Yeah I know, Solusek Ro is crazy. I visited some other shards playing
young ogres(who sprinted to enter the place), and no other server had as
much as us. We tend to hit 40-50 players easy at night, though very few
young ones hunting defenders like myself. Hell, we have the most amount
of 50s(around 10) of any shard. I'd recommend to any bard to get into
Cazic-Thule as soon as possible, because its rapdily becomes the next
crushbone, blackburrow, or highpass, otherwise you'll start to have
trouble getting the items too. They are rare; I've been in groups that
have killed 8 tae ews, a clay golem, and the steel golem, and have to
see any rubicite, so you'll be struggling if your a mid-range player.
