About soloers:

The existing rules for eq are based on parties. True, a player of Glaurung's
power can solo some of the easier eq monsters, but that's about it. He
probably wouldn't want the eq for anything other than sacrificing or sales
channel either.

This is because almost every area in the game is party friendly. Sine, for
example, Smokey the Bear can be reached by a party of 9, we more or less have
to assume he will be. That's why Onog sucks, unless you're level 20 or so.

THe alternative is to have areas specifically made for solo work. Such are
very, very rare. Sewer ring is just about it. And the sewer ring is much
better than eq a party of the same level would get from the same amount of
effort. So why don't we make more solo areas? Well...we could, but the idea is
problematic. If I were to, say, make a copy of newbie mines that allowed only
one player at a time, but had usable lvl 20-30 eq in it, it would have a
constant line to get in. FIghts might start to get in next. It would feel
like a bit of a waste in a MUD (what does the M stand for?) to make an area
only one person could use.

Now, maybe later, someone will make a copy of newbie mines with eq for solo in
such a way that more than one person could use it at a time -- multiple
copies, for example. I didn't say that, I deny everything, who are you people?
