The portals command now has new, additional syntax for newbies. They can now portal directly to a specific location, rather than first going to the Portals room and having to deal with all of the confusing signs and exits.

For now, the Portals room will remain as a meeting place for the guides, and the ability for that room to heal afflictions will stay.

In the case of portaling to a guildhall, it will bring them to the first mob tutor it can find in your guildhall. If you'd like to move your tutor, or it's bringing them to the wrong tutor, please let me know and we can adjust it.

HELP PORTALS has the relevant information about the new syntax, as well as the list of locations that a newbie will have access to.

I'd strongly suggest that guild noviceheads, mentors, and guides play around with the new command so that you're familiar with it should any newbies have any questions/problems with it.
