Door To Nek Castle Missing If You Have DoV?

[Bluescreen404]

<p>So... after installing DoV... I seem to have lost the front door of Nektropos Castle.  This, of course, puts quite a crimp in the ability to work on the Coldain Ring questline, among plenty of others.  Most people who have DoV I've talked to on AB have confirmed this, though I've had one person without the expansion claim to be able to see the door and zone.</p><p>Anyone else seeing this issue?  I've bugged and petitioned this one in game, but thought it might be handy to flag it here and see if others are running into it.</p>

<p>I've got this issue as well, visited Nek castle three times today, and no door on any of those trips. Logged out, did a full file scan, still no door.</p><p>/glares at the zone construction team</p>

<p>Interesting! Not quite sure what would make it go poof (we try not to randomly delete doors :) but we'll definitely take a look.</p>

<p>Locate the PAKS folder in your EQ2 directory and delete anything with Nektulos and Nektropos Castle in the filename and let it re-download and this seems to fix the problem.</p>

<p>Nek castle has been missing for days for me.  Deleting the temp files like the GM told me didn't work.  Deleting the pak's didn't work.  Neither computer (Win XP or Win 7) will show the entire castle.  Gaping hole where the door used to be.  And if I walk in, I can see ghostly shadows of the inside of the castle.</p>

<p>It is missing for me as well. I'm running 4 systems with 4 separate installs. The door is missing on all 4 installs. The only thing I can say that is consistent is that I updated all of them using the retail box DVDs. The frustrating part is that the castle has an update for the coldain ring quest series. It would be nice if you could put a high priority on this.</p>

<p>Maybe the door is an NPC, and it's missing like all of them in <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=495719" target="_blank">this thread</a>.</p><p>Who knows, Nektulos Castle is such old content who knows how they set up the zone in originally.</p>

<p>I am also having this same issue, I've deleted the pax reinstalled and still there is no door for me to click on.  I also installed the DvD version of the expansion.  Anyword on a good fix for this?</p>

<p>Checked in on this one today after the hotfix, and the door is still missing. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>I also noticed the griffon master at the Darklight Woods griffon post in Nek Forest vanished after I hailed him, much like Valten Darkcleanse does just outside the castle.  I haven't tried hailing other NPCs in this zone and seeing if they go invisible afterwards, but I would suspect that they might.</p><p>Incidentally, I also installed off the DVDs.</p>

<p>same problem here! door to nek castle the hole and runnyeye missing, and some NPC in old zones willl disapear when hailed</p>

<p>I finally solved the access problem.  I begged in channel for help.  Someone finally zoned me in.  It cost 10p.  So, which developer is going to reimburse me?</p>

<p>The patcher was just updated (4:35pm PST).  This issue should be fixed next time you run the patcher.</p>

<p>Door is still missing, also used a physical CD to update if that helps.  And also only knew it due to coldain ring <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" />  Ran the check all files, will try the above deleting the files though, so will update post after that if still borken.  Thanks.</p>

<p>Hello,</p><p>Do you have any files in your paks folder that start with, 'copy of....'?</p><p>Thanks!</p>

<p>has anyone ever found a solution to this problem ? i have not been able to fix this since DOV came out. i tried all the suggestions here and nothing has worked</p>

<p>i noticed this first happening when i was flying in nek forest and i accidently got stuck under the world trying to fly over a seemingly open path that had an invisible ceiling. Ever since then the door to nek castle, bells, portal to shard of hate, any wizard portals that I summon and COV portals get stuck under the world. I have tried deleting the packs and full patching to no avail. Not a huge deal as I hardly ever go there but it blows needing to have somebody call to me to zone me into SOH.</p>
