Believe it or not though, a lot of mobs STILL do end up under the world in those areas hehe.

Yes different z-planes come into play
Whenever placing a point, the x,y,z will be stored for it.
Not sure how many will need to be placed to stop them walking 'on air' though...perhaps just add points to the top and bottom of hills
But, dunno how the EQ engine works, the stuff I'm using has the 'bots' collide with the world (gravity etc), so I don't have to worry about them going over/under the world.
I guess thats not the case with EQ
