Just play tested it, I really like this location. Problem is my lower then seventy can't access it. I can understand level locking under mountain by please for the love of the player base do not level lock being able to travel to the yawning portal please allow it to be a social hub for all levels! This is a perfect location for Roleplaying. Please don't level lock it. This I am begging. Because I am sick of it. This should not be level locked period, and it should be a hub like the Moonstone Mask.

So for example if you hate roleplayers, you might as well be hating yourself because your doing it just by playing the game and its storyline content any time you do that your roleplaying the quests out your character is living those quests and doing those quests and if you do it for the story then you are roleplaying. Unless your the type to skip all dialog and just go for end game. Then you might be an exception and are just a end game person who focuses on game mechanics or pvp then the story aspect of the game and thats fine too and I don't hate people who are like that and they are perfectly fine with me. Sometimes one has to live through another persons shoes or see things through the middle from both perspects and I cna understand why some might dislike roleplayers some might think every one of them is erpers and that is just not true. Several of my friends don't even erp and no serious roleplayer would erp ever in publci those who do are typically those that troll roleplayers or don't know any better. Many goes to taverns for drink and food, to socialize and yes sometimes therei s flirting but that is also something that happens in real life too. There is also the ignore list for those who don't want to see it. So why block certain people from enjoying something they like to do just because you don't like it? What if you were someone who enjoyed pve and yet you are told its stupid and then people say the same thing about your pve, lets say for example if this was a pure roleplay game with little pve. And then a roleplayer said no, pvers are too toxic don't remove the pve cap for this area which would then be for example roleplay level 70, I think many would feel the same way about it, and would want more opportunities to pve. Now you see the boat the roleplaying community is in.
Yawning Portal isnt for beginners and designed for epic characters. you wouldnt survive Mephisto's gaze, lord of the devils. Run! go far away from this place!, come back later when you are 70 to face the challenges.
The Moonstone Mask is the most popular, but nothing is stopping any groups from going to the Driftwood Tavern, and the Tower of Alteration and Trade of Blades both contain a room that could work as a meeting/gathering place for some groups.
And if you want to get out of the Enclave, the Fallen Tower Tavern and the Broken Crown Inn are both places that lower level characters can easily get to for social gatherings, and there are more places that become available for characters as they level up such as Blood on the Vine in Barovia.
No one "needs" the Yawning Portal as a social gathering place.
But, anyone that wants access can get it, and if they have any higher-level friends that enjoy socializing with them then those players can help them out by running them through dungeons to get them to 70 before Mod16 hits.
But I also think that people will find the luster wearing off soon enough.
The Yawning Portal is not at all like the Moonstone Mask in anything but appearance.
They may both be areas that are dressed up like a tavern or inn, but the Moonstone Mask is built predominantly as a social area while the Yawning Portal is a mission hub.
Not to mention - are you really going to want to roleplay among all the chat of people trading, putting together groups and asking for quest help in the Yawning Portal?
