People overestimate how important ZEM is. It helps but it is just one factor, and not the biggest. Mob density, pull distances, how strong mobs are for their level, how much downtime will you have, do you have to deal with healers, etc etc. If all that mattered was exp per mob then highkeep would be the only place anyone ever goes.
Some of the fastest exp I ever see is in two miserable ZEM zones, LoIO and OT. The mobs are all warriors, have pukeass stats, die easily, and there's so many of them you'll never have to move far to get one. It's dull, mindcrushingly dull, but it is *fast*. Compare to competing for mobs in Unrest MR, dealing with chain healing spiders in Kaesora, wizard nukes and shaman slows in Sol A... if what you're after is just pure exp per hour, sometimes the ZEM isn't as important as you think.
