Though when i think about it. If PS were life, not a game, and you died, you wouldnt spawn in the same spot as everyone else, more then likely the portal would either lead to the outside world, near a portal which leads back to DR, or you would spawn randomly in the wilds.
The way i think of it, is going through DR would be like a dream, you make your way through, and when you get out, you wake up in an open field.
