if you are a halfling and go to DN, cross vilefangs pond and look into the wall on the right there is what looks to be the corner of some room that doesn't exist with some writing scribbled into it...


What is this?!

[Nibblewitz]

Look through the walls on the first floor of ToFS, or look through the walls in the maze of PoM. So many questions.

[bktroost]

what is that? That's like a clue!

Luclin to be found at the end of the trail?

Looks like...Western Wastes portal?

mind blown

what a strange thing to just be in the zone.

[Zaela]

The room is centered around the origin (0, 0, 0). A lot of cat boxes and other dev rooms with locs written on the walls are -- it's a natural place to start at if you're opening the zone up in a viewer or otherwise entering it in an unguided way.

EQEmu #zone command sends the dev/GM using it to the zone's safe spot by default, but early EQ devs might not have had that luxury, I guess.

[Zaela]

ToFS and PoM ones are at 0, 0, 0 as well.

Gives a little insight into what EQ devs called things, too... pretty much the same obvious things that players did.

You are the one, Neo.

I still wonder what the boxes you can rotate in Skyfire Mountains are about.

Seriously, why are those there.

Swish, stahp. Luclin= bad

Heh, he was sort of in the "Twilight Zone" at times. :p

Maybe it was a secret portal to his brown project - Vanguard...?

Pretty cool stuff, did some quick searching and found a thread containing more information about these cat rooms.

Apparently they have one in VP as well

Good find!! I want to find more about hidden things in EQ. I am sure there are some old threads on even these forums with discussions about it.

[Brut]

Least they're not horrifying cat face rooms.

Like so: http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=178005. There was another thread about how to get into the befallen cat room in-game (the only one directly connected to normally reachable areas of a zone, although it's on the other end of the zone-out except for a little space you can squeak by), but I couldn't find it in 30 seconds and gave up.

Extreme boredom dev room survey (time wasted: about 30 minutes):

plus frozenshadow, mischiefplane and necropolis as already seen.

Most other zones have 0, 0, 0 in player-reachable space, at least until about PoP/LDoN when they seem to have stopped worrying about it.
