<p>Hello</p><p>Firstly, I'd like to mention that I played EQ2 during the middle of Echoes and Faydwers and The Sarnak Expansions releases. (cant remeber name of Sarnak one). And as I was looking on the EQ2 website, I noticed this in Qeynos on the screenshots under Locations tab. It appears to be the Globe Theatre. I never remeber seeing it while I played EQ2. I'd go ingame and have a snoop around but I'd be waiting a week or so. So, could anyone give me screenies of the inside of this building, or tell me what it is? Because I am quite confused having not seen this structure in game.</p><p>(the photo has been edited on paint to circle the building and add arrows)</p><p><img src="http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg101/NiaSithin/loc7_screen_qeynos.jpg" alt="" width="559" height="264" border="0" /></p><p>Bit of a noob question maybe..but im curious.....</p><p>Murora</p>

Isn't that the arena building in Qeynos Harbor? As far as I know you can't enter it at all. Leastways I never have. It does sort of resemble the globe now that you posted that pic of it though.

From what I recall..the wall was longer and the arena was further away from the harbourside. I'd know if I saw it before...

<span style="color: #00cc00;">Umm no that is a non-enterable building might have once been a subclass zone at one time. you circle around it once you cross the canal in Qeynos Harbor, the Arena is a lot bigger and closer to the castle.</span>

It's just a scenery building....just for show. And they added a stone wall with 2 archways between the harbor and that building since then, otherwise it's all still there as it is in the screenshot.

Hey that's a pretty good find. Both buildings look almost exactly identicle to each other. Maybe SoE was inspired to put in that building which serves no purpose by whatever this "Globe" place is (I've never heard of it before.)
