New Content - Implemented Shadow Rifts no longer accessible to accounts without the closed-circuit pay phone

I put this down as New Content as it's a KoL change but feel free to change it to a bug if that is more applicable.

May 14 - The shadow rifts have faded into the... darker shadows?

This account is in AoSOL aftercore as a Cheese Wizard. Not sure if that's intended behaviour in KoL or if they're still accessible during an AoSOL run or not. I can still see them on my main account which has a closed-circuit pay phone in regular aftercore so access appears to be tied to ownership of the IotM now.

I have no recollection of where I read this or why I believe it but I definitely recall an announcement that the Shadow Rifts would disappear at some point unless a character had the phone. This sounds like the point is now.

It makes sense as the challenge path with which it connected has been replace by a new one.

The announcement was in the description of the closed-circuit pay phone.
