That would depend entirely on the distances involved (time really),
and the likelihood of finding the area at full capacity upon
arrival.

That paradigm also encourages the mentality that its not worth
logging on unless you have several hours free. Thats one of my
peeves with EQ, unless I have about 5 hours free, its simply not
worth logging on with my high level character.
