Is Nek Castle still being worked on?

[Trip]

Hi there! I was finally able to make it to Nek Castle and noticed that the maps for this zone do not work correctly. I read some of the other posts, and a few people have mentioned that the maps for this zone are not finished. Specifically, the basement floor has not been done.

I'm pretty sure, that I do not have the skill in xml, or a high enough leveled avatar to finish this zone; however, it occured to me that there are some very fine mappers in the EQ2 Interface community. If anyone, who has the skill and needs a project, this one is ripe for attention. It may just require you to fix the xml code for map switching (ie., different floors and pages).

I bring this up, because I'm sure many people use this zone to complete heritage quests. A good in game map would shorten the time needed to find your way around. It took me a few hours the first time I went through and most of that was just wandering around trying to figure out how to get to the 6 sisters.

For me to work on this zone, I would need a few more levels so that all the mobs are grey. This way I could finish mapping without having to fight every couple of minutes. Someone 41+ could map this entire zone with no aggro, except there is an epic Level 45^^^ group X2 mob called Archfiend Izzoroth in the stairs of Deirdre Everling's bedroom. Just start a new map line, jump the stairs and run to the wall. He is permarooted and cannot hurt you from the other side of the room. I would say to do the best you can with this room and move on, because you can always add lines to the map with your paint program later.

I am hoping that some of the new mappers in the community were not aware that this zone was unfinished and by posting this I could bring new light to this project.

I submitted a map for level 3 of the castle, but it never got put in, so I kinda lost interest in doing the rest....
