If they have to make changes to the zone files to allow access to Underfoot, then they will almost certainly rework the zone. Check all previous expansions since PoP: LoY (Stonebrunt, no geometry change), GoD (Jaggedpine - not changed, but messed with), Omens (access via PoD), DoN (Lavastorm reworked), DoD (Nektulos reworked), PoR (N Ro, S Ro, Freeport all reworked), TSS (High Keep reworked), TBS (Toxxulia reworked), SoF (Steamfont reworked), SoD (Time, portal added).
I assume that these historical changes were made because it was simpler to redesign the zones than to modify old zone files, and that this was due to some changes associated with one of the reworking of the graphics engines, or loss of their internal zone editor tools.
The cliknar weren't in all parts of the zone; the only epic mods impacted would have been Glohnor and the berserker mob in the Temple - Lamenting Spirit. That was true a couple of days ago, although they could have spread since then.
The "permanent" change will not affect the overall zone, the only minor effect it will have is on the Guardian.
Is the Guardian used in any-one's Epic?
Also the new zone in location from the "pit" in paineel is permanent.
