I did #zone ccity and nothing happened - it didn't give me an error, but it didn't zone either. any thoughts?
i was thinking if i could get these added as new zones, i could make them accessable via quest or npc - kind of like tutorial.

The list of short names for zones is hard coded into the client, so you can't add a new name. It will always be a trade-off, one existing zone for a new one.
There are some zones that are in the client but not used in the game: tutorial, aviak, tutoriala, tutorialb, nektropos, arttest, and probably others. So you could technically use these without affecting the game or taking a zone used in live.
The best way to find these is to match short_name from the DB zone table with files in your EQ folder.
