Interesting. This is the first time I've ever heard of this so I would lean toward the "unintential feature" side of things. One would think that if that was supposed to be an official new way to travel from PI it would've been in a patch note somewhere.

Except, as near as I can tell, it is a teleport FROM Peregrine Island TO the other maps (you show up in the train station), but there is no way that I can use the same system to get BACK to Peregrine.
it uses the same interface as the long range teleport power.
it might be intentional or it could be something that forgot to take out when internally testing the Halloween event.
Seems more of a bug than a feature though.

So, Long Range Teleport does not have Peregrine as a destination?

In the last beta there was a door with this functionality in the Hollows.
I'm not sure why, but there you go. I may run off to check if it still does it or not.
EDIT: its still working in The Hollows

Seems to me like a great QA tool. Attaching Long Range TP's functionality to a clickable object makes it way faster to test out the feature across various characters with various powers, than it would be to create and level new characters or respec them all. There's probably a door like this in each of those zones, tucked out of the way somewhere that no-one looks twice. In all the kafuffle around Freedom, this one thing just got forgotten and left in.
I wouldn't expect it to survive the next patch though, now that it's been noticed
I dunno, I bugged the Hollows door in beta, along with 3 or 4 others, its survived this long.

Huh. Well there's a pretty big list of bugfixes for the new patch on beta, maybe it's already gone in that build. Other than that... *shrugs*. Don't use it too much or Marty might pop out? 
SG mate discovered the PI one a few days back and bugged it. Likely it is something the devs put in for testing and forgot to remove...

Reminds me of a door mentioned in the Enchanted Forest books. Was never used much as it was only for the Castle it was in, and at the top of a long windy staircase in a tower no-body really used.

Those doors were originally made from a recycled wardrobe...

Sounds like a "back door" type of deal for Devs to come and go. That being said, most likely it was left in unintentionally....
Doesn't mean I'm not going to go try it out right now!!

It obviously wasn't meant to be there. How could this at all be unexpected?

I can be found, outside of paragon city here.
Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
Put it back! lol or at least a VIP thing that would be nice.
Well I'm glad they are removing them because I don't want to go to the trouble to alter all my builds to use zone tp to have others get the same thing from just dumb luck.
Was still there earlier today

While trick-or-treating on Peregrine Island, our team discovered a door that acted as a zone teleport.
It's the one-story building near Ghost Falcon's usual hang out place. Clicking on the door brings up a menu with different zones, similar to the new fifth teleport power, Long Range Teleport.
I think I remember trick-or-treating at that door the year before, so this function of the door seems to have been added during the last twelve months.
Was this "zone-teleport door" officially announced in some patch notes where I missed it? Or is it a bug? Are we looking at the remains of a developers' test of the Long Range Teleport power, perhaps?
