I would agree with Paaco. Having so many zones with random loot is a big job to maintain and keep balanced. I would try one zone and get it perfectly balanced, then apply the info to other zones. Start simple.

Regarding my random loot program, I would HAND sort an item list to feed to the program, then distribute the list thru the zone.

Query for all level 40-50 items, sort by hand, then modify stats if needed (I have a bulk stat mod tool for this as well), then feed it to the random loot program.

I would try it out, then see what the interest is.

Following on Paaco's idea, make it more interesting with perl scripts. Make npc's wander around with perl and do interesting things. Give out quests etc..


Have fun
