If thats the room I think it is, you fall through the world whenver you pass a certain threashold. I remember someone a couple months ago managed to get through safely and got a discovery of a dropped item 18+ months after release it's so hard to get into. (At least I think that the room you've pictured)<div></div>

    There is actually a switch within that blob that you hit to get thru to the other side. Its on the wall. Neat zone though, I finally finished a book quest there the other day I had started when I first entered there way back when. Turned out it was a server discovery lol, and I got it near release.<div></div>

<DIV>eq2maps said there was a switch on the wall, couldn't find it tho, maybe i'll go down unmentored and take a look for it again....it's really hard to see anything in that mess...does the switch look like the ones next to the doors in the hall?</DIV>

<DIV>dont even need to hit the switch go as far as you can and AE it will hit the mobs and the name on the other side  back out of the mess and go at it </DIV>

[g0thiC_iCe_cReaM]

ah, ok that's prolly what popped on us lastnight then...someone must have gotten close enough to agro whatever mobs are hanging out...didn't notice a named, hell i didn't even notice the mobs till people started taking damage so i just went all out and aoed everything to death...maybe the named didn't come with the other mobs at the time...thanx for the info <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

That door leads to the Steam Engin Room.  If you zoom into 1st person mode and then walk in that silver stuff and then look to the right, you will eventually see a little handle on the wall.  Pull it to enter.  In that room there is a pit with a placeholder for a named in the middle.  Other than that, the room is pretty meaningless.<div></div>

Pulling the lever opens the door that abuts the insulator.  The only way I've been able to open it is to:a.) make myself tall (I'm a gnome, so barbarian illusion makes it a tad easier to click)b.) jam myself up against the right wall -- NOT directly on top of the leverc.) zoom slowly in and out of first person so that your camera "scrapes" the right wall -- if you get it right you can see the eenie meenie space between two layers of the insulator, and hopefully...d.) waggle the mouse back and forth over the lever until it lights up, possibly spamming the "f" keyNothing all that cool on the inside, as mentioned above.  A single heroic group of zombies, which have a chance to spawns as a named fire elemental thingy.And remember, dev posts are holy...<font size="4"><b><font size="5">I</font>T'S <font size="5">A</font>N <font size="5">I</font>NSULATOR.<font size="1">[gee thanks]</font></b></font><div></div>
