Nilbog posted the complete legit original time-line dating from 'Original' to 'Velious' somewhere on the forum

As I understand it, this server was made by taking the code that made PEQ and removing stuff and remaking a lot of stuff that was removed or changed in the years since the game went live. The thing is, a lot of stuff was left in because it would have taken years to remove everything to make it adhere to the whole "classic" EQ. That's why there are some non-classic quests that are still in game, and some stuff like tradeskill items or noobie class armor items (like halfing foot bones in Nektulos).

So, the Hole is in game. I dunno if it's populated, but it could be. I stopped playing in 2004, so I don't know if it was revamped or anything like that. But since the code is from PEQ and PEQ has the Hole, I'm guessing that the zone could be 100% functional, but since the zone-in located in Paineel is disabled you can't enter without a GM port or something like that.

Wrong in only 15 words. P99 is based on the AX database, not PEQ.

And the AX database isn't from a period after the Hole went live? THAT was the point I was making...

Well I did it - you don't zone into the hole, but you do get punched by pain and suffering for 32000 damage.

Do you at least fall all the way down?

Nope, I probably fell a distance equivalent to 1.5-2 times the height of the EC tunnel at the entrance, which was weird. Maybe the devs programmed an insta-kill once you hit a certain Z-vector.

According to the game, I actually died in paineel...

That sounds quite probable, especially if the game thinks you died in Paineel.
