It hardly impacted the porting business. You could travel from one of 5 destinations to the Nexus and then from the Nexus to one of those same 5 locations. The ports functioned on a 15 minute recast, so if you were traveling from A to B you needed to wait 0-15 minutes (7.5 average) and another 15 minutes in the Nexus to send you into your final destination. Many times you could damn near run there in that time span.
To that point, the Spires/Nexus up to and shortly after Luclin's release had a sweet live GM event surrounding them.
