Any suggestions? That zone does seem to host a large % of the idiot population of EQ...

Any zone that offers good exp with little effort will attract people. And the more people there are the more idiots there will be among them.
I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

Just wait until you are high enough for KC

Most of the trains in there are the same exact train over and over again because people don't seem to know they have to wait for the things to return before going back to their camps.

Besides staying out of LIO?

The beach area just outside the walls in OT was comparable in exp and loot to LIO in the high teens and low twenties.

I solo'ed from 20-25 in OT, outside the WW zone, to the Mudhole(Which has a vendor, so YIPEE)

At 25 I went to the goblin caves, and solo to (where I am now) 28. I got 26 in one night, and the next day, 27. 2 days later, 28. About that time, I took a break and went to Velious, boy am I sorry I did that

I'm heading back to the gob caves til I hit 30, then I'm probably going to FM.



Time was never on my side.
So on I wait my whole lifetime.

I spend my hours in MM. It is such a .... it has few idiots, (they all died and we back the orc camps) and ... well.. I think it just a fun zone to hunt in... such a risk of dieing...

For some reason i shun all Kunark zones but Sebilis...too many newbies. After the upgrade to some zones' ZEM, the old world is generally far better xp for the effort. The idiots hang in LoIO because its decent xp and there are lots of mobs. The old school people went back to South Karana. If i were you, i would go there.

Lake of Ill Omen reminds me a lot of Oasis. Burning Woods is also similar. Folks go where they can get easy exp. All of these places (Oasis, Lake of Ill Omen, Overthere, and Burning Woods) offer exp with little to no risk. I would say if you don't like it go to a dungeon, but unfortunately, most low to mid level dungeon on Quellious are empty other than farmers.

not on Test it doesn't

i'm lvl 24 and i useually go into Splitpaw with groups of 30-35. EXP isn't the best but on Test the people 30-35 tend to be overall smarter due to the fact that idiots give up on Test before then

we get one occasionally. it's humerous actually how fast he/she gets laughed at and ostracized.

actually, other than twinks most of the n00bs there ARE n00bs so it's actually cool helping one

Ive noticed that every water/lake zone is full of idiots.

Lake Rathe - IDIOT CENTRAL
OOT - IDIOT CENTRAL
Oasis - GRAND IDIOT CENTRAL DELUXE VERSION 5.4

I never played either of the expansions, so I can't really judge those zones.

Teehee.

Techinally speaking, a zoo is where the animals are locked up in cages where they can't hurt anyone.

The idiots in LoIO and Oasis roam free... you can't really call them idiot zoos, more like, "idiot refuges"...

BTW, Runnyeye = uber exp for it's level. I got a full blue bub for soloing a blue sporali defender.
