You know what kind of madhouse CT is about to become?

the kind that it was in classic? That place was always packed to the gills, even after rubi stopped dropping [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Wow this is pretty cool guys. Well done.

Not 100% authentic but I like it. Should make people spread out. This is more like what ZEMs should have been.

BTW good job increasing all the newbie zone ZEMs to account for the level 1-6 ZEM bonus on old Live. Just noticed that.

Hhk killing guards and nobles for 40+ just ended lol wonder where new hot zone is.

[Annona]

Is it just me or is druid tracking able to see more? Same spot I am always camping at and usual mobs are further down list.

OOOOOO best patch in the last 10 years.

Time for people to stop pretending like 1000 people is too much for classic everquest.

Since I (the original author of that guide) don't play anymore I don't have the "fire in my belly" required to update the wiki with the new ZEMs.

However, the guide doesn't have my (or anyone else's) name on it for a reason: it's a community resource. I heartily encourage active players to fix it and the rest of the wiki because ... it's a wiki [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I didn't catch this on first read:



Should be interesting to see how the crowds spread out now.

Looks like they made most of the outdoor zones 100% (as should be), and dungeons around 150% in most cases. They also seem to be treating Xorrb as a dungeon.

The wiki update seems wrong tho, at least for HK. The notes say that HK is reduced by 25%. But, is that a reduction from 200 to 175, or a reduction from 200 to 150, to match other dungeons?

Part of what makes EQ unique is the mystery surrounding many server-side mechanics. Exact ZEM values are an example.
