I am also a resident of Solusek Ro. Indeed, Cazic is "The Place" for
experience and cash from about level 30-39. However, this means that it
has become insanely crowded as the hump in the population curve hit those
levels. The courtyard usually has at least 3 groups camping; the throne
room generally 2-3 groups (since pickings get thin with more than 2, one
group will usually get fed up and leave after a while when there are more
than that). The gator tank closest to the zone usually has a group camped
at it. The cave down underneath that tank sometimes does (it's a less
popular spot because it's difficult to zone from). The room next to the
Avatar's spawn point is often-but-not-always camped, but I expect it to
move to the almost always camped stage within another week or so.
(Currently it's still in the upper edge of the population curve.) Word of
the hidden temple in the maze has been spreading, so it's starting to
become another popular camping site (though not as popular as the others
simply because it's not as easily reached and doesn't have the convenient
zone access...however, it has the advantage of freedom from other groups
trains).
The long and short of it is, the special items from Cazic are becoming a
lot more difficult to pick up for yourself.
The highest level dungeons (Nagafen's Lair, Lower Guk, and deep Mistmoore)
are just beginning to feel the population surge. (I don't know about the
ice giant parts of Permafrost -- I haven't been up there since outgrowing
the goblins.) I fear that these zones will become nearly unplayable long
before the promised Christmas release of the expansion pack, as more and
more players reach these levels and pile up with nowhere else to go.
Already the easily accessible entrances to all of these are fairly
steadily camped.
Hopefully the other planes will be fixed and open sometime soon, providing
more choices. And perhaps one of the new areas being added to the western
(Erudite) continent will have stuff appropriate for the top levels.
