Alright. Instead of going to Ghettozone at level 1, I'll start at the mines. Then Yolanda. Then Crypt or Elven. Then I'll go to den around level 30 until I get to 50. From there I'll go to Minos until 75 or so at which time I'll be leveled enough to go to Uber or Ghettozone.
Or...I can stay in ghettozone. Ghettozone is about as 'out of the way' as I can get and level normally. I've suggested a second ghettozone-type zone be added for Gods, but Corona has not decided that that is needed (or is unable to add it through Ghettobot).
So, what should I do? Oh Hi *insert random lowbie's name here*, you need Ghettozone? Sure no problem, I'll just go sit in Jaten until you're done. Can't go to Uber, couple more low RLs in there. No point to leveling in Cent or Demonzone, takes too long to kill the mobs for it to be worth any time at all.
Should I max out? Sit up at the mining spike afk 24/7 like a few of the other Gods do? My opinion on maxing out isn't secret. I don't do it. It's boring.
It's not like I just joined the server and got some god character that I can sit around and steal exp with. I worked through the zones (and through gods afking in them) just as much as anyone. And it was worse, they didn't have a Ghettozone. I leveled with the gods through den, minos, and uber.
And as a note to funger's original post, stand on their heads when they're in the back of Ghettozone. The only damage you'll take is from mages and you can just run to the back tunnel and be safe from them.
