 **The making of traps or one way trips is not allowed with any of your portals.**
+Because of this it is __**strongly recommended**__ that the portal at your end is outside, and on solid dirt, or a floor immediately above dirt.  Holes under the floor will become a trap if/when the floor resolves after the player arrives and an irritated Thane will demolish your building to release the player.
 If there are no available Portals you may approach a Thane to take over an abandoned player's portal.
 This is particularly important on the Main Server as some players go quiet in between releases but do return.
-The portal Hub also has access to the Boss locations
+Portals are taken on a //"first come, first served"// basis.  If you desire a particular portal to be closer to a team mate then swaps/exchanges require agreement from both parties.
+The portal Hub on  progression also has access to the Boss locations.  This is a Sub-Portal Hub on Main

+===== Going visiting =====
+Some players welcome visitors and delight to give full tours of their base.
+Some **DO NOT**
+On main there is a Sub Portal Hub of significant builds that welcome visitors
+If you do decide to go visiting other player bases uninvited always be polite.  Ask before you start poking around.  If they are offline, look but do not touch.
+We have had thieves use the network to rob people (instantly bannable offense)
+You do __**NOT**__ want to look like you are doing or planning this.
+In particular do not attempt to open warded doors or any boxes - it is tracked and you will lose any welcome instantly even if you take nothing.
+==== Using a players portal Network ====
+This is a touchy subject akin to giving tours.
+Some players regard their network as the result of their hard work exploring the world, usually with deaths, and as such a precious thing that should not be just exploited by anyone who wanders through.
+Others are only too happy to allow people to use their portals.
+The Ease of access to the portals is usually a good indicator here.  If they are easily accessible vs behind closed warded doors.
+If in doubt, ask.  If the player is not on, then send a private message and wait.
+Good manners will often get access where just rocking up will alienate players.
+Remember, if you have issues by using a players portals then you do not have the right to complain about it.  e.g. you fall through the floor at the destination and become trapped, or it lands in a troll cave without a floor and you plummet to your death.  This is particularly true if you used them uninvited
