I'm not sure what year you started playing on sonys EQ servers but every zone was being explored in classic. Especially Paw, that zone stayed permanently camped lol. The change would've been even better if they took out ZEM completely ,imagin that [You must be logged in to view images.

No it wasn't. It was revamped specifically because no one was there. And no one went there after the revamp either. There were specific patch notes from Brad bemoaning how it was a low level dungeon far away from city or binds or merchants and how they were trying to increase the population.

That's not material anyway. My point was that there were frequent pronouncements from the staff that they were going to keep it Classic (tm) by hook and by crook and there was even some quote like I don't care if everyone quits I'm keeping this classic.

With this ZEM change that rationale is now dead and buried. I'm not saying I agree or disagree with the changes itself, just that it's time to stop using "but muh classic" as an excuse for anything going forward.
