I'd like to note from the start that I am presently running a local server. It is entirely possible that these issues do not exist on the public emu servers.
If so.. then I suppose that relegates this post to the "help me with my LAN server" type. And finally, though my consent in the matter would be quite immaterial... I'm not wanting to be a pain--if this post constitutes clutter (read: lan server support / shouldn't be posted here), please do feel free to delete it =P ... but please, then, inform me in some way or another that I either shouldn't post such topics or tell me where I should post them.
In my defense, I'd like to keep a private server running purely as a means of testing quest fixes, and similar. I certainly could make myself an account for the public emu servers.. but I'd then need to level a character to 18 (to test this line). While far from a monumental task.. I'm hoping that it's not that inappropriate for me to ask this as I am. This is important to me because it relates to my ability to fix/test things in general. For example: suppose I try to fix the Iksar Shaman Cudgel Quest? .. should I start levelling a legit shaman rather than asking about it? (and so on...) To me, this approach seems more productive.

And finally...
To address the un-livelike nature of these spells, first... they don't zone you. The succor/egress spells simply warp you to a set of coordinates within your present zone.
This in-and-of itself wouldn't be so much of a problem if they still retained their primary function.
Namely, they don't wipe agro.
While this doesn't make them useless, it certainly takes away a good deal of their potential.
Take Sebilis, for instance. It really sucks when you evac into a dead-end hallway (the zone-in)... and know a train of mobs is running for you. Sure you can take a few seconds to mem gate and use it to get out of there, but that's really not the point.
I don't know that it would be within my ability to fix, but I'd be quite happy to try to find a fix for this myself. It'd be nice to have some idea of where to start looking, though...
Thanks in advance for your time in reading this.
