Nothing is really out of the way in EQ when you can port there. Part of the fun of the original eq was running from Freeport to Qyenos, proof in point, all the dark races in GFay going to CB. .

That is fun and nostalgic the first few times but even I succor myself through the karanas on my druid to get to permafrost. And waiting on the boat to listen to that 20 year old midi music play as you sit and remember everything you did when you were younger but.. after awhile you just stop giving a fuck about that. Or at the very least want little risk for the same ole same ole.
I do not want to commit to a group by finding a port, getting a bind and get there to see they are still recruiting which can fall apart before, during or right after for various reasons like a randomly combusting cat, or someones kid wakes up or someones sexdoll starts talking and tells them they need to go or even a raid target spawning and whatever the reason there is always a domino effect that shatters non-highway groups and people gate out. Sure I had great times in DB/kitten guild groups for out of the way spots like kaesoria or dalnir but those are few and far in between. and if I can get a group on x alt in y zone, im just go to alt z and so on these days.
Its not called the exp super highway as a bad thing, but the only safe option because finding 5 other people who are willing to travel, bind and wait for 1-2 hours to get shit together and break the camp and stay there for enough time to make it worth it is.. just not practical for pugs.
Fuck I had groups in the oasis break up because moving from the pillar to the orc highway was too much for some.
