What level are you? If you're 55 or higher, you don't need the key. Most likely it's trying to click instead of using the Use key (U by default). You shouldn't need it on your cursor, but can have it there and use the U key. This is especially likely if you're not getting an error message when clicking without it on your cursor.
Also, check your /key ring for Palace Key (Vex Thal) EDIT: The Scepter of Shadows, as I remember as soon as you make The Scepter of Shadows, you get it on your key ring. If it's on your key ring, you don't need it on your cursor, or even on you at all.
I am level 83 now. I wasn't using the "U" key which may explain it. I checked /key and that one is not listed.
Going to try it again, hitting U this time...
Do you need to be in a raid to get in?
UPDATE: I tried "U" at the door with the scepture on my cursor and it said the door was locked. I am guessing you must be in a raid to get in? Why? Would like to see Sony fix that as I am sure it's almost a forgotten zone at this point. I'm just after a very specific drop, the Wand for summoning water. I have the orb already. :)
You don't have to be in a raid, I've went in solo many times, unless this is something new. EDIT: Solo today.
Anyway. just to make sure, you are talking about the zone in door in Umbral Plains, and not the 1st Castle door inside the zone? That door requires a key (Palace Key) dropped from Va Dyn Khar.
I'll go check it out, and get back.
EDIT: Had no problem, almost got in without aggroing Rumblecrush :) Also on an 83 Rng without The Scepter of Shadows.

wow i went through all items dropped from all named and it seems Wars get crap end of stick...Tons of stuff drops but hardly anything that would make me wanna hit this place up ...Better drops from emp in SSRA lol
considering this zone is 9 expansions old..and.. about 5 yrs old.. the fact that you're complaining the gear sucks is stupid. of course it sucks compared to current gear, but when it was ***NEW*** it was the best out there.
Been running a kill group through here(for clickies) for the past couple of months whenever it is up and we are on(all 70 alts from a demiplane guild).
Been running Warrior, Bard, Necro(me), Rogue, Shaman, Cleric. Have grouped everything inculding AHR easily.......takes a while on the names but the hardest part is clearing to them.

To the west and east of each mob there is a door, there is a torch in both corners of these rooms, and that is where you usually plant the coh bot. Only 1 mob roams and it does not see invis.
I think he meant any CoH points from TVK onward. The spots at blob 1 and DXXT (and DXV/DXX for that matter) are well-known. The spots after that are either non-existent or are not widely disseminated knowledge.

Vt aint that hard to get to if you got the time to get shards, and my guild has killed the Emp in Ssra many times for the rifts, easy kill, almost always flawless kills, several guild on 7th that farm emp, and VT, although only 1 guild on server in PoTime, PoP God's gotta be harder if 4 guilds in VT and 1 in PoTime.

[/Gold]First of all. i believe this is the 2nd hardest zone to get into, besides PoTime,
secondly, thsi zone is almost useless unless u have a raid with u 24//7 PS. is there a zone that apecializes in good paladin items? (only lvl 43 but better to knwo early and get it soon then wait til im 65 and find out there was uber no drop in some place that i could get at lvl 40[Gold]

I doubt the same could be said for Elemental Planes. As for Sleeper's, it's easy, but it takes time, only so many dragons up at once. Veeshan's Peek is a joke by today's standard, and the loot is **** poor. That key can be done in a day or two.

Excellent post, you're exactly right; except you may find that you can use ice as well as fire on the Va Dyns. Boss mobs aren't particularly resistant to either fire or ice, but they have a ton of hitpoints.
Would it be possible for a single group of 6 level 65's with a crap-load of AA's and HoT armor (or slightly better) to kill effectively non-named mobs here? Basically I am asking, did PoP's level 65 cap and all the AA's and spells that came with it significantly lower the difficulty of this zone to something a small force can do? (I know named are out of the question). Anyone who has extensive experience in this zone please respond. Thanks

PS. Yeah I know it's still a ways off yet for me, but I'd really like to know if I can even think of VT as an option if I don't join an "uber" guild.
Don't forget that you have to kill the Ssra Emp for part of the Vex Thall Key Quest. You will certainly need a good guild to help with that, and it's unlikely they let you loot the key quest items from the Emp if you are just on the raid as a guest.
