I see from the board that many of you are upset that the undead spawns in Kithicor were
stopped. I'd like to make the following points:
1. Kithicor is, at one and the same time, a newbie zone AND a zone that you MUST
travel through in order to get from the four eastern cities to RV, and that you would
much prefer to use to get from RV to High Keep. Note that the alternate route to
HK/Qeynos/Halas from RV takes you through Runnyeye and Beholder, hardly safe zones
below level 20 or so, and takes a LOT longer to HK.
2. The fact that these spawn only appeared at night is not a help. In order to
traverse the zone safely, this would require you to wait until dawn each time you
wanted to get through the zone (unless you were sufficiently high level that it didn't
matter, see point 3). If you thought waiting for the boat was irritating... This is
NOT a good use of playing time. Plus, although the spawn did not appear during the
daytime, I am not convinced that they actually evaporated at dawn.
3. I travelled through Kithicor the other night at the tail end of the event. Even
with sixty people actively hunting, I blundered into 3 spawn points between WC and RV,
and 2 points between RV and HP. Luckily, three of them had not yet "dropped" from the
sky, and the other two I was able to put on the brakes for (barely), but I note the
following: 1) two of these points were so close to the zone wall that even the "edge
of zone" travel method would not have worked, and 2) the one MOB that engaged me killed
me (a level THIRTY ONE Bard) in three casts.
I would love to see a high level outdoor zone, myself, but it should not replace a
newbie zone, and it should certainly not be placed in a zone critical for low- to
mid-level travel.
