A friend of mine played in the early days here, and he said Kedg exp was stupidly good ... like 3-4% per kill in the 40s good. That would fit a ZEM of 200, and that clearly doesn't seem classic.

But it seems like maybe there was an over-correction because of that, because as I said Kedge certainly didn't feel like even a ZEM 100 (140%), which is the wiki (presumably based on classic EQEmu data) shows.

Really, the frustrating part about this is ... why would I (or anyone) spend time trying to find evidence that it should have any particular ZEM, if Nilbog won't use it? I don't expect Nilbog to declare "the ZEM for every zone on P99 is _____", but if he could at least say
"I want classic ZEMs on Project 1999, and will consider evidence to make them more classic like I do with everything else", at least then there'd be a reason to.

I want to interpret:

C'mon great beloved P99 dictator for life, please, give us those magic words: "Yes, I want classic ZEMs on Project 1999"! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
