The current hotzones for EverQuest (EQ) are:- Level 20 North/South Ro (boring!)
- Level 25 Solusek's Eye (can be frantic - good for PLing)
- Level 30 Blightfire Moors (dull but OK exp)
- Level 35 Stone Hive (one of the nicer new EverQuest zones - worth a visit)
- Level 40 Dulak's Harbor (awesome zone!)
- Level 45 Skyshrine (can be messy)
- Level 50 Akheva Ruins (a little boring after a while - high HP mobs and traps)
- Level 55 Crypt of Nadox (great zone, very under-rated)
- Level 60 Riwwi, Coliseum of Games (GoD zone....bleh)
- Level 65 Torden, Bastion of Thunder (old skool EQ)
- Level 70 Ruins of Illsalin (hard mobs, hard pulls, great exp - need a well rounded group)
EQ hot zones offer a 25% experience boost and also all mobs have a chance of
dropping different augments (lore, unique for each zone and appropriate for the level).
You'll find that these hot zones can be quite busy so it's usually easy to grab a group (unlike many other older zones in EverQuest!

).
I'll try to keep the EQ hot zones list up to date.
