You don't have to suspect, it says as much in the wiki (
https://wiki.project1999.com/Zem):

IMPORTANT NOTE: These Numbers Are Inaccurate
The values on this page are based on the classic/EQ Emulator values, modified by the announced ZEM changes over time. This means that they are almost entirely speculative, and the only person who can provide accurate ZEM data has stated that:

In short, no one knows the real ZEMs but the devs, because P99 modified the live/EQ Emulator ZEMs to make them more classic (or at least "classically mysterious"). We
could represent that on the wiki by not publishing any ZEMs at all.
But, we do know the live/EQ Emu ZEMs, and presumably P99's ZEMs aren't
that different. The staff might have changed some zones a lot (see the unclassic Hole ZEM we had not too long ago), but in general most zones probably have close to the same, if not the same, ZEM that they did on live.
So, the wiki shows those ZEMs as "better than nothing" numbers. But you are completely correct that they are innacurate.
