A little more info about this bug...

Until now I thought the zone the client wanted to zone me to was just random, but I have noticed that it isn't random at all. In fact, I think it is the result of the servers Zone::GetClosestZonePoint() method. I'm not sure I completely understand the details of the mechanics involved here, but I know when I zone into VexThal and the last zone I was in was Misty (I was in Misty on a #zone command so I was standing by the newbie guards on the far side of the zone near Clan Runnyeye (however it is spelled... I hate goblins), when I try to walk into vexthal from the zonein, the client at random will decide to zone me out and in this case it will say I am zoning to Clan Runnyeye... If I was in UP and standing near the Maidens Eye zone when I #zone to Vex Thal, then it will say I am being zones to Maidens Eye... I think this might be signficant only because the object used to by the server to calculate a place to send me to cancel the unsolicated zone request I believe has data from when I was in Misty even though when the client tried to unsolicate zone me out, I was in Vex Thal, not Misty.

Sorry if this sounds confusing and if I can clear any of this up better for you, please let me know.
