Misty Thicket missing zone file?

[hayward6]

This is interesting... It really hadn't occurred to me, but there are probably folks starting well after the zones revamps and have very little idea what problems that presented. I was just sitting here wondering why we're getting so many black zone threads...

Anyways. As the Everquest team revamped zones, those new zone files were completely incompatible with the old database, locations, texture, etc. Most servers run the old zones, so you need to swap out the zone files in your client... I know there's an explanation somewhere. Let me go search it out.

*Edit - Yeah the big problem is we're not allowed to give out files or even suggest it, so there's no good way to just sticky a thread here... You have to go purchase an old install disk, or do some searches. The information is there.
