Change up the ZEM

[onmove_broke]

Could the team change up the ZEM a bit? For the past 5 characters, I have done Unrest>MM>CoM>KC. Reason being is that the population is so low, these are the only zones where you can find pickup groups. I tried guilding up but it seems like people under 55 still just do their own thing. It is easier to just log in and hit one of these zones for a pickup group.

Any suggestions to zones that would be ripe for a ZEM increase would be welcome.

They have been switching up zems and should be ready by the next update. Check back in 2 years.

That path has been well trodden for over 10 years at this point, it's just where people go.

The only deviation was The Hole but the ZEM change took people out of there and people are just KC'ing.

My enchanter hit 59, my options are KC or trying to band people together for a Sebilis/Howling Stones run.... but you know when you do someone has to log an hour later and it can get difficult to replace there.

It's a shame places like Kaesora and Dalnir are just such garbage. I wonder if increasing Zem to like 300% would bring people there. I think the biggest issue is that all of the zones people take are all outdoor, so for my ranger, it makes the most sense to do CoM then KC.

Maybe a QoL change would be to allow sow etc in indoor zones. CT is a nice zone too but not sure why people do not go there.

CT is so wonderful. Near a ring and a spire, sow and harmony enabled, Druid charm pets, neat potion drops. Piles of weak mobs with low HPs and no AC. Only down side really is that half the trash are clerics but outdoor so even druid can interrupt with wind.

Wish it was the post Luclin version with all the brownskins that would make it a raid zone because no level 65 or AAs. Amazing loot too.. Not classic i know but sometimes you don't want an eight track in your car just cause it's a '57. I'm just saying...

UPDATE THE ZEM!!

I remember how insane the CT exp was on P99 Green. Before Kunark came out it was common to 30-45 in a single day there while in a group. IDK why it stopped being used since it's actually still superior experience, and probably even more face roll with Kunark / Velious gear. I know from first hand experience that it's dramatically faster than leveling 30-45 in UR/Mistmoore/CoM.

Prime time for CT was pre velious when all the raiders rolled twins to carry groups between raids.

Then 24 hour windows started in ST, many more raid targets became available with Kunark and for the past 3.5 years poopsocking raids has been the number 1 time sink for players on green

CT, sol a, Splitpaw and the Hole still have high ZEMs. They're all located close to ports. But they all remain empty in favor of unrest / mistmoore.

They're slightly more difficult (fun) but nobody goes to them. It's not the ZEM, it's the lack of experienced players leading groups in this dungeons
