Reducing the ZEM for the most common leveling zones

The most efficient use of time is all most people care about, and taking Johnny_Bronze_01 out to Dalnir sounds terrible. The reason these zones are populated versus the ones that aren't isn't because you can bind nearby, or SoW to train the zone -- it's because the alternative zones have either far too few mobs, or far too annoying of mobs to fight. Dalnir? Clerics, wizards, traps, and pitfalls. Some of the most difficult to fight, and frustrating mobs that flee.

What's that? Mistmoore has backstab pets that can hit for 150 and plow through globs of mobs? It's also easy to get to, and do corpse runs to? AND it supports a large level range allowing you to go 20-40 without leaving a zone? There's also clerics who tend to camp out and offer free 96% rezzes, and buffs to groups enabling you to fight much longer before resting? High levels are often near by camping Soulfire and can help if something goes wrong?

OH YEAH WELL DALNIR HAS CRESCENT ARMOR11!1!1! FYTING BATENS! Bu-bu-but mah classikz experyiunc! I lebbeled in keeng jorb in 2001 in full brawnz with mah hi elf palurdan named xxinyuashaxx ! There is no paths left to "blaze" here, and no trail un-tracked. The community has discovered the easiest, fastest, safest, and most efficient places to level at during the long history of EverQuest and to try to change it is insane. The fun of EverQuest is often doing more with less, such as holding a full group camp down with 1-2 people, or soloing things far beyond your ability to do so.. Not killing Goblins in Nurga with a 5man because "FUK DA MIST MOORZ"

I said nothing about dalnir. You're fucked in the head.
