About to get ready to go so this will be brief and to the point. I am not against Hot Zones but I do not feel they are not needed. If New Players decide on a popular leveling path then groups will not be so hard to find. I am going to offer my suggested plan, you can take it or leave it but if you all cooperate and follow it groups will be hard (as well as PLing by me)

1-12 - Newb Areas/Crushbone
12-30 - Unrest
25-40 - MM
40+ - Sol B

At 40+ you really need to think about joining a guild if you haven't already. So by 47 you should be in a guild and from there they will take care of you. Follow the path and reap the rewards or everyone do there own thing and solo it up [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] And I will be PLing at these locations only. Have a great day and welcome to red.

EDIT: When I am on, yes I will port/bind you near these locations.

I thought about this too, but it's pointless unless this gets stickied and universally agreed upon + not as effective without some bonus kicked in and the communication coming from the staff (and maybe in the MOTD).

So I don't think this is going to work even as a ghetto/lite version.

I also think most of your zones are very difficult to get to for some races.

1-15 isn't an issue. People will blaze through those levels and not venture too far from the starting city.

15-50 needs one zone. One. People are going to want to be in Kunark by 40+, not old world. There's good reason I suggested Lake of Ill Omen for this.

^pretty accurate

[SamwiseBanned]

these zones are easy to get to with a quick port and bind in gfay. with global ooc not hard to get a port. been buffing in FoB the last 20 min, 3 iksar monks 1-10 and still going

[SamwiseBanned]

I can assure you more people will travel to unrest than LoIO

[SearyxTZ]

No, they won't. Evil races and Iksar can't even get there, much less train or shop/bank anywhere on the entire continent. Not everyone is getting ported and powerleveled by a druid.

It would make more sense to choose Kunark zones considering 80% of the population will be there at higher levels already. Moving to Lake or Overthere around level 15 was always the leveling route on the servers I played on.

I'll take you up on this again Sam. Grab your 5 hour energy though..17 Troll SK chillin in Unrest inc

The point of hot zones isn't so bluebies can gather to slay for exp. It is to force people into the same zone so pvp occurs.

Someone seems to understand!

Make Kedge a hotzone and see how populated it gets. If i was brand new to server and LoIO was a hotzone, i would not go simply because of travel. Some people wouldnt even leave antonica to goto Faydark simply because of travel and you expect them to go to Kunark. the leveling path i posted works, have faith in samwise and you shall be rewarded with groupage and xp.
