Suggestion to Encourage Levelling Across Norrath

[Jibbery]

Hi all,

As a long time (old time) EQ fan and I jumped back on P99 after a break. It was brilliant picking a new class/race and levelling and exploring old world via a new perspective.

Something as I’ve noticed in the run up to 50 is how the ZEM of Paw, Cazic Thule and Hole makes you choose these zones for XP or anywhere else for fun/variety.
The good behaviour this ZEM created critical mass in the zone. What isn’t as fun is you are stuck in hole for 50-60.

Could we implement a rotating ZEM in new zones every few weeks or months? This could help encourage exploration and variety but keep critical mass in some zones.

Is this a horrible idea?
If not, what zones should be considered?

Comments welcomed!

Hugs and Kisses,

Jibb

Seriously. Just get rid of ZEM's all together honestly.

Then people just pick whichever zone is most efficient and go clog up there. That doesn't resolve the root issue at all.

agreed.

one low ZEM for outdoor zones.
one HIGHER ZEM for dungeons.
one middle ZEM for dungeons with the best loot tables - Seb, HS

EQ gets more interesting. No more lawyer questing Camp stealing bitching in Hole. Economy gets balanced with more variety; you cant give Loam away.... its worthless because Hole is the only zone to level past 50.

Nothing would make P99 more classic than balancing the ZEMs and letting players explore.

/ all hole.. List was cut short cause all of Riot/Kittens/Vanquish is packed in there.... 4 players in Karnor. 1 in Velks. 5 in Seb. 1 in Solb. 1 in Chardok. 0 in Howling Stones..

WTF is this shit?!?!

It just makes too much sense to have changing ZEM's

Be great to make the entire karanas a crazy kill boosted area to get people out there.

And so many other places.

Why is anybody in a hurry playing a game called EVERquest.. No ZEMS needed.. All zones the same.. Grind on you bums.
