<p>OK I too my level 11 DE from Neriak to Freeport. Well I thought I would get the tradeskill quest for Freeport ( wrong again that is [Removed for Content]), but then I found I COULD NOT TRAVEL BACK TO EAST FREEPORT. There was not BELL option for East Freeport when I clicked on the Travel Inside bell.</p><p>Is this intentional or just another example of breaking what was working?</p>

I know this was the case with my Fae trying to get into East Freeport while in exile at least.

Oh.. and btw, for a Kelethin citizen, they don't have a bell destination of Qeynos Harbor either.. in case you think it's just a conspiracy against evil characters.

Freeport and the towns around freeport (Big Bend, Longshadow Alley, etc), is that E. Freeport is actually part of the city itself, whereas the surrounding towns are just kind of the slums around it...not quite as crucial to protect as the city which houses all the different Guilds and the Overlord (or queen in qeynos). Now you still can get into the actual city without the bells, but it is much, much more difficult than just porting directly there.  Honestly, that is the only reason I could see for them making it this way.  I think it is kind of a pain in the butt, but ultimately isn't a big deal.
