Let me know when/if these go live, and I'll add it to our everquest guide.

LOL crazy that looks almost just like my leveling areas when I first leveled my main up LOL

 

[mroutlaw]

id say steer clear of the grounds for sure now and I guess that means rangers headshotting days in the ferrott are finally coming to a close ....

 

[Maskoi]

YA grounds is a major bot zone and has been watched forever when it goes hot zone i would stay clear,

 

[beastdaddy]

Old Bloodfields looks like a nice new PL zone now.

 

[Abyss]

Why is plane of air a hotzone?? Zone in = all see invis mobs, 1 mob splits into 3, ring events with raid bosses... Worst choice for a hotzone ever... Maybe to a lvl 90 this zone is easy, but at lvl 65 its hard as hell.

 

[Maskoi]

I remember dying just zoning in there all the time back in the day too the aggro was fucking stupid .

 

[Akatora]

everquest isnt meant to be easy LOL, with the gear available at lower levels now, it shouldnt be that hard..

most items around lvl 65 are 200+ hp, hell back in that era the max hp items from the raids in potime were 195 or 185, so basically you can gear up in gear better than the max content for that level before you even enter the zone :P


edit

sorry, 220hp was for quarm loot

 

[Oadno]

kind of like when they made Kod'Taz a HotZone

Is Headshot/assassinate working on the alarans in Valley?

 

[beastdaddy]

I counted 25 ish Decappable mobs in Valley ie 88 or under. So while some are most are not.
