Lavastorm needs some loving

Tbf I don't understand how/why they come up with the ZEM changes they do. Or even when, why decrease ZEMS across the board two months ago after so many have leveled? Seems like a great way to punish newer players.

Anyway the ZEM differences of zones seems to be getting less and less different so people are just going to find the laziest/easiest zones to escape if things get hairy if there's no risk vs reward.

I think both Lavastorm and Dragnor's Cayldron ZEMS should be through the roof

Looking at the outdoor zones for ZEM, I dont see any with a bonus ZEM. I see many Kunark outdoor zones with negative ZEM(Which is total BS), even though I remember those places were great XP places.

I think the devs here feel the risk v reward is for dungeons. Things can go wrong in a heartbeat a whole lot quicker in a dungeon than an outdoor zone, for the most part.

Kunark EXP was dog shit on live, it was only a good leveling spot because a lot of people were leveling up and only in kunark could you just plop a group down in the middle of a gigantic zone and start pulling to your group.

It was like camp fires at a beach the first groups were in easier closer to zone line spots and other groups got further away to have pulls to themselves and stuff.

But the EXP was terrible it was just the constant churn that made it overall OK but still basically worse than any old world zone but those only supported 2 or so groups at a time.

That's true I seem to have memories of living in loio for what felt like several years on live

I also remember spending a lot of levels in loio on live, was very popular

Because on live mostly people went where convenience and safety dictated. LOIO is a relatively safe zone with lots of mobs and it’s right next to FV for melees. In modern day, people min/max exp and so they’re not really interested in staying near bind points etc to a certain extent. Especially since loio apparently has a lower ZEM on p99 than other zones

lavastorm sucks ass

[starkind]

P99 needs an ez server that ends in luclin where soloing on a caster to 60 with 1000 aas only takes about two weeks. Or 80 hrs played tops.

60hrs would be more sane and reasonable.

Loio has a bunch of cool items if you are a new player on a new server where no one knows how to play and you have no better than store bought leather and a store bought longsword.

XP modifier for lavastorm please

When Green/Teal was fresh my shammy got some of his upper teens soloing at the Najena entrance in lavastorm. Exp there wasn't exactly exciting, but it was steady and safe. And occasionally you could jump in on a group actually IN Najena.
