Exclamation Ak'Anon Guides Non-Working

(I can't find any previous posts about this.)

On live they would bring you to a location that you specified.

They don't work on P99 as far as I can tell.

Waiting on a better system to be created for these.

Noted, and on list to be created once functionality exists.

Understood. In the meantime, if I may suggest a simple solution - disable their response when hailed by players.

I have a friend who made a Gnome that ran into this. He then made a Wood Elf, tried the Kelethin lifts, and declared the game was half-working, and logged off. The lifts aren't an issue for most, but followed by his Gnome experience, I completely understand his impatience.

Two cents. Thank you.

If you make a Gnome you start right beside this "Guide" who is broken. I don't care who you are, it's not a great first impression on the server.

We have a way to make these cases work properly now.

As I get time, will be implementing them.

To save future research, what are the instances (and specifics if you have them), where npcs should follow pathing in a non-aggro environment based on player request?

Reviving because this bothers me so very much whenever I go into Ak'Anon.

The Ak'Anon guides were the only ones who would take you places on request in classic, as far as I can remember. Only the gnomes thought guides were necessary, I guess. Some time after Luclin (don't remember precisely when), EQ added the Find button.

They wouldn't respond to 'bank' (much to my frustration), but they did (and still do) respond to proper place names like Library Mechanamagica (+ or - a few typos). I'm assuming newbie gnomes would find the names of these places in their starting notes.

The sign on the bank says Vault and I remember the input of "vault" returning an escort to it.

Have you ever tried to find a specific vendor in the ak'anon labyrinth? LG-3, CG-2, NG-6, etc. for spells? clockwork potter (or whatever else) in that underwater maze? I've played mostly gnomes throughout my time on EQ and still get lost in ak'anon.
