Heh heh, except that on most servers there were 150+ people in Kithicor at
the time. Of course that still wasn't enough to prevent many deaths. I
agree that high level players desperately need an outdoor zone where they
can adventure and gain xp and items and have fun. If its Kithicor that's
cool, a pain in the butt to travel thru but that's life. Why there are no
high level outdoor zones I cannot say. A high level zone with non-PoF high
level mobs with big agro radii would be interesting. Dangerous, and o' lord
the trains, but interesting.

The thing is the though the high levels need a good fun area to hunt that
isn't way overcrowded. I was on my necro the other day doing a quest and in
Unrest the zone had only 19 people in it during prime time. Then CT is just
as empty to. Then you go and look at Lower Guk and Sol B and see it pakced
with 50+ people in it. Thanks to the new kith zone and PoH the high levels
are finnally starting to spreadout. It's a lot better that it's a high level
zone then a low level zone.
