Most underrated and overrated zones?
I'm a level 23 iksar shaman named shenethax as my main on this server but I've played on and off over the years on a bunch of different characters. I like to go out of my way to visit places that nobody really goes to... I feel like part of the eq experience to me is completing the places that are a bit out of the way. With that said, a lot of zones I found to be correctly rated by the community, but others are highly overrated or underrated.
As far as underrated zones, I think najena topped my list by far. There was really amazing loot(elementals, mage items) and a great camp further in for a level 20ish party. I was able to come out of here with around 500p just from selling loot in ec, and the zem was really nice considering how good some of the camps were once I learned them. With a bard or chanter to aoe mez goblins were pretty easy to farm without any deaths. The best part though I believe was the location. It's close to lavastorm(a great solo area) and ec, so forming parties, selling loot, or just soloing the pass the time were all easy options.
Most overrated I think is unrest, for a few reasons. First off is the location. If you go to unrest, good luck finding anywhere nearby to go. If you're there at level 15 or 20 you're basically stuck there since there's nowhere nearby to hunt besides dagnors cauldron. Next, this place was way way overcrowded. Even if I formed a party, there was no way to get a good camp during peak hours. This wasted a lot of time and I didn't feel like it was efficient exp. It was also difficult to form a group because there wasn't usually anyone available nearby the zone to ask. I didn't think this was a good spot to level in.
Anyone have any others to add to the list?
