So I was in Miragule's Menagerie yesterday and when I went to leave when the LDoN was done it wouldnt let me out the front door. It said "that zone is not ready for visitors".


What's going on???Smiley: confused

I wonder if the zone you were trying to get to was down? I've seen that happen before, but very rarely.

Several of the LDON instance zones are plagued by this, and apparently have been for years. Some of the instance zones are unaffected but other versions of the zones seem to always have the broken exits.

I know I'd seen a thread on the official EQ forums requesting a fix years ago, but can't recall if it went unanswered by devs or if they intimated that it was a problematic fix for some reason.

Either way, at this point I'm sure its nonexistent on the priority list given the fact they don't have the time to accomodate raising the level caps for LDONS.

As Saeel said, it's been a known issue for years. I generally try to keep a way to gate out on me when doing them, just in case. If you're not in a hurry, you can always switch to a different toon until the 30 minute timer is up and the instance departs, and you should log back in at the entrance in the static zone. And finally, there is always the option of dieing if there are any mobs left to kill you.

This may be one of the many reasons so many shroud to do the easy low level ones just for the wins.

Yther Ore.

I'm intrigued because I was here a couple weeks ago and had no issue. Crashed zone?

Nope. Bugged exits. Happens frequently to me, usually in Everfrost (since that's the one I was doing most.)

You won't always see it with any particular LDON theme. (Miragul's in your case.)

Each theme has multiple zones used for the instances, and the broken exits seem to only plague certain ones. Going off faded recollection here, but I remember some of the instances always functioning properly and some always being borked.

Lots of times, I'd two box the LDoN's on both of my mages.. because I really can't find anyone to do them anymore. I used to do them religiously every day (about 4-5 times a day).. And I could have guaranteed that at least once... the instance would get buggy. I guess fixing it isn't high on the priority list.

I think at this point, we'll be lucky if they ever even raise the level caps on the LDONs. Once the level cap goes to 95 it's going to make it an extreme headache (not that it isn't already) for a max level toon.

The last dev comment on the broken exits that I recall was Rashere saying they had fixed them. This was probably 3+ years ago, and I don't remember any more dev response when it was confirmed they were still malfunctioning.
