just because people did not 'know' does not equal did not exist. Thats what we are trying to figure out, seemingly fruitlessly however.

Yes, I understand we're trying (dis)prove its existence. I was simply dropping the idea that it not being well known is not dispositive of the issue. Just because no one knew about it doesn't mean it wasn't there. That's all I'm saying; some of the comments seemed to be leading towards "it would have been better know if it existed."

nirgon started a thread asking about this on rerolled. one poster responded "it must not have existed, because if it did exist we would have seen it on ShowEQ"

which is a good point =/

LOL, looks like the there is a teleporter but not out of the zone : )
Just installed my orginal Kunark CD looking for something else and found this in a patch file on it.

There's one minor issue with Paineel that we neglected to mention in the patch message. At the entrance to the city, there is an elevator that must be activated with a key. The "keyhole" in this instance is a rock that is on the ground near the lift. A minor bug exists that does not allow people to click on the rock to activate the elevator. In order to activate the elevator, players will need to hold the key on their pointer, hover it over the rock, and press the "U" key. This will be fixed in a future patch.

In addition, the patch message made reference to a teleporter being placed within the Plane of Hate. The information provided concerning this teleporter was incorrect. The information should read as follows:

- A bug exists within the Plane of Hate that sometimes causes people to be transported to an inactive portion of the zone, from which there is no exit. A teleporter has been placed within this area to transport people who are trapped back to the entrance of Hate.

Wow, nice crom - what else is in that patch file? Is there more? host it up

Funnily enough I dug out my kunark disc this morning too but couldn't get it to install and was too lazy to do a win98/xp VM :P

Shit... Once I get home I may have to load up Kunark and Velious and Luclin for some of those hot patch files!

Nice, thanks. Wondered about this for a long time.

On that note, I was totally summoned to that inactive part. I had to lev-duck-dance to get through the block near inny's room. Portal shmortal!

Are you able to confirm that there is indeed a zone out in an odd spot? Or do you think it was reverted in later patches (I doubt it would have been undone)?
