and it took far more exp to get there, the pl code meant higher level chars couldnt grp without seriously nerfing the exp. There wasnt even darkness falls!
I soloed the majority of the way to 50, probably wasted a LOT of time, took around 30 days total, and was one of the lucky ones who could solo OJs.
as you rightly mention its a lot about armour and equipment too, cm drops, the odd uber (94 qual) ez drop, old hib quests. I can remember people going nuts for +3 skill rings, and the other realms demanding that our EZ rings got nerfed cause they where so uber (they had 1x10% melee resist!).
To put it in perspective, I can remember with my first 2 chars that once they got their epic armour they shot up massivly in power. Full epic owned, some of my resists even got above 10%!.
