I would say game knowledge should make LS all the better on P99 specifically. Oasis is technically easier because gators don't aggro and you have better lines of sight, but if you know where to stand in LS you're fine. There's not as many trains on p99 but p2 and the orcs were generally safe on live so it's not too much more dangerous than LS - and the mobs trained on you in LS aren't level 35. The problem is if everyone goes there then there's overcrowding. This was the case on live and on P99, especially on the XP highway zones like Oasis. Such was what caused Teal to exist, even though I think it was a kneejerk reaction because there are alternatives like LS. Lag is hard to quantify, but it did exist. I'd also add that a lot of leeches (on live and P99) go to Oasis just for the buffs at docks which causes overcrowding. It's another thing that's hard to quantify, but I've never been asked for buffs at the LS rings on live or P99 whereas waiting for a boat gives players an excuse to beg and has happened to me often. The level range issue is true, but the travel distance from LS to Oasis isn't anything to comment about. Unlike a game like FFXI where people leveled in and departed a zone at a fixed rate (e.g. Valkurm Dunes is 10-20, Qufim Island is 20-25, (insert 3-12+ hours doing an airship key quest) Yuhtunga Jungle is 25-30, etc) people on EQ easily flitter around to wherever makes sense depending on the circumstance. If we're to disregard unpopulated dungeons like Najena and Befallen that are definitely "needing some loving," then we're still left with the reality than Uguk is populated and maybe 6~ minutes further from Lavastorm compared to Oasis, with both zones capable of getting you to Uguk's level range. If anything I say this is a reason to buff Najena and Befallen. ZEM is one of those things that I think staff can easily play with without outraging too many people, so I think it's a very valid argument. Someone else mentioned a lot of Kunark zones had ZEM negatives. LoIO was one of those and I spent tons of time there on live, as well as FM/OT/DL. The reason is because other people were there so I could find a group. It had nothing to do with ZEM, difficulty or loot (not that I comprehended ZEM at the time). This is why I say LS would be fine if people merely went there, but no one does. Dalnir is seriously shit though. Seriously. | |||

P99 needs an ez server that ends in luclin where soloing on a caster to 60 with 1000 aas only takes about two weeks. Or 80 hrs played tops.
60hrs would be more sane and reasonable. | ||

Loio has a bunch of cool items if you are a new player on a new server where no one knows how to play and you have no better than store bought leather and a store bought longsword.

When Green/Teal was fresh my shammy got some of his upper teens soloing at the Najena entrance in lavastorm. Exp there wasn't exactly exciting, but it was steady and safe. And occasionally you could jump in on a group actually IN Najena.
