Another source for LOIO ZEM being 75 after the nerf from 100, in May 2001:

No offense, but I rather think you're making up your numbers to fit your formula, because my experimental numbers don't fit it.

Here's my group:

Level 16 High Elf Wizard
Level 19 Paladin
Level 19 Druid
Level 18 Warrior

The group killed a level 20 Sabertooth Tiger in Lake of Ill Omen, and the Wizard got 8285 Experience. The only way I was able to get the formula to even come close was to put the +5 modifiers in.

20 * 20 * 100 * .75 * (21 / 92) * 1.1 * 1.1

28 * 20 * 100 is for a level 20 mob
.75 is the ZEM of Lake of Ill Omen
21 / 92 is the group division (16+5) / (16+5 + 19+5 + 19+5 + 18+5)
1.1 is the group bonus for 4 players
1.1 is the class adjuster for int casters

I've got more data that confirms the formula, so I'm pretty sure at this point that it's accurate.

I am trying to find more sources for some of these "city" ZEMs supposedly being 100. It may have been true but I need to see an in-era mention to be convinced of it.
