As we know eventually zones that require a key become keyless and just have a level requirement attached. For example on Agnarr since the server stops at LDoN does anyone know if it was 3, 4, or 5 expansion passed the locked zones to get in with out a key. In short: will Sleepers Tomb be keyless by the time its LoY(3 past Velious) or LDoN(4 past velious)? Also to add a further curveball does LoY even count as an expansion?
When is keying/flagging no longer required for expansions?

According to the Jan. 18th patch notes: - - The Plane of Valor can now be entered at level 55 without other flags when Lost Dungeons of Norrath is open. This requirement lowers to level 46 when Dragons of Norrath opens. - - The Halls of Honor can be entered at level 63 when Lost Dungeons of Norrath is open. This will now lower to 57 when Dragons of Norrath opens. Previously neither exception would work on Progression servers. - - The Temple of Marr can now be entered at level 62 without other flags when Lost Dungeons of Norrath is open. This requirement now lowers to 57 when Dragons of Norrath opens. Previously there had not been an alternate level requirement for this zone on Progression servers until DoN unlocked it. - - Drunder, the Fortress of Zek can now be entered at level 62 without other flags when Lost Dungeons of Norrath is open. This requirement will lower to 57 when Dragons of Norrath opens. - - The Bastion of Thunder can now be entered at level 62 without other flags when Lost Dungeons of Norrath is open. This requirement will lower to 57 when Dragons of Norrath opens. Previously neither exception would ever take effect on Progression servers. - - The Tower of Solusek Ro can now be entered at level 57 when Dragons of Norrath opens. Previously there was no alternate level requirement available at any time on Progression servers. - - The Elemental planes (Air, Fire, Water, EarthA and EarthB) can only be entered via flag until Dragons of Norrath opens. At that point any level 60 will be able to enter these zones." Does anyone know if the entrance requirement for Halls of Honor is a typo? Why is it listed as level 63 to enter with LDoN, when all the rest of the zones of similar tier are enterable at level 62...
I think the Halls of Honor thing refers to HoH B, The standard zone opened up at the same time BoT did on Phinny. I think the level requirements have been lowered since too.
