Rotating ZEM
 

I’ve seen a few mentions of this here and there, so I wanted to just throw out a thread and a poll dedicated to the idea to see if people would generally be behind it, and if so, maybe the devs would consider implementing it.

Basically, the idea is that right now, static ZEMs (zone experience modifiers) make some zones much better than others to level in. This results in an exp highway that the majority of people follow in order to level as quickly as possible. It typically goes something like Kurns -> Unrest -> HHK -> Mistmoore -> COM...

The issue with the ZEMs never changing is that this route, and subsequently the most populated zones, also remain static. This means a lot of zones out there are left underutilized if not outright abandoned.

The idea behind rotating ZEMs is that the modifiers on these zones would randomly change once every X period of time, for example once a month. This would refresh the exp highway that a lot of us have done to death, and start drawing players into experiencing a much larger variety of the zones in the game.

I will vote yes, knowing that this would never get implemented

The thing is, nobody can ever know what the classic zems are at any given time, and if it was rotated and kept unknown, it would technically be classic.

People don't level in citymist/karnor/etc only because of the experience modifier, but also because they're safe and convenient zones that aren't going to wipe their groups every other pull. You can put just about whatever reasonable ZEM in something like Dalnir that you want and you still won't have much more than power-levelers or the occasional guild group going there.

I voted yes because now I dont select which character I want to play today, i select which zone I wanna play in today.
