Zone overpopulation

[Rygar]

I never really sat LFG, only exception when I was trying to get my pipe in KC. Always made my own group.

These under utilized zones all have tricks on how to best conquer the dungeon and have great exp spots. You just need to take some time to, you know, learn the zone.

Die? Sucks, but learn from it, don't give up. Sometimes eat a death, you will be surprised how fast you make it up at mid to lower levels. Not having luck fighting at zone line? Push a little deeper and try new things. Certain mobs give you problems? How do you avoid them or learn to neutralize them (stun lock? Charm? Dispell? Slow? Fear?).

There arent always perfectly laid out camps where you sit on your ass and watch Netflix as easy warrior mobs with low hp die in rapid exp gravy train succession.

Learn a new zone, may need to depend on some other classes. Part of the fun of EQ class dependence.

Ok, so what would be a good place for a level 13 pally?

Nah, there's plenty of room and plenty of stuff to kill. Just because the population all congregates in a handful of zones doesn't mean the server needs to change, the player base needs to adapt and start spreading out.

Najena just starting to heat up at 13.

I dont doubt that, just up the xp in those areas and people will sread out. That's my point of suggesting that.

Not true, upping the ZEM is no guarantee that people will spread out. The Hole is a perfect example. HS as well. Amazing XP modifier in the hole, very scarcely populated.

I am sure there are contributing factors at play there. Risk vs reward. How much of a pain is it for non casters to get there and back.
I have never hunted there so I couldn't say. My highest level toon on P99 is 15th and on live i had/have a 30 something druid who rarely went dungeon delving.
I am venturing now where I feared to tread then. It's been fun but the fun is wearing thin becouse everywhere I go the place is wall to wall groups and hunted till the places are empty.

Maybe players should nut up and try out different zones? I've noticing the Hole and Chardok are getting more exp groups, but they could both support way more. Great alternative to KC/Seb

Yeah hole could have 30+ players in zone and still have spots open for xp. And yeah the Hole has some difficulties but if you got a rogue and a cleric you are pretty much set. I love that zone so much haha.

SolA was another place that is dope xp and cash but always dead in less you brought a group.

Jesus people really will complain about anything

Not a complaint. It's an observation with a possible solution.

Clearly he wasn't talking about you, he was making a self-referential post complaining about how people complain about everything, while at the same time complaining about his own post, as it complained about something so obscure (a person proposing an idea) that it itself could be taken as complaining "about everything" [You must be logged in to view images.

It was a truly next-level post, and then when you consider the fact that the poster's name was "Indiscriminate Hater" ...
