Pretty interesting bug I just stumbled across...
So there are four ground based ways to zone from SolA into SolB (A,B,C,D on EQ Atlas). There are also many lava based zone lines that tend to be uni-directional due to the lava dropping in height. These zone lines can only be found with a high fire resist and a lot of hp or using spells like levitate, etc.
There is one I remember taking way back on Live when I was exploring, and it brought me to a pretty scarey place. I never knew where that was, as I never got to fight in SolB on live, but now that I've seen the King/Priest/Champion Area, I know where I wound up that one day. The zone line I had taken left me on a lava river which lead to a nice lava-fall into the big lava lake behind the King/Priest/Champion spawns (6,7,8 on EQ Atlas).
Today I tried to follow that path again, since it is a pretty cool view, imho, but I ran into a bug. After zoning out of SolA, I wound up in SolB, but NOT over an enclosed river of lava. Instead I was SOMEWHERE in SolB, on land. I did not think to type "/loc" before a wandering greaker kobald turned the corner and I gated the heck out of there. The zone line I crossed was where the lava ends just east of room 11 on the EQ Atlas map of SolA. IIRC I SHOULD have wound up over a river of lava that dumped into the lake behind the King/Priest/Chapion spwans, but instead I was in a random tunnel. If someone else wants to test this and do a /loc to find out where it dumps you, that would be appreciated.
TL;DR At least one of the lava based connections from SolA into SolB does not dump you in the proper place in SolB, not by a long shot.
EDIT: I'm thinking it might just be a Z-axis zoning error, and it put me in the hallway above the lava river I should have been in. Just a guess though.
