Lavastorm Door in Nek Forest

[MadLordOfMilk]

I mean this door, at the very north end of Nek Forest: <img src="http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/6650/lavastormgate4ww.jpg"> I've asked tons of people in game, searched the forums, everything - nobody seems to know what's up with it. The only close thing was someone's guess that it was the originally-planned entrance for LS before it was "stealth added" with the entrance eventually being in EL. Now, what's weird is that the Keeper of Secrets always used to say "Unworthy You are, for what lies ahead.", but at some point, I'm not sure when, he seems to have started saying "Confront and purge the imminent danger for the old one in the desert.  Do not forget the three broken pieces.  That is all." Anyone have any idea what's up with this? <div></div>

<DIV>After DoF came out, the Ring of Fate quest was added.  The keeper hints at this quest, the 3 broken mediallions are obtained through the blades, truth and coin group instances.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As for the actual entrance...one can only speculate.  Perhaps it will be the location of an AP someday.  There are many doors that do not have a function in the game world, the one in Nek Forest is one of the more well known doors.</DIV>

<DIV>long before release, that door was planned to be the door to lava.  At some point they decided to move it to the far end of Enchanted Lands and that's where it stayed for 7-8 months of live.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>They'll use it for something eventually.  There are tons of unused doors in this game, just waiting for an AP.</DIV>

A NPC ( I'm afraid I forgot his name :smileysad: ) near the Commonlands zone in gives several scouting quests - for the last one, you have to scout this door.

<DIV>Forgive my noobness but what's an AP?</DIV>

Also, yeah, I figured it would probably be the "originally planned" LS door or something.. well, theoretically. As for the scouting quest, didn't know about that one =)</span><div></div>

Yup, i'd bet it'll end up used for an AP. Remember the door in that one cave near the skindancers? That's the enterance to splitpaw, and afaik it's always been there.

Aye when the game first came out that used to be a door to lava then then changed it all around, but never updated their map, go figure.   so that waypoint is just another thing thats been around since the start of the game thats never been fixed.<div></div>

<div></div> In EQ1 that's right where the zone for Lavastorm is, only the zone works in eq1 <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Yes it works out geographically in line with EQ1 - with Lavastorm there, Neriak itself would be far to the east there at the end of the zone.. of course it isnt since its lost.Fallen Gate access from Commonlands is NW outside Nektulos - west commonlands, but itis of course a side remote access to neriak which of course doesnt take you there either because once more the parthway becomes blocked. Fallen Gate was also not referenced in EQ1 but clearly it must have been there in some form via lore <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>
