Blue metagame is only easiest zones or exploit non classic AE farming. Just look at all the peasants squabbling over mobs in MM while real adventurers zones like guk sit mostly empty. It is in such a sad state I actually witnessed a group of PLers take the canyon away from the pond group in MM last night.

Won't even PL if you aren't 100 feet from a ZL, now that's some classic challenge right there.

Were you one of those squabbling peasants?

I wish, would have been a lot more entertaining. I gave the poor newbies some buffs so they could compete with the raid guild scum stealing their merbs to PL alts tho.

Was just a sad scene all around I felt like the red cross guy who could do nothing but watch the orphanage burn and hand out blankets.

Why would you PL in Mistmoore unless its the unoccupied part like castle? Much better exp in an empty zone even if the ZEM is less.

Also Upper Guk is usually pretty busy.

Yes, there are a TON of zones that are massive, that have plenty of mobs to kill.

You need to stop following leveling guides and start exploring.

As of now, every single one of them is unplayable (Saturday night primetime)

Because every single one of them...from levels 9 to 16ish...is in an area completely taken over by ubertwinked cunts that steal all the mobs and assling PL dr00d 'assistants' that keep them regened and DSed.

I spent an hour in Lavastorm of all places...soloing at 16, leveling to 17....minding my own business on my mage.

Sure as shit, twinked to the balls level 10 (!) DE enchie with a 40+ assling dr00d in tow rip through the entire visible area near Najena (where the mobs are dark blue or higher to me at 17) and fucking EMTPY it of mobs inside of 3 minutes while I med on the ramp.

I've got a lowbie necro in FoB. He's 12 now. Has been for weeks. Trying to get a toe in edgewise in Kurns is an excercise in futility. You guessed it....6AM, 10 PM, doesn't matter...twinks PLing the way through.

Crushbone? Good fucking luck. I have a 10 ranger, a 9 druid, and a 10 cleric there. The druid and ranger also tried Blackburrow and Runnyeye. Shouted for groups .... nothing but twink partners.

C'mon. Doesn't anyone actually PLAY the fucking game and learn how to play a class?

so as soon as the game actually gets the least bit hard you bitch and moan and ragequit. Gotcha.

Go play WoW.

When I was in UGuk a couple months back it was pretty busy, and LGuk was fairly busy when I would occasionally pop in. On Red, however, they are both empty far more frequently than MM. I personally love MM, though, so I don't mind.
