Possible Idea to increase Visits/Population in Low Pop Zones

[Somos]

Hi all,

I joined the P99 community about 5-6 months now, and I've really enjoyed the journey and nostalgia from when I was a teenager.

I have noticed a disappointing trend as I've been playing with my free time. Zones that are slightly more difficult and require keys like Sebilis/Hole rarely have groups/people in them.

So, what can we do to change that? At any point, I can easily find a group in Karnor, COM, Mistmoore, HK. What about these other zones?

What if we have a Randomized increase of a modest: 5-20% ZEM that changes every 1-4 months? To incentive more exploration?

Thoughts?


Happy old man gamer and donor! Keep up the great work, Devs!

they adjusted alot of zone ZEMs like 1-2 years ago, but it was largely all lower end zones.

we don't have anything like PoStorms' 170 ZEM

seb kc chardok charasis velks are all the same 94 ZEM

so everybody pretty much just goes to KC for the ease of access and PUGs

hole is 128 and perma bear pits is boss xp at 144

More reason to look into this since this was 1-2 years ago! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Permafrost, xp is really good there for classes that can solo/duo

might be ok if you got a group too, never tried a 6 group down there

Ah got it! Thanks

I never look at exp bonus to decide where to go. I just go where I want to go, for my own enjoyment and solo if no one is there or no one wants to come with.

Would there be anything that incentives you? OR make you think "Hrmm.. I'd rather go there?"

Just enable pvp on blue and green. Problem solved.

shove your pvp back where it came from.

to the OP. it doesnt matter if s zone had high exp return, if its too annoying to get to. thats why you see the same people exping st KC snd velks. its one port plus a fee min run, but at least you can find a pick up group. run to seb, chardok, HS, and you will likely just waste hours. dont even know what other velious dungeon had a PUG sction going on...
