Vacant Zones

Speaking of Unrest, aren't a lot of things there immune to non-magical weapons? Haha that should be interesting for a while....

One of my favorite things on a new server is seeing all the single race groups in the newbie zones. A 6-man all barbarian group pulling mammoth calfs is fun to see. Or groups of Ogres and Trolls camping the lizards.

Everfrost being full of barbarians is an image I have tried to not forget since 1999 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Its like the coolest.

Mortal men and woman.

Dressed in fur and bone.

Felling Giant beasts!

The frozen tundras.

Incredible.

I know you are very "give us the ZEMs" or "use ZEMs we know" loramin, but it just doesn't seem like it's for the best for the game. Already, without knowing the ZEMs, on blue there is usually only 1 dungeon people will do per level range, and not due to lack of population (30 people in upper guk or mistmoore is a bit much). I think a rotating / or new, unknown ZEM that encourages people to spread out and try new dungeons would be a lot of fun, and really give a more classic feel(which the devs want), since people in 1999-2000 did not know which zones were best and did not try to min-max so hard, as you seem to be in favor of

The point is, it's not about "what's best for the game". What would be best for the game would be for the mob that gives OT Hammers to be immune to puppet strings ... but P99 doesn't do that.

In virtually every other decision made, P99 sticks to what's classic, not what's best for the game. And no matter what ZEMs get set, players are going to swarm to perceived high ZEM zones.

All that using well known/classic ZEMs would do is at least let players swarm in a slightly smarter and more classic way to the popular zones.

It feels to me that the wiki ZEMs are fairly close to what is actually in game. So that is technically classic isn't it?

I would love to see rotating ZEMs but that didn't happen until Luclin era or was it even later?

[Vexenu]

People will be spreading out in Classic by sheer necessity, no ZEM adjustment needed. You will see groups in Permafrost, CT, Najena, Splitpaw, etc... It will be glorious.

The Qeynos Aquaducts is one of my favorite zones. I don't know if ill be down there though but since I was Rallos Zek qeynos murderer I learned the ins and outs. Delicious cubes to kill.
