Default Exp Group for levels 50-60

What are 3 zones to find a pick up group for levels 50-60 other than the hole? My primary class is a warrior.

SolB is a ghost town and Sebelis is mainly guild groups only, have you played on Green anytime lately or just making shit up?

You're better off sending tells to LFG people and starting groups, the only zone for consistent pick up grouping is the Hole. Making a good buddy out of a cleric would be huge for you.

This seems pretty consistent with my experience. It's sad.. when the server first opened weren't there so many people that they started a Teal server?

Now there's only 1 zone to exp in?

Blame the ZEM for everyone sticking to the Hole more than the population. The population IS much lower than at launch but that was too much really. Its still a pretty healthy population.

Another problem is that many classes would prefer to solo or duo. A cleric and ench can absolutely wreck any group content in the game and make far more xp doing so than they would carrying a melee toon along with them.

Additionally, there's a problem of the other Kunark dungeons being considered "loot zones" versus "xp/leveling zones" by the general playerbase. If people are in KC or Seb primarily to farm then adding more people than they need just means more dice rolls to share the loot with from their viewpoint.

The Hole is a cool zone though. If you haven't spent a lot of time in it then its worth doing the 50-60 grind down there at least once, you'll learn a lot about the place. But I sympathize with you wanting more variety.

Skyfire mountains, charduck, and burning woidz is pretty good for some 49+ levels.

Guk is gr8 till 54.

The Hole has the best ZEM and it's big enough with fast enough respawn where it can support 10-12 groups. So unless you are looking for loot, there isn't a reason to be elsewhere.

Just to tack on to what my esteemed colleague said, let me put it this way... on Blue, without doing any leveling in The Hole from 51-60 (mostly KC, Seb, Chardok, and a tiny bit in HS every once in a while), it took me a year to get to level 60. That was with:
  • Hybrid XP penalty
  • People shunning hybrids due to the XP penalty
  • People extra-shunning rangers
  • Living in an apartment, single, playing most nights 6pm-11pm and most of the weekend unless my friends dragged me out or I had a hot one-and-done use-me-for-a-free-meal-and-ghost-me match-dot-com date that night.

On Green, mostly leveling exclusively in The Hole from about 54-60 with the following:
  • Hybrid XP penalty
  • People shunning hybrids due to the XP penalty
  • People extra-shunning rangers
  • Married and owning a home (so significantly less play time), generally only being able to XP on Friday nights, losing XP to DTs on Wednesday Sky raids, and being not able to play at all for about 6 weeks due to a back injury (I wish I had a better story like I hurt it during a wild fornication maneuver, but in reality I just stepped up on a stepladder to change a light bulb wrong I guess?)

I made it from 51 to 60 this time around in 6 months.

THAT'S how good the Hole XP is.
