Solo'ing feels utterly fruitless on TLP, even if you are the most solo-friendly class like Necro it feels like you are absolutely gimping yourself by solo'ing. Mana regen is faster because combat is faster.
This was on Aradune the week Kunark dropped. Within a week the market was flooded with pre nerf fungi staffs because of seblis zone instancing, and TLP servers don't remove limited content very quickly. It is up for weeks instead of the classic timeline of one week. I bought a pre nerf fungi staff for like 2 krono.

I do agree the faster mana regen makes combat faster, which is probably why you are oom more often. But faster combat means faster leveling, which is another thing that makes TLP easier. Honestly even at level 37 on TLP I don't bother with resing because it is pretty quick to just make up the xp due to the fungi staff regen and faster mana regen/clarity pots.

I don't even know what expansion they are on now. I think last I logged in was before SoL release a few months ago.

I enjoyed the counterstrique quest.

I was soloing yellow nameds in kerra as a ranger at 22 it was super fun.

On live I was that level casting arch of arrows for like 20k damage on sitting casters on zek but I dont remember it being this easy I think that's because I went to seal training camp here though.

IDK about all that, it's really hard to compare this to P99

On P99 Green during classic to get through level 45 you got a case of beer and spent 30 hours at Kobold Royals waiting 20 minutes at a time for more mobs to spawn. On TLP at level 45 you sit at BNB, pull all of Kobold Royals, clear all of BNB, and start pulling Imps and Fire Giants. All at once. This is the actual standard. I find myself constantly OOM and hoping no one notices that I let Resist Magic run off the tank and that he might get stunned by a Sonic bat and wipe. I just don't have the mana to re-buff, but if we stop to med we may lose a mob to a competing group.

Is this easier? IMHO no. Not even close. Me and my tanks regularly die. I don't think I've ever died at Kobold Royals son P99.

Now you could make the argument that you can just buy Krono, and that is true, but again, there are two types of players in this world. People who buy Krono, and those of us who do not need to. I did the math on it this morning and realized I'm making about as much money playing EverQuest as I make crypto mining.
