Sounds about right. Also obviously not everyone followed this path. To the other poster I'm just saying, pretty much everyone did who is already 40+. True classic EQ was a real struggle to make 50. There was no exp treadmill and it had nothing to do with "not knowing the spots."

The evidence is all there. It's sad to see how many people will hit 50 and bring alts along within a couple months of release due to this unclassic ZEM. I'm already 50 with 2 alts above 20. Game is more fun when the server is overcrowded and painfully slow. Classic. I'd really rather not be progressing this fast but I am a min/maxer so I will. I'd just prefer to min/max in a more classic environment and classic pace but whatever glitches are going to be left in I'll abuse while advocating for their removal.
I tried HHK but it was a fucking mess. I'll be 50 in a few days and did not touch that zone besides killing 1 guard. The nobles are camped to shit, the guards are so contested it's a nightmare. Depends on your class of course but I have not touched HHK 40+ and I don't really play that many hours and I'm almost 50, sure took me a month but did not play out of my mind too much. HHK is the best ZEM and XP if you can get the camps but getting the camps can be a freaking bottomless pit. I am sure there are some people who would wait 4-5 hours for nobles instead of getting 3-4y in those 4-5 hours in another camp and get their 3-4y in 2 hours instead at nobles, I just am not one to sit and wait for the camp.
