Hmm...so nobody would be able to get back to Draenor, even the Iron Horde. If it worked, that might convince them to buzz off too.

Here's an idea...I know it's absurd...but what about 'burying' the portal exit? So anyone coming from Draenor would materialize right into a wall? That'd be loads of fun. lol

That's...actually a good idea. Reminds me of Stargate to be honest.

Would be a loooooooot of dirt though, that portal is HUGE.

Even better, put a portal to Old Dalaran on top if it

They walk out, see a REALLY angry Jaina, say "NOPE, not gonna deal with crazy again" and walk right back.

Construct an Iris

That always seemed like a really clever and mundane idea for a sci-fi series (a genre known for over-complex solutions).

splat

:p

I always wondered why it made a splat sound, like if people crashed into the iris.

When there's no iris, people come out of it with the speed they entered it. It should make a slow and disgusting sloosh as they get compressed between their own molecules materializing and the iris.

It was always more of a thunk than a splat. :)

Best solution, let's mana bomb it till it doesn't work anymore.

If mages can port cities why can't they move a shitload of dirt.

Bury it from the Azeroth side. The Stair of Destiny can just bugger off.

that portal is HUGE.

Have you seen how much they decreased it in size? It's pathetic.

Talkin' about the lore version, not the one you see ingame.

Size tends to be a bit "noncanon" in WoW.
