accessing the time machine in plane of innovation a second can be annoying.
I had a fully flagged characterwho accessed potime the original way back when the content was current. with the quintessence in my house I re-hailed maelin in pok, got the dialouge about going to see muon in POI, but when I got to muon he told me to get lost.
I then got my quintessence out of the bank and rehailed maelin. nothing was different in his dialouge. I then went back to muon and he had the propoer dialouge asking if i wanted to proceed to the time projection chamber. I believe just having the quintessence in your inventory when speaking to muon is all that was required (I probably did not need to rehail maelin).
saying "yes" will port you to the machine, but ONLY if you are grouped. he wasn't porting me at first, but when i popped my merc and formed a group it worked fine (group of 2 works).
there is no reason to revist the time machine in POI, but its an area in EQ that not a lot of people have been to so it's fun to check out if you are bored. maelin spawns down there and has some dialouge about the pop storyline.
physically the time machine area is very deep underneath the rest of the zone. the z-axis is about -1800. I guess the draw distances back in the day were shorter, because if you look up into the sky from the time machine you can see other parts of the zone clipping through the sky.

Thanks so much for the info! I was getting a little frustrated until I looked at your post and added my merc to the group. Then it was an easy port!
Bored with current content, I just recently ran through the entire PoP flagging on 3 alts. Muon teleported all 3 to the Time Chamber area of Innovation, no problems.
Does not transport to the time-projection chamber anymore. Thanks to plane of time being open to anybody of the appropriate level, his function was broken and I doubt it gets fixed. Sucks too cause I finally completed planar progression and just need to use the time machine to finish the true time flag.
I also just completed the real Time key and found this mob doesnt port you to Loreseeker Maelin anymore. I was dead set on completing the flag though so i petition and low and behold a GM came into game and ported me to Loreseeker Maelin in PoI and i was able to complete the flag.
