==Diablo 3 Town Portals==
There are no town portals in Diablo III. The [[D3 Team]] felt they were an exploitive game mechanism that made it too easy to escape from danger.<ref> {{cite web | url title = [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/jay-wilson-interview-gamespot-au/ | title = Jay Wilson Interview: Gamespot AU ] | accessdate = 2010-09-13 | quote = Town Portals were a combat exploit.}}</ref>
::Town Portals are gone. We found them to be a crippling combat exploit. We found that while they had some cooperative uses, they tended to split players up a lot. As soon as players wanted to go back to town they did, and then they had to figure out how to get back to their party. We don’t want players to ever be split up.
::'''''Gamona.de: '''There are no town portals in Diablo 3. What’s the alternative for easy travel?''
::'''Jay Wilson: '''We’ve put in several things to offset the lack of Town Portals. The most obvious are more frequent Waypoints. These give players more opportunities to return to go back to town. We’ve also added salvaging to let players break items down into small parts that stack up in your inventory. We’ve also added a Scroll of Wealth that allows you to sell items right on location.
