Bump for more research regarding Port Pad on Noble Isle (1.5->2).

Zam seems to indicate an earlier date for port pad placement:

Noble Dojorn Island - On this island are Noble Dojorn and 2 Bladestorms. The bladestorms will assist dojorn, none are aggro. The bladestorms if pulled off
the island will move to isle 4 and stay there (via someone aggroing them then jumping off the island). Dojorn will always return home. Kill Dojorn and loot. You must have the key of the misplaced from isle one to leave this island. Behind Dojorn's windmill is a port to Azarack island, use Key of the misplaced to activate. Note: Killing Dojorn spawns the Overseer of Air on island 5.

However linking off those pages to Cassie's PoA Guide (May have been posted and never updated, what it seems even skimming through the 2002 archives)

All say the same thing:

Using the Key of Swords on the correct teleporter will take you to Island 2, also called Noble Island or Windmill Island. ...

There are no teleports on Noble Island.

Describes Noble Island first with no mention of a portal pad to Azaracks.

First mention of a portal pad to Azaracks, in Lord Hong's guides.

The single teleport pad on the island will take you with key of the misplaced to Azarack Island. Respawn on the Presence is 2 hours, Dojorn is 7 days.

Additional statements as of October 2001, that the port pad was in place.

Noble Dojorn Island: Has 2 bladestorms and Noble Dojorn. Bladestorms are not mezzable (if I remember right) and are actually kinda buff. Dojorn is tougher than Naggy/Vox. He doesn't DT tho. Killing him gets you quest stuff, and spawns the Overseer of Air on island 4. There's a teleporter pad here leading to Azerack Island. Dojorn is somewhat optional, but I don't think you can "finish" air without killing him. Of course, no one has as yet "finished" air, so.... (this being optional is why this island isn't numbered)

People are often confused on how you get off this isle. It has a teleport dish to Azarack isle only. On my raids we do Dojorn isle after Faeries but before Azaracks.
