The fun of speculation. What magic allows the portal to disassemble you and your inventory at ingress and reassemble at egress? Is that magic blocked by a curse placed on certain objects and the curse is lifted by using a forge? Why are dragon eggs and dvergr extractors likewise cursed and nothing (yet) exists to lift it (except some magical mod of course)?

... except there is a way to "lift the curse"; just think of "world-hopping for ore dropping" as a game mechanic.
