give you canned messages that really do not address the issues.
For instance, today I was unable to access the Deep Desert. After submitting a ticket, I was told that they refreshed the connection to the Battle Group's Deep desert and to restart my server. After listening to them, my server is stuck at starting and I am unable to log into it.
