West Karanas warp not implemented

[bubur]

Youtube video linked of a guy performing the Karanas 'easter egg' warp on early p99 blue. I don't know if it was classic because I wasn't in the know at the time, but I would guess it was.

Seems not implemented on green.

Also note the comment about a warp in butcherblock. Not sure about that one.

IS there any evidence at all that this is classic and not just a bug from blue?

In classic we called them free teleports. They are classic bugs, technically exploits. Don't expect to see any exploits no matter how classic, recreated on green.

LOL that's my fraps'd video from Classic Blue. But yes, I believe the WK warp existed Classic EQ Live.

I don't know anything about Dagnor's/BB warp.

was wondering how these were viewed back in the day. my view is if they were unintended errors that were bannable for using even in classic, yeah I'd say forget em

but why are they there? are they easter eggs? or intended otherwise? the fact that they appeared to produce a text message leads me to think they were errors and not in anyway attached to lore in some weird eq way...

still i wouldnt call someone who uses these an 'exploiter' in the same way I would a guy pulling mobs to bugged pathing or abusing an infinite plat glitch or something else egregious

[DMN]

They were considered "actionable" exploits, like getting enemies stuck in a pathing spot and nuking them. Never heard of anyone getting punished for them though.

Related... this forum post has a reference to a different Freeport-to-Qeynos warp?

man what an epic read that thread is. thx man. i had gone thru it once before but thought it was lost to time

well anyway i guess this one can be moved to resolved since it has probably already been decided yay or nay internally

This one is definitely classic, I used it all the time since I was bound in Arena for a while. It was glorious.

I remember back in 2009 when the server was up I was in Mumble TeamSpeak like program with Rogean and I was talking about it with a few friends he'd listen to it and said I'm taking that out and therefore it was gone, ha

Oddities like this were clearly not intended, moving to resolved.
