New hot zones for EverQuest

As expected, SOE has made a whole new set of hot zones for nearly all levels. There are some old favorites, and a couple of new ones in the list. Hot zones give a substantial bonus to combat experience, and usually have some unique drops as well to encourage people to come to the zone.
20 — Lake of Ill Omen — great zone full of solo and group content
25 — Feerrott — The area outside the Temple of Cazic-Thule is particularly good
30 — Frontier Mountains — even without the hot zone experience, the Mountain Giant Fort is great xp. With it, even better.
35 — Tower of Frozen Shadow — an old favorite.
40 — Lower Guk — a great place for a group that doesn’t mind pulls of five to ten frogs at a time.
45 — Wakening Lands — the thick trees make this less than ideal, but the armor camps have easy pulls and decent loot.
50 — Old Sebilis — one of EQ’s most popular and largest dungeons.
55 — Blackfeather Roost — Not my favorite zone, and having to do quests to go to each island makes this hard to navigate.
60 — Plane of Storms — spent DAYS here working on Bastion of Thunder keys, a fun zone with many different things to see and monsters to kill.
65 — Sunderock Springs — wonderful quest zone.
70 — Riftseeker’s Sanctum — great place to bring a group, find a good spot and just pull to the pleasing sound of dings.

Oh man Lake of Ill Omen back to a hot zone, how I miss those days outside the Windmill and Sarnak Fort, good stuff!

So when do these go into effect and does that change Nostalgia’s plans for this week?

They are in effect now and we’ve changed Friday to Plane of Storms 🙂 I like PoS way better than Riwwi anyway.

Just curious — if the guild is all about nostalgia, why head to a hot zone to accelerate the progress?

Just hurrying to 60, where we will stop for a few months while we go through Kunark, Velious and Luclin.

HA I wish we could go back to wearing All All Jboots, All All DE masks and Rubicite breastplates, and this guy misses those days? *shakes head*
(Rubicite Breastplate stopped dropping when Kunark came out, FYI)
