I recently came across the usual scene in HHK. One party killing all of basement and a bunch of people sitting there, waiting on a list. There was a cleric, enchanter, and tank. How fucking dumb do you have to be to wait for an hour or two, getting 0 xp, for a spot in a good group instead of forming up with the people around you and go xp elsewhere? I ended up taking those scrubs into sol a and we had a neverending stream of goblin scum to kill. But if Sol A had been full, i assure you i could have found another xp spot and gotten there within 10 mins

forget about ZEMs you'll see a lot more of the game


I agree with you that the waiting list thing is terrible. However, the reason why this is (which was later fixed) is not because of the modifier, but more effectiveness. Velious mobs (as you know) have a LOT more HPs.

If this was ever balanced across, then you would see far more diversity.

Last year, Kedge had a massive ZEM modifier. My group and I had the zone to ourselves for 3 1/2 weeks. No one regularly dared to enter, despite the modifier. So I would say that ZEM modifiers for less traveled zone is a GREAT motivator.

I did the same with Kaesora. Beautiful zone, almost always empty.

I really enjoy trying out obscure zones on my alts. Playing in the Warren’s, gorge of king xorbb, runneye, permafrost, rathe mountains, etc has been a blast. I don’t really care about the ZEM.

I’m actually really wanting to try and level an iksar monk or SK all the way to 60 without ever leaving Kunark.

I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Kunark is the light.

Try not to worry too much about ZEM. Just kill more merbs make sure they are blue... If ya don't like the exp after a few hours then try a different spot / zone

wish more ppl did better about forming groups and crawling through some of the empty beautiful obscure zones. its just down syndrome afk hellen keller-esc pickup group slogfest atm

alot of fun and variety to be had. wish the "zem" or whatever the fuck else would rotate or there was some other influence or initiative to move around norrath.

you only get to level up on your toon once, so choosing the path and the company is sacred and very important. frown when ppl recommend the typical leveling path, and i hate that its a thing

Contact a necromancer they can help you level up the same toon multiple times and make a profit doing so [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
