IMO the most "classic" move is hidden and monthly randomized ZEMs. People didn't know too much about ZEMs back in the day and just leveled wherever.

The staff has already stated that (something like) this is their goal
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Instead of
classic ZEMs, we have deliberately
unclassic ZEMs here (which
feel more classic because of their mystery) ... even though almost everything else here tries to copy live exactly. This is a rare staff exception to their general "classic mechanics over classic feels" policy.
The sad part is, when it comes to "controversially classic" stuff like this, they seem to give up after their first attempt and decide "it's decent enough". But if the goal of this place is to get people to see classic EverQuest, what would
really be ideal (instead of one adjustment every ten years) is to rotate the ZEMs every so often to make the least-used zones have better ZEMs, and the most popular ones have worse.
They would still want to keep the ZEMs secret of course, but then they could say "ZEMs will secretly change behind the scenes, and while you can't predict them, the unpopular zones are going to get higher ZEMs over time ... so go explore Norath if you want the best XP".
