Are these ZEMs accurate?

I was really surprised about LoIO in particular.

after looking at that list.. that seems about right.

As a general rule:
cities = bonus.
dungeon= bonus
outdoor = no bonus or pent.

You forgot newbi zones. Hence why you get good exp in places like BB even in your 40's.

I would love to see it as well but it'll never happen. The min/max folks would do their best to make it so that only 5 or so zones were ever used. Personally I like to play where it's the most fun.

Devs are not going to release the actual ZEMs in P99 publicly; they've said this before. It would kind of ruin the game, as Zigfreed pointed out.

The irony of this is that the server is supposed to almost perfectly mimic classic, even to the point of including annoying (and in some cases nearly class breaking) patches that do nothing good but are added for the sake of being purely classic. Sometimes even in favor of actually being enjoyable.

It's interesting to see when/where dev control trumps that supposed purity, and when it doesn't. Not that I agree or disagree with it, I'm sure they do things with the best intentions in mind, just noticing these funny times that it rears its head [You must be logged in to view images.

Personally I love LOIO no matter what the ZEM is, plenty of safe spots and never ending pulls. When Kunark was released there wasn't a mob alive in FoB for weeks so the ZEM there just didn't matter as much as zone population.

i think on this server there is only an indoor bonus for zones and mobs themselves have their own bonuses like undead and giants

ZEMs are similar to live, they're just not as extreme. For example, on live Highkeep had a ridiculous exp bonus that was definitely noticeable. Here it has a small bonus but nothing like it was.

Cities have a very respectable XP bonus, it's a big reason why guard killing is (was?) so prevalent.

Interesting.
