Logging in as someone else: DON'T. The system logs all connections to the server (even if they actually don't log in as a player) and anyone who tries to log in under someone else's GSID will be banned.
Do I really even need to stress this further? Don't do this, don't even attempt it, don't even think about it, or think about thinking about it. This isn't Nike where we "Just Do It", here it is
Avlis has a slightly different work-around in place. Has there been any confirmation that an Avlis/Ysgard (or vice versa) is viable?
I can't log in until this evening, but if nobody's tried it yet I'll try to run a few lowbie alts through (assuming there's no issue with doing that for the sake of people not getting stranded in domination limbo )
The validation systems have nothing to do with the portalling systems, so it shouldn't be affected. So long as you've filled in Avlis's form you should be fine to portal.
As silverdragonams said, if you have done Avlis' form for validation, portalling works fine between Ysgard and Avlis, I was able to test and confirm this last night.
I heard from various players that as long as you're registered on all of Ysgard/Hala, Avlis and Arkaz with the worlds' systems that portalling to and from any of those worlds works just fine.
As was pointed out, Avlis uses a different system, so make sure the GSID you're using to portal over is registered and you can actually play there. I think there's a time frame you had to be logged on Avlis before the MS went down that would allow you to log on there.... past that time frame, the system can't verify your account. For the time being, anyway.
Ysgard/Arkaz portal was tested before the announcement that portalling was functional You will however need to set your password the first time you portal.
