As I understand it, back in the day people used the cheat program ShowEQ on live to determine the exact ZEM of every zone. The original EQ Emulator people had access to that data, and based the stock EQ Emulator ZEMs on them. Because those ZEMs were widely known, and because on live ZEMs were only known by ShowEQ users (ie. relatively rare, fairly technical, cheaters), Nilbog changed them on P99 to restore mystery. But with the hindsight of all these years of project decisions, that choice really feels out of sync with all the rest of the decisions that have been made.Almost universally they've all favored "the actual way classic was" over "re-creating a classic feel". See CH items, Midnight Mallets, obtaining OT Hammer via Puppet Strings ...

I know you are very "give us the ZEMs" or "use ZEMs we know" loramin, but it just doesn't seem like it's for the best for the game. Already, without knowing the ZEMs, on blue there is usually only 1 dungeon people will do per level range, and not due to lack of population (30 people in upper guk or mistmoore is a bit much). I think a rotating / or new, unknown ZEM that encourages people to spread out and try new dungeons would be a lot of fun, and really give a more classic feel(which the devs want), since people in 1999-2000 did not know which zones were best and did not try to min-max so hard, as you seem to be in favor of

It feels to me that the wiki ZEMs are fairly close to what is actually in game. So that is technically classic isn't it?
I would love to see rotating ZEMs but that didn't happen until Luclin era or was it even later? | ||

People will be spreading out in Classic by sheer necessity, no ZEM adjustment needed. You will see groups in Permafrost, CT, Najena, Splitpaw, etc... It will be glorious.

In virtually every other decision made, P99 sticks to what's classic, not what's best for the game. And no matter what ZEMs get set, players are going to swarm to perceived high ZEM zones. All that using well known/classic ZEMs would do is at least let players swarm in a slightly smarter and more classic way to the popular zones.

The Qeynos Aquaducts is one of my favorite zones. I don't know if ill be down there though but since I was Rallos Zek qeynos murderer I learned the ins and outs. Delicious cubes to kill.
