It wasn't that kedge xp was ever overpowered but at launch kunark xp was underpowered. The kunark xp has since been fixed but it is still faster to xp 50-60 in solb on spiders/imps or permafrost pits because the npcs have less hitpoints than what you find in kunark dungeons.
This comes at the cost of loot, you certainly won't get kunark quality upgrades in the old world.

Except in the case of GEBs =). Not many casters that don't run around in a fresh pair.

Part of the reason people were leveling so fast in Kedge back in march/april was because of charm, which was also nerfed. They would charm the named sharks (which have high MR) to kill mermaids + seahorses. Before the charm nerf, I did 59-60 in about 20 hours of played time in permafrost as a druid. (all without boxing a cleric and mage to plevel me, too)
After the ZEM reduction, kedge just isn't worth it. I found sol b dogs to be much better for the low to mid 40s, then karnor's. It's important to look at other factors aside from exp per kill. Kedge mobs have a wide level range, named sharks and all horses have highish MR, aggroing through walls is a problem, AoEing cleric and druid buffed level 1 fish increase downtime, few mobs are single pulled without lull, and just plain running out of mobs that are level appropriate are all issues. The old ZEM might have been a bit much, but the current ZEM is too low if you want Kedge to match the exp rates of alternatives. | ||

I would respectfully ask for a verification of said reduction from obscenity, as I believe that the intent was to slightly reduce and the result is to kill completely. I've leveled many toons in kedge pre-nerf, and tried to level a couple post-nerf, and the xp rate went from overpowered to abysmal. Given all the extra obstacles that kedge offers already, I think it should have gone from overpowered to very good. I don't believe that in its current state it actually reflects the best ZEM in the db, which is what makes me ask for a re-check, if at all possible. 'stuce | |||
