I said effectively solo, and if you think that was effective you obviously never got into a Korroloka Tunnel JP worm leveling group which was better then valkrum exp parties.

It was possible to solo it just was not practical compared to groups once you hit 11-12.

If you DON'T think that was 'effective' solo, you never tried it. I often leveled faster than dunes parties myself. And of course it's not as good as a good party, are you retarded?
Sometimes people don't have time to organize a party or just feel like grinding it out solo for a bit, it was possible to level and do so at a decent rate without having to organize anything, how exactly is that not effective? Because it's not the absolute best? Please.

Effective and most effective are not the same thing, and hell... due to the nature of the game at the time often you would be able to be more effective soloing by virtue of the fact that you didn't have to wait nor did you have to worry about getting bad players who could slow you down far more than anything. Remember those parties back in the day where you came out with negative exp because your party sucked more than a Thread Leech? I sure do.
