Game Mechanics: Lets Talks About Velious Binding Rules

[Mezzmur]

It's worth noting that some specific servers on Live had unique bind locations and bind rules. FV server had more restricted bind locations. I was on Fennin Ro.

Example of VP Binding (Not Available on P99, Last I checked...a Kunark Dungeon. Blanket "Dungeon" statements don't apply)

Another option, if your faction was good with Kunark dragons and not going to change any time soon, would be to bind in Veeshan's Peak. Crazy? It has portals within to the Plane of Sky, Freeport, Swamp of No Hope, and the normal exit to Skyfire. A fairly decent number of options to get around. At one point, albeit far after the classic period, my faction was good so I just wandered the zone. I was also high level so maybe that's why, but I don't remember drawing aggro from the trash mobs. Certainly I wasn't KoS to the bosses. Because PoSky drops down to Freeport that reduces down to Freeport, SoNH, and Skyfire. But I still think its not bad for the Kunark era.

No you can not bind anywhere in regular zones either. Try binding yourself near Giant Fort in Bwoods, it used to be possible, but it aint anymore. Ninja nerfed it seems

It looks like binding got more restrictive as EQ went along in the timeline.

100% didn't read through entire thread and have no info to back up but I assure remembering binding at AoW kill spot(left side) as a wizard, porting to old world and manastoneing and gating back.

Was changed from anywhere in Kael to WL and GD zone lines in a November 2001 patch. It is implemented here early to avoid the exploit of binding in the arena area and not facing any xp death penalties (and bind rushing even though people just do it from the zone lines now).

Can also bind in City of Mist which is also flagged as a city, outdoor, dungeon.

He also talks about wandering the zone and being too high level/faction for the trash to aggro meaning it was likely post revamp.

Just tried to bind here on live and it doesn't allow it. Also tried Siren's Grotto (no), Western Wastes (Yes), Dragon Necopolis (No), Temple of Veeshan zone in (No)

Tested this one on live too and bound at the giant fort in BW and again inside the fort. Unless they changed it like the guy says, then changed it back.
