Default EOC - Copy zone observation

HI,

Was playing around in the copy zone tool and I noticed something that may be important.

I was making a copy of fhalls (99 to play around with a custom zone and I noticed that when it creates the new npc entries it increments the npc numbers to 999XXX.. This could be a problem, if I understand the npc numbering system correctly.

If I have this right, any npc should have the first 3 digits of its id as the zone they are in. So 344 is guildlobby and the npcs all start with 344.

But I noticed that when I made my fhalls copy (zone 99 it created all the new npcs as 999 which is apprentice (999).

I was lucky in that 999 is really nothing. But i think this could be a problem if I had chosen say any other zone to copy. Then all the npcs for my copy would be incorrectly id'ed into the next incremented zone prefix. This would make using the zone prefix for npc queries not so good..
