I play on USEAST Ladder, and I was playing in act1 nm last night, when another person joined and offered me help. Usually I do not accept party invites, but I did this time. The person was a lvl 55 Necro in Act 5 Town. Now this is the weird part. In act ONE town, there was a town portal open, and its title said Bloody Foothills....in act one...hmmm. He wanted me to take the portal saying he would rush me, which obviously I did not take the tp. I am at work now, and I have a screenshot on my home pc which I will post when I get home. Has this happened to anyone else? How can an act 5 tp be in act 1? Boggles me...just a word of caution I guess.

I don't see how this is possible, even with packets. The way I understand it, you can send the packets to open and take a TP, but that's it. The rest (where the TP shows up in town, distance from you, etc.) is server-side.
Speculation: Perhaps he told the server (using a packet sender) that his TP should be in Act I, and it just linked to where he currently was? But that still dosen't explain how the TP looked like it was cast from a Portal Shrine (no player name). If this is not the case, then I'd speculate on it being a bug or a hoax of some kind.
