Lavastorm needs some loving

[Jibartik]

Lavastorm is the shit! I love that zone. Anyone who doesnt like it is a cucky halfelf or half something.

Not a pure blood darkelf who is superior in every way and enjoys the thundering sound of the gods clashing above the obsidian playground of my childhood.

Scerw you guys.

I think Lavastorm deserves a ZEM increase. Very underused zone, way better than Oasis.

Agreed. And the same goes for its higher level cousin, Skyfire Mountains.

It's a gigantic zone full of high level mobs to kill ... and the only reason anyone ever goes there is to get to/from Burning Woods/The Overthere/Veeshan's Peak (or for Talendor). It's a completely missed opportunity as a place for higher level characters to XP.

Not to mention the pants-shitting lavastorm explosion noise, which after 20 years I still always forget about and it scares the shit out of me every time

Omg I forgot about that! That, too!

People pretend dungeons are harder than travel zones to level. It felt true on live. It certainly isn’t here though. Travel zones are a pita to level in on p99. I’m not sure why.

Maybe mob density or pathing is different?

People used to run G Wurm groups outside VP quite regularly. Especially torpor hungry shamans. Exp could be boosted I suppose but most people capable of doing gwurms with 3-6 people are probably 60 already.

Oh yeah, I forgot about gwurm farming. But still, 95+% of the zone sits ignored and unused by level 50-somethings, despite being full of mobs (ostensibly) for them.

Of course, classically it was never a super popular XP zone either, as the mobs there have more HP than (say) the neighboring BW giants... but even so, I do remember people on live leveling there.

I occasionally see necros fear kiting in skyfire. No groups though unless farming named cycle for epic mobs/spells.
