Rotating Hotzones ZEMs

[project99toons]

Hoping this post gets enough traction to spark GM interest -

What are your thoughts on P99 implements hot zones? How many of you are tired of fighting in the same zones? This would spark interest and let people discover zones that have a ZEM multiplier for X length of time.

They’ve rotated them multiple times…

Why not just go to another zone, no need to chase the ZEM, play to enjoy... not to rush to 60.

That would be fun, so not a viable change. Maybe you should suggest all ZEMs be removed? That might get traction.

The reason why people want rotating ZEMs is because it incentivises people who do chase ZEM to be in a different zone. This allows greater opportunity for grouping with random people in the high ZEM zones.

I like the idea personally, since everybody knows everything about the game anyway. The devs would probably just need to let people know in the login message whenever this changes, since not everybody looks at the forums.

It's an idea many have proposed before, but I really don't think it will ever happen.

Why? Because if you look in the upper-left corner, you'll see that the entire point of this place is classic EverQuest ... and rotating hot zones weren't a thing in the classic era.

Agreed. Chances are slim it will ever happen. Blue is technically open to the possibility of "custom content", but that has yet to be seen.

Make SG and PoG the highest ZEMs in the game.

Love the idea... wish they rotated zem weekly so more zones got activity and you could mix up the scenery that you're in. Just make it automatically rotate thru seb, chardok, hs, hole, KC, etc... doesn't even have to be big like maybe 10 or 15% bonus in that hot zone.

People are so twinked now grouping doesn’t really make sense for many. Mostly solo or duo with another twink friend.
