But really, I Agree with heartbrand here. Don't get hate on PoK. People don't use half of the classic zones as is. No one is grouping in splitpaw or runnyeye or gorge of King Xorbb or lake Rathetear or west Karana or Blackburrow or permafrost or Kithicor or north Karana or Cazic thule or south ro or north ro or befallen or najena...
There may be a solo guy or two EXPing in those zones. Very rarely are they getting grouped in currently.

Because many of those zones are shit / massive train town asking for CR. I remember I went to gorge once on live back when the game was still quite new (I don't think anyone was level 50 yet) and vowed never to go back after everyone got charmed and CR was a pain in the ass. A similar thing happened in runnyeye. IDK though, maybe it was because none of us knew the zone at all.
Also the xp bonus sucks in a lot of those zones and the server is 5 years old so there is a lot of stratification at the upper levels and a lot of the low levels running around are twinks and can solo.
A lot of the zones are not used because they are just plain... bad zones for one reason or another.
It's not even all that different with vanilla WoW, most of the low-mid level dungeons were extremely underutilized because they were a general PITA. How many people did you see in Desolace for that matter?
Anyway I don't think underutilized means we should have books to skip across continents. It just means some zones go underutilized. Big deal. You don't even have to cross most of those zones for anything. And they do give a "safety outlet" for xp if the server is particularly crowded with a certain level group because of double xp or holiday weekend or some other reason.
