Default Yet Another Green Question to Ponder: ZEMs

P99 has long had unclassic ZEMs (Zone Experience Modifiers), apparently with the logic that most people didn't know exact ZEMs on live (only cheaters who used ShowEQ ... which is how we know today what the classic ZEMs were), so the devs changed them here to be more mysterious.

But with Green being a return to the true classic experience, do you think we'll get classic (or at least more classic) ZEMs, the exact same unclassic Blue ones, or something new (so that we really don't know what they are this time)?

My vote is to bring back the classic ZEMs: the original decision was made long ago, and it doesn't seem to fit the rest of P99. If we have unclassic recharging, OT hammers, 24/7 guise camps, etc. because "that's how it worked on live (even though 99.9% of the server didn't know about those things at the time)", then doesn't the same logic apply to ZEMs?

99.9% didn't know then, but a similar percentage do now (and yet even so, Green emulates what classic was, not how people remembered it)?

My opinion is, why not make Green have classic ZEMs just as it has classic everything else? But regardless of my opinion, what do you think the devs will do?
