Been playing from a fresh install that I put together a few years ago. I haven't had any problems at all with it until yesterday. I was going in and out of Misty Thicket to PoK one evening on a new Druid. Logged off for the night and the next day the PoK Book to Rivervale no longer works. I didn't touch the database and I double checked the \quests\poknowledge\player.pl that I've seen mentioned a few times and even cross referenced what I have with the last few commits on GitHub and it looks like nothing changed as far as I can tell.

Here's a screen cap of the book in the "doors" table in the database:

The only thing I can figure is that it has something to do with the second to last database entry now reading "0" while all the other books show either "4294967295" or at least a non-zero number. The book for Felwithe for example shows "3" but everything else looks the same.

Anyone have some input on this? I've never encountered a PoK book randomly taking time off of work like this before and would love to know how to fix it or maybe even why it happened.

Thanks!

An update:

I solved the issue. Turns out I misplaced my client shortcut with the RoF2 client and started the wrong client. I was missing files for the RoF2 client. I referenced this (http://www.projecteq.net/forums/index.php?threads/fix-read-here-for-zoning-into-tox-old-zones.15199/) to fix my issue and grabbed their patch. So far it seems like it's repaired all of the issues.

Hope this helps anyone else in the future who encounters the issue.
