I'm not saying I was drinking one evening and sent my 54 Leezard Monk into SolA on a CR for my 33(?) Dwarf Paladin -- who died heroically fighting off literally hundreds... nay, thousands!... of weedy goblins... at the same time... with one hand tied behind his back... up hill... both ways... And fell into the lava. I kind of panicked when I couldn't figure out how to swim out. I didn't know I could zone into SolB and just accepted death and bought a rez.
Interestingly enough, while running back to SolA with my aforementioned Paladin, I "discovered" that there were Shadow Men in Lavastorm. (That's information you need to know!) So, after getting my second Paladin corpse back, I was able to get a 3-for-1 rez from a very helpful cleric who was undoubtedly laughing his ass off at my drunken, expletive-filled, tells.
Ah... EverQuest... Good times...
That being said, SolA is a really fun zone! There's no shortage of mobs to kill and the ZEM is pretty amazing. It can be difficult to get a group at times as it's off the beaten path. That would be my only complaint. So, bring your own group. (BYOG?)
My 32 Ogre Shadowknight Deathskull is hanging around the halls of SolA right now. I'll be at AdeptiCon in Chicago this weekend, but send him a tell if you see him wandering around, drooling on himself. He loves eating -- I mean grouping. Grouping! -- with the smaller races.
