The arguement that 'they haven't yet' is circular.  Simply because GMs
have not used this idea thus far does not mean that it shouldn't be done,
isn't being planned, or isn't worth doing.

As for the other sides not knowing that there's even an other world there
let alone one central location is perhaps the only thing that has saved
the nexus to this point.

When you consider that ALL of the portals when 200 mets of Rougtero got
usurpbt into one, that's how many real life years of GMs creating protals
to go to other realems?
