Zone overpopulation

[Foxplay]

News flash, ZEM does not matter if your competing for camps or don't have ample mobs to kill....

If your constantly full mana or high mana with nothing to kill... go to a different zone stop waiting for X camp, the ZEM bonus will not make up for 30minutes or hours of making crap or no exp that you would get of constant exp gain in a zone with low ZEM

While I agree some zones should have a much higher ZEM for what they are worth/challenge. In the end its not classic to change them (although it would'nt be the end of the world if they did either) But sounds like a you problem if you don't try and go to different zones

The server has been open for like two weeks and it's amazing.

I will be setting this up to play tomorrow.

Dude i never have issues. Why? Because i'm proactive as an above poster said... Well dang there is a great full group composition here sitting LFG. Guess i'm out of luck!

No, i check /who all LFG form a group and go to the Hole. Problem solved, i'm never sitting LFG for hours. Waste of time!

I never really sat LFG, only exception when I was trying to get my pipe in KC. Always made my own group.

These under utilized zones all have tricks on how to best conquer the dungeon and have great exp spots. You just need to take some time to, you know, learn the zone.

Die? Sucks, but learn from it, don't give up. Sometimes eat a death, you will be surprised how fast you make it up at mid to lower levels. Not having luck fighting at zone line? Push a little deeper and try new things. Certain mobs give you problems? How do you avoid them or learn to neutralize them (stun lock? Charm? Dispell? Slow? Fear?).

There arent always perfectly laid out camps where you sit on your ass and watch Netflix as easy warrior mobs with low hp die in rapid exp gravy train succession.

Learn a new zone, may need to depend on some other classes. Part of the fun of EQ class dependence.

Ok, so what would be a good place for a level 13 pally?

Nah, there's plenty of room and plenty of stuff to kill. Just because the population all congregates in a handful of zones doesn't mean the server needs to change, the player base needs to adapt and start spreading out.

I dont doubt that, just up the xp in those areas and people will sread out. That's my point of suggesting that.

Not true, upping the ZEM is no guarantee that people will spread out. The Hole is a perfect example. HS as well. Amazing XP modifier in the hole, very scarcely populated.
