Early classic EQ question

[gcobb]

Hi all, looking for some info from the community. As a hobby, I like to tinker with a personal offline server for playing on long flights, etc. My goal is basically to approximate vanilla eq with the addition of some era-appropriate custom content (e.g. reverting Splitpaw to its original lvl 6-25ish form).

In reconstructing classic lavastorm, I learned that certain zone lines were originally hard coded by verant into the client zone files. This is interesting to me in light of, for instance, the late addition to the game of the Temple of Solusek Ro. By default, the zoneline to solrotemple sems to go to Sol A, but I’m not sure whether this is what it did back in the day. Does anyone remember how this zoneline behaved in the days of rubicite? Did it port you to the evac point, zone you elsewhere, do nothing at all? Any info from the trained classicists would be much appreciated.

If nobody here can answer it, try the folks over at www.eqemulator.org ^^

The entrance to soltemple didn't exist before an optional patch in october 1999, iirc.
