Wheel of Time MUD

I mean, that's the case for all lockable doors. Just don't walk (or flee) out. We remove the indoor side of doors to make sure people aren't getting stuck in places, while keeping the mechanics of needing a key for the outside to get in, in place.

basically yes, but there's no way to reliably prevent the door locking you out. I have accidentally recreated the problem because i wasn't paying attention and typoed a flee. Headless is gone now but this problem still exists for anyone trying to do Alamir. I waited outside until tic to prevent the repop-if-no-one-has-entered-zone-in-a-while thing, then opened the door. after the next aggro pulse, it looks like the alamir zone repopped, closing the door to get in. I don't know if this is fixable except to move the door to one room east inside the zone and make it a down door into the alamir area.

Somewhere Near Horses
The strong smell of cured hay mixed with that of something more earthy,
combined with the low sound of the occasional horse nickering somewhere in
the distance, gives a strong indication that horses are nearby. A path
gently winds downward towards some sort of structure.

Before the Ruined Manor
Towering trees dwarf the ruins of a once proud manor to the north.
Destroyed years ago by accident or by the wars which wracked these lands,
it now waits as the forest slowly reclaims it. Even now its ivy-covered
walls are hard to spot through the trees and only white stones poke through
the undergrowth like bones.

Is the issue that two different zones have different repop timers?

I don't believe this is intentional.

The last 3 days in a row, twice each day, we've killed headless, then an hour or so later cut repops (closing the door), usually keys repop about this time, so we get keys, go back to headless.. and alamir hasn't popped (or headless).

Have been explicitly advised alamir won't pop if you stay in the smob, so leave the smob.. when we come back, cut has popped again.. but the keys to get into headless haven't.

So then need to wait again for keys to pop, at which point can get into headless again.
