People talk about how EQ is awesome due to the challenge and WoW is easy mode. Yet barely any groups go to challenging dungeons like Befallen, Najena, Runnyeye, Sol A, Permafrost, Dalnir, and Cazic Thule and they have high ZEMs, apparently not high enough.

The game has a very sharp curve with regards to resists and hits/misses (both on you and the target) if there is a large discrepancy in levels between you and what you're fighting. Nothing makes for a shittier time than your level 9 group getting fist-fucked by a level 18 ghoul in a dungeon with key progression.
A shitty but classic fact about EQ in this era was that the zones were designed to hold a very large range of levels. You could xp in befallen from level 3-25 if you were picky about the mobs. The unintended side effect was that you would essentially be walled off from content with a very good chance your "wall" would come screaming at you with the force of 50 mobs your level. The long and short of it is that high ZEMs only serve power levelers and nothing short of a revamp will change it, which isn't going to happen because classic.
We all have our reasons for choosing this server as our vice but I think most of us came here because it was classic, not perfect.
Tl;dr - original dungeons suck and rarely worth it. Shits classic.
