SolB becomes a lot more popular once people start getting better geared and are able to stay ahead of respawns in spite of the higher average hp on mobs. But sadly what a lot of people have said in this thread are true. Back in classic though people didn’t really know about ZEMs and just grouped where they felt safest or could easily find groups, that’s why Aviaks, Gnoll spires, undead in Lake Rathe, Cyclopes and giant skelies in Rathe mountains, etc, were all popular spots to level back then. Only the Bravest attempted to level in dungeons because of how dangerous they were, not even realizing they were getting more xp per kill probably until around Kunark when a bit more was known about the mechanics that were going on behind the scenes.
