Btw, I was one of the people who saw people going into the door on that huge staircase. (hell, it's been a while, ic an't even remember the name of the friggn monument)
Anyways, when it opened, the opening was glowing white and the person vanished into it. When i started asking questions of the few people standing around up there, they just went thier own way.
So I'm still not sure if it's useless & was just admins muching about. Or if it is actually something that's in the game in the future, or maybe even right now. Who knows...
[edit] oh yeah and by the way, it was about 2-3 days into official gameplay. clearly not beta.
