That bump to HHK was way way late into the game. I’m pretty sure I was 60 on live. It’s not classic. It was to get lowbies to group.

Since we're armchair game dev'ing this, I'l just put all outdoor zones at 100 and all dungeons at 120 and call it a day.

Enjoy your free game fellas

HHK.. the place to be from lvl 20 to 50.

Even in Live beta it was commonly known that dungeons had a bonus. It could have easily been a myth, though. Most things commonly known then were myths: You have to loot the old corpses to spawn more mobs; early invis breaks are caused by being out of food/water; Pristine Scarab Carapaces only drop if you kill with non-melee, otherwise it will crack; INT governs tradeskill skillups while WIS reduces failures, etc etc.
