What are the very high traffic areas antisocial people should avoid?

Yeah if I was on green, I would probably go to OT>LOIO>FM>OT>DL and get 40 ish that way. I don't remember the last time I was in Sebilis, except to 'get an item or diamonds or to help someone, or something'.

People who play in KC or the hole now adays typically want to ninja samurai thru the zone directly to t-staff camp stuff and that's about it, I get frustrated with that level of play so just avoid groups there. Why not move off to the left and just grind gently for a level in two-days? IDK. It is what it is.

EQ players and gamers are way more competitive now than they use to be and they got their eyes on those big mobs and rare legacy stuff that used to be only whispered in hush tones about.

I wouldn't be surprised if the next bout of timeline progression has old world ZEM nerfed. I was originally going to post that they would boost the kunark EXP but I think they will just make old world more comparable to kunark. AKA bad.

I don't think guards are supposed to be EXP mobs TBH I would nerf the shit out of them. Plus as a halfling my people have endured much slaughter in this fashion.

I remember the first time I saw someone killing the dwarf fisherman community near kaladim. Just didn't feel right.

Guards have always been experience and cash mobs. I did Corrupt Qeynos and Neriak guards on my Bard in Classic and Freeport guards on my Iksar Monk in Kunark. It even fits for roleplay reasons, such as an elf or dwarf raiding Oggok or a dark elf raiding Felwithe. Who else are you going to hunt there? Not merchants and guild masters. I can say I've also done it for roleplay reasons as well.

Praise Amun!

I don't understand why people chase ZEMs, plat, or loots. I guess if you are absolutely new to the game and want 1 main character at max level to help out your actual character, beyond that IDK??? And haven't done all the 'cool stuff before'.

My favorite spots were always very inneficient or odd little corners, and they had the most colorful npcs float thru. Little spots the designers built, that I could enjoy. Not for maximal exp game, but because it was their little sandbox I got to share in.

I am wondering what people recommend for those in Kunark? I am more familiar with the old world for the most part.

For me, it comes down to simply not being able to enjoy myself if I know I'm being wildly inefficient. I don't have infinite time, so even if I'm in a cool spot, all I can think about is "I'd be getting over double the exp if I was in Cazic Thule." That basically ruins super low ZEM zones for me.

I can manage old world outdoor zones and cities (100 vs 150) but I just can't stomach something like LoIO (60).

I wouldn't mind if they turned up exp on green/blue/red (its' already wicked fast in grps on red) it makes the servers top heavy tho, and ppl solo more.

But I'm all for Ez99 with like the normal classic game and not some cheeze gm commands and stuff so it feels a litte bit like i'm playing seriously. - for me wouldn't mind if they let people boost to 40 on red99
