most of these zones are heavy melee based mobs with very little casters, and usually if they are casters they dont heal (mistmoore). There are some zones like CoM which I find are kind of out of the way from any banks or vendors but most of the zones are logical to level up because they are close to places to vendor/bank. After 50+ it doesn't matter because you can hammer and anybody can bank in OT (if they know how to do it, which isn't hard to figure out). Problem with droga/dalnir/nurga/najena and permafrost is theyre all out of the way and all fortified with healers. Najena maybe being the best out of all those places since it can be close to neriak or the druid rings in LS. Back when the server first started I remember the blackburrow groups, that was a fun zone, you don't quite get groups like snake pit or elites going anymore in blackburrow.

I summon thee, dreaded Swish, He of the perpetual forum camping!

Appear before me with a "not classic" cat gif, Swish!

Swish! With a third call of your name do I seal the summoning!

...and so it was:-

Bump.

There's gotta be more people that agree with me.

I would love to be able to go to CT and form a group there without having to beg ppl to come. I'm fairly sure on live this wasn't a problem because ZEM's weren't known. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

people don't group at CT because almost everything casts, a lot of stuff CHs, and then you spend half the time running down a winding tunnel, blind from lizardmagics with a horde of stumpy-armed lizord mans in hungry pursuit

All the ZEMs on p99 are not classic or were in anyway true to timeline. Nice punt on the meme's though.

I think most of the server would agree that hot zones as a concept are a good idea. But I doubt most would agree that they should be added here ... and even if 100% did agree it wouldn't matter, because this is not a democracy.

P99 is Rogean and Nilbog's project, and they have been very clear that they want it to be classic, not what the server wants or what would be "good".

If it had a higher ZEM people would suck it up and try a new zone.

This.

But the same group of neckbeards will always flock to these kind of threads and pound their dickbeaters on the keyboard "NOT CLASSIC" before passing out.

I for one would love to see people leveling in Gorge of King Xorbb and Warrens.

Edit: Also, were footraces to raid targets classic? I don't remember [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
