Rotating ZEM

[platapus]

Am I really the only one here that is just playing this game to play this game? Or does everyone here actually think there is a reason to get the most xp possible while you play on a server that is 9 years old?

I was denied entry into a trio at level 33 lmao I was like wtf are you smoking?

Just go out into the Karanas and hail NPC's like you're supposed to be doing.

On the one hand, I'm a very "EQ is about the journey, not the destination" kind of guy.

But, on the other hand, the entire goal of the game is to get XP and pixels (gear). If you've already done the same zones over and over for the XP part, I don't see why there's anything wrong with wanting to be able to go somewhere new and interesting, and not be heavily penalized for doing so.

The classic experience took a backseat with account sales for in game plat being legal (I was guilty of selling one) and Chardok AOE. Thankfully both no longer exist.

Instead of random....I think we should sit down and look at the zones and decide a proper ZEM to match the various attributes of the zone.

Difficulty in pulling (like paw is a nightmare)

Nearness to civilization (permafrost is veryyy out of the way for most people at that level range)

Special zone considerations (kedge needing EB and being a pain gives it ++)

Loot (the better the loot, the LOWER the ZEM....zones with horrible loot get +)


I don't think just randomization would do too much. It would require people to go around to zone to zone just to maximize their exp? People won't, they will compare maybe 2 or 3 and then just settle down somewhere comfortable.

But making the list public and a function of careful consideration will mean people have more to work with and think about.

Voted yes, but it won't happen. Cazic thule having a 113% modifier in the face of all the bullcrap casting through walls seems dumb, and there are other zones like this that no one bothers with. Mixing it up for limited time periods has my interest.

Maybe as a seasonal event kind of thing - CT has a bonus exp mod for Halloween or somesuch.

There's only so much Nurga to enjoy, however.

The hotzone concept was actually a good idea... If you remove the hotzone easy quest for crazy loot and the added items/augs...

I will vote yes, knowing that this would never get implemented

Continuing with this logic, oot should get a xp boost due to our poor cash camp finally being pushed into being homeless... i.e. seafuries.
