Description:
Guild guide Ohmonir at the Mages Guild in Vivec seems to be for Mage Guild members only - is that intentional?
He is part of the travel network going from Vaardenfell to the mainland. All of the other guides I have seen that go to the mainland do not require guild membership. I realized this when I used the guide in Old Ebonheart to travel to Vivec and then was unable to return via Ohmonir, because I was not a Mage Guild member. So, other than becoming a member, my only option to return to OE was to travel to Ebonheart and get a boat, which was a bit of a hassle.

Yes, this is intentional.
Yes, this is intentional. Actually you found a different bug, because all guild hub teleports should be member only and it seems Old Ebonheart's wasn't.
Really? Hmm ... I could have
Really? Hmm ... I could have sworn the guild guides in Vaardenfell in the vanilla game weren't guild members only. But, I could be mistaken ...
Guild hubs are unique to
Guild hubs are unique to Tamriel Rebuilt, they link sets of up to five guild guides. In this case, Ohmonir lets you go from the Vvardenfell guilds to the guilds of the Mournhold district via Old Ebonheart, or the guilds of the Telvannis district via Firewatch. Transport within those sets is not rank restricted following how it works in vanilla.
Ok, I see. I wasn't aware of
Ok, I see. I wasn't aware of the distinction between the guild hubs and regular guild guides. However, if the hubs require mage guild membership, doesn't that make it more difficult for a player that isn't a MG member to travel to the mainland? Are there any guild guides that go from Vaardenfell to the mainland that don't require membership?
The point is indeed to make
The point is indeed to make it more difficult for non-members to use the system. In fact, the rank restriction was put in place after discussions about cross-provincial guild guides with the idea that they have a rank requirement, so it made sense for the guild hubs to have one too.
The Old Ebonheart Hub has
The Old Ebonheart Hub has been given the service restrictions he was lacking.
