The zone is excellent. The scripts are very well done, falling into an appropriate challenge level to be not easy but not a pain in the Dukakis, either. AND: It's a candyland, similar to how VT was when Luclin dropped on EQ way back in the day. 3 stars, will run again. -2 stars because I got chlamydia from a lycanthrope while I was in there and it burns when I pee now. Gotta go find a druid or something.
Done the solo zone, was fun even if 4th named was a pain in the ***, but is solo zone it for casual players? No real quests or god forbid overseer stuff?
I think the solo zone works for casual players after you get a few carries through it. But if you try to bounce in there with Tishan's Lockbox gear you're gonna get fubar.
