Earliest cached pages mention this about evacs. Circa Sept. 18th 2000 on the spells page.

Evacuate North
The Evacuation series of spells works exactly like the Portal series, in that they will transport your entire group to the specified location. However, there is a greater chance of leaving a group member behind in the cast. The upside of these spells is that they cast much faster than the portal spells (once you've cast a portal, you'll realize quickly why you don't want to try it in an emergency). This one transports to North Karana.

Evac: Ro
Evacuation series spell to Ro desert. It will drop your party to the combine ruins within the desert of South Ro. Many use this for personal travel to get closer to Guk and the surrounding area.

Still working on information pertaining to casting the spell in the same zone. I played a wizard back then and can't remember any instance other than abscond or non zone specific evac that took you to a zone line and not spires.
