From the latest patch notes:

I do like the multiple redundancies for level ranges though; I don't recall them doing that much in the past.

Looks ok except for Zhisza, should get xp just for running out there and the mobs are merciless.
Last time I took my 75 (poorly geared) cleric and his mercenary tank to Zhisza we were ripped a new one by a yellow-con shissar patroller, didn't stand a chance.
I think I'll bring along the 68 mage bot next time, the pet makes a huge difference.

Vergalid is nice for when my ranger wants to farm aa's for the lowbies via headshot, I think the goblins are immune as well as the stuff (golems etc) beyond the locked door.
Drakkins and orcs drop nicely.

What would you want for hotzones?

I'd like to see Jaggedpine as a hotzone, just for old time's sake.
