Why does my STR increase when I zone into North Freeport?
 

STR is 66 in West Freeport. Zone into North Freeport, it's 79. Zone back to West Freeport, it's 66 again.

Is this working as intended? Or is it a bug?

If you're a paladin, it's probably because the presence of the holy warriors empowers you.

hm, never noticed anything like this before. just tested it and found that my STR is 255 in wfp and when I zone to nfp it's 255...

working as intended.

This happens to everyone. My hypothesis is that it's to help you get to the bank faster when you're loaded with heavy items. Honestly, though, I have no idea.

I noticed this the other day on my enchanter.

There is a bug post about this.

Havent looked at it. But may be some sort of gravity setting for the zone. Not sure tho.

Luclin in development confirmed

I noticed the same thing happening to me in Droga. Weird.
