However, on Oceania Classic there is no Trammel ruleset and these locations that are physically located on the maps of the Trammel Facets are actually all under the Britannia/Felucca ruleset, meaning players may be freely attacked by others. The Trammel map is being used in this way to provide a second "instance" of these locations. Players are unable to leave these isolated/locked off areas and get into the rest of Trammel (which is completely empty anyway).
