I found this from January 14, 2001 :

Droga increased by 12%
Nurga increased by 12%
Solusek's Eye (SolA) increased by 13%
Najena increased by 13%
Befallen increased by 13%
Paw increased by 13%
Permafrost increased by 13%
Kaesora increased by 18%
Qeynos Catacombs increased by 20%
Runnyeye increased by 20%
Kerra Ridge increased by 20%
The Hole increased by 25%

There's the patch. Honestly think maybe 5% of the server actually played launch 1999 on live. From March to November 1999 on Veeshan if it was peak you could count the number of people "adventuring" in SolA on one hand, tops. Look at the zones listed above.. These zones were *not* given some silly artificial ZEM boost because they were PACKED WITH PLAYERS RECEIVING THE BEST XP IN NORRATH PER KILL.

They were artificially boosted in later patches to get people the heck out of Guk, Cazic, and SolB and into the other *underutilized* zones. You'll notice no boost for Cazic, Solb, Guk, Seb, Karnors, Chardok, or (lol) Dreadlands... Because that's where people *actually* were. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
