Blessed zones

I'm not currently playing sod but I think the zone hot spots is a great way to condense some of the player base to make zones more populated. I have a few suggestions.

1. Make sure you get a higher tier zone a mid tier zone and a low tier zone so you don't have ubers plowing a lower zone.

2. Put it on MOTD if its not already and or the Server status list up,down,blessed would be good.

3. if its a random gen for those zones weight some of the lesser traveled zones so they pop up a little more often.
 
I saw the blessed zones and was excited this was implemented, a great idea. Thought I agree with Titanis here, either posted here, the server status list, or in the motd would be great. Instead of running through every zone whacking stuff and hoping. :)
Though I think he is just thinking of the lvl 65 zones (hence tiers), I would hope that low levels get some boosts too. Help drag people to paw, oasis, etc.
 
Week to 2 not scheduled. Seems tobe random thrown in with a patch here and there.

Maps in blessed zones are nice as hell.
 
Locked my HC toon at 51 when SBL was blessed. Spectres were giving ~50K XP with max New Area Bonus. Of course, that only lasted a few kills, but still.

I'd bet a map would be sweet in a blessed zone.
 
I think it should be changed to 3 indoor, 3 outdoor. At the moment it's 3 zones I could never make any use out of other than maps...however if a zone bonus popped up in say, Sirens Grotto or Red Sun Mines or somewhere not too popular it would give some 65's a chance to party hard.

I very much agree.
 
I think it would be nice to have every level range covered. So you get 6 zones that are selected from 6 pools randomly. Each pool would only have zones between levels , 11-20, 21-30, 31-40,41-50,51-60, and 61+. I would leave out levels 1-10 because those levels you get so many newbie quests to turn in, that most people wouldn't want to leave their starting zones anyway.
 
The problem with that is that 90% of the players are 65, so your devoting 80% of the blessed zones to 10% of the player base. I'm not saying there should be no blessed zones for lower players, but the majority of them should remain 65 zones (there are also just waaay more 65 exp zones in the game)
 
Current blessed zones: Oasis and Steamfont... is there anything you can actually xp on in those zones post-45 or so? Sure someone will mention the dawntribe orcs in Oasis, but you honestly can't kill them because of MQ unless you wanna sit in NWOT killing light blue orcs for days and days to repair faction. I guess this would be a good example of a bonus for a very small portion of the server (levels 1-20+) where they could PL through a bunch of lower levels. If I had any alts left to make Steamfont bonus would be great news. :)

Edit: Is Red Sun Peaks still blessed? When I last looked at the in game message it only listed 2 zones...

I'd agree, a permanent 65 xp zone in a blessed cycle would be nice, as well as a 40-50+ range zone, with a wild card zone thrown into the mix as well. Could be another 65 zone, could be a newbie yard. Would spread the bonus around. Maybe even get it to a point where if the blessed zone is getting too much use it changes to a new zone.
