I personally don't even look at ZEM. For me it's about exploring. Also, all of these zones have items that drop. It's fun to see what drops and what you can sell. If you want to enjoy yourself, don't go to the same place all the time to get the best zem. Some things are best left alone. And some of the places that don't have high zem have quests attached to them. Designers kept all of this in mind when they made zones. It's about balance.
There should be a club here named NoZeming or something. I'd join it. I'm a NoZemer. After all, this is a roleplaying game. You're supposed to play your character, adventure, do quests, not analyze webpages or walk-throughs! Roleplaying games are not fun if you're cheating all the time. When I load up morrowind or oblivion, I don't look at a website to find out where things drop. I just go there and find out. It's fun. MMORPGs have confused this. They've made cheating mainstream, almost acceptable. Why do we play our MMORPGs so differently? I've used web-pages like allahkazam in live eq, but now I'm beginning to question the consequences.
I've been playing here at p99 for a while. Not once have i looked at a web page. I try to ignore /ooc and /auction, but sometimes i click item links. I've stuck myself to one particular area and don't go running off to gfay or freeport like i see some people do. I have several low level alts, and i've even deleted several alts in a dare, and I'm still having a blast of a time playing. We don't need walk-throughs. You just need restraint. As a result of all this, I plan on making some craftsmen and selling goods to these far out places so people don't feel the need to run off to gfay or freeport to buy items. Erudin is a place that really needs some activity.
