Game Mechanics: Plane of Hate Zone Out

[Halox]

I was going through old patch notes and came across this:

February 17, 2000

- A teleporter has been placed within the Plane of Hate in order to give non-casters a way out of the zone besides death, potion, or group teleport.


Is this something that we should have in this era? Is this something that was missed? This would be a nice addition if it's supposed to be there. Forgive me if this has already been brought up.

Sigh. It won't let me delete this post. An inital search did not find anything. After further research, it has already been brought up.

Crawling around I found another thread about this, with an answer (in a lost patch message, naturally):

February 17th, 3:00pm
---------------------

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.

I'll find a Wayback Machine source for this patch message and add it to the wiki Patch Notes.

That site also has some other older patch messages too but I think I put them all in the wiki's Patch Notes already. If anyone else wants to double check they're free to.
