Leaving the "regular" exp zones ZEM the same and increasing unused zones ZEM wouldn't be optimal. It's not like leveling on p99 is hard. It's 2017. People know the game. People know how to level fast.
As it is, Befallen's ZEM is already highest in game, and yet nobody goes there, bar a few PL'd twinks. Same for Kedge, you name it. Simply put, 150% or even 200% more exp per kill isn't enough for people to bother going to these zones because of so many factors: - penalty of death, tough CR's - can't SoW - no binds nearby - tough zones with lots of casters and/or mob density That's why it must be at least 3x or even 4x or 5x better exp in these zones. Then people will come. Since increasing unsused zones' ZEM by 400% or 500% isn't going to happen - EQ dev's don't want people to level faster - and rightly so, I suggest to reduce the overused zones' ZEM by that much. Seems like a logical approach to me. I've been running around Dalnir today. Obviously, I was alone in the zone. It's an awesome, complex, challenging zone, yet nobody goes there ever. This has to change. MAKE LEVELING GREAT AGAIN | ||

I was just in befallen last week before I went red and I met a few good people, all first toons non-twinked trying their best..but kedge and dalnir IS empty haha.. Are you proposing taking the slice of pie of some unused ZEM's like befallen and moving them around?

No, set CB, Unrest, MM, CoM, KC ZEM to 20%.
Watch people learn "new" zones and enjoy EQ like back in 1999. | ||

Also, the exp train zones, CB, unrest, mistmoore, CoM, KC. All have worse or equal Zems with the other zones you listed. The only thing stopping people from getting better exp in these other zones is the fact that they aren't going to them. That's a choice they are making. Their is already the incentive of exp. Nothing needs to change. | |||

Only need support from Nilbog/Rogean. There's evidence if them being quite supportive of not letting exping become too trivial - cf. chardok, bard AE.
You think what, people will go like "oh noes I can't level my 15th twink in MM in a week, imma go play another game" ? Everyone will still play because everyone is addicted to the bone. Also it isn't about having fewer places to level, quite the contrary - it is about making more places attractive. | ||

Zones that need fixed Zem are the kunark zones that were popular on live but have terrible Zem here. Frontier mountains loio
Maybe dreadlands. Otherwise the faydwer zones are popular because they are cool zones. | ||

Argument could made for any zone. Rotation only viable option.

Permakilling ZEM on certain zones isn't the answer. If people like that zone, they should be able to level there fairly well. A certain other server rotates ZEM bonuses between sets of zones and it's a rather nice idea.

Those zones you posted as most popular are so because they make it easy to level in. take away the Zem or just normalize it and people WILL STILL go their. They will go to what is most comfortable and safe for them.
The zem helps but people on this server as a whole will not take risk. Zone has to many casters cazic , run eye, etc etc NO WAY to hard. They want non caster mobs that can be pulled easily and consistently. BUT HEY the devs want ti the way it is in regard to ZEM right! otherwise they could have changed it years ago 8). Meanwhile those of who enjoy other dungeons either bring our own group or quickly out level it then go explore 8).
