People go, but it's a bring your own group place. It was like that on some servers in live.

Excellent zone, but you don't want to be there when it is crowded. Numerous pathing quirks, tight corridors, running mobs, and deadly casters make it one of the trainiest places on Norrath when inexperienced folks try to move through. And because of the pathing quirks, there aren't many places that are 100% safe from trains, because shit will sometimes run big loops around the zone.

Play smart. Be careful. Collect bricks. $$$

Love SolA, Ephirith's post is accurate. Great XP, great loot (Bricks sell for 10-50pp each and a nearby vendor makes it a great place. You can carefully duo there starting at like 25, probably, and level into the early 40's if you want to kill gnomes.

Bring a good group as you won't find much pick up action in Sol A.

Bring someone who knows the zone well.

Bring someone who knows how to pull well as pathing can easily mean a train and death. I would suggest a good monk.

Even before Kunark came out and solB was a grouping hotspot, solA rarely if ever saw action. Don't think I ever grouped there nor saw any pick up groups other than the occasional premade group hanging out there alone.

Sol A and Sol B are both good zones to die in with all the Casters. They seem to have a LOT more mana than I remember on live. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This was fixed last patch.
Casters get off like 4-5 spells now instead of the 15 or so they used to before.
It's great.
