Quick Question about Flags (1 Viewer)

[swag]

I'm not flagged for zones like Vex Thall and if I use Piggyzone to force myself into Vex Thal I am able to stay in the zone without being booted. Why is this?

As far as I understand it .... you can get yourself into zone's without keys or flags... but if you are in a zone that requires a FLAG you will get booted after the 3 minute timer.

Vex Thal is a zone which requires a KEY ... zone's with a KEY requirement you will stay inside. Supposedly a GM could technically check to see if you have a key or a flag for a zone though.

Hope that helps some.

from how I understand piggy you'd only get stuck at the entrance to that zone and be waiting to get in. You'd see some error like you need a key or such.

I know for a fact that you can /zone into VT and VP

Here's why:

Piggyzone calls an offset within eqgame.exe. When you try to zone into a keyed zone like VT, eqgame checks to see if you have a key to it, if you do, it calls the offset. If you don't, you get the error. Piggyzone, however, just calls the offset without doing any checks. The reason that this doesn't work with flagged zones is the check for a flag occurs inside the zone also, constantly.

hmm... detour anyone? *innocent aura*

3min timers and flagged zones (elementals, time, qvic) are easily countered.

Well, yes. But if I'm not mistaken it will throw an Invunerablity on you that will not show up on your buff bar. Information was provided from an unknown source. Thanks to specific person =)

Lol....no invun needed.

hrmm...from what I was told, its not something that you cast, its something that the server casts...then again it was against a specific lock, so I'm not sure if it will work.
