Game Mechanics: SolA/SolB Zone Line BUG

[Handull]

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.

This must be new, because I luckily stumbled upon the same zone line once when I was told that a Targin the Rock book was rotting @ royals. I threw on levitate and booked it through some lava in SolA only to wind up @ Royals upon zoning. Was pretty damn convenient.

Okay, I decided to investigate this again and here is what I found...

One lava zone from SolA to SolB right underneath you and to the right as you zone into SolA from Lavastorm. This lava river drops you to the South of the Royals spawn at loc -707, -445, -16

Another Zone line is near loc -360, -620, 16 in SolA and places me at -272, -509, 26.44 (with levi on) in SolB, NOT in a lava tube, although I was deep in a lava tube in SolA when I zoned. This is the zone line I believe should place me IN a lava tube/lava river that should exit at the north side of the royals lava lake. The loc in SolB that I am dumped to is just to the left of a SolA/SolB zone line marked as letter B on the EQ Atlas map. As I guessed, this is just above the river of lava I should have been placed in.

All other open ends of the lava tubes either link up to each other or are impassable.

Hopefully this is enough info to identify the problem. I would like to try going up the lava river to the north of the royals spawn, but I'd rather do it when those rooms are camped, so as not to gain crazy agro and die in the lava.

EDIT: I tried to go up the river to the north of the royals, but there is a lava-fall blocking the way from making it to the zone line.

PS If you are going to test this, buff up and don't forget to scribe gate!
