Its not that hard to solo in the Overthere if you are a ranger. It's not hard in the Dreadlands either. Just pull the mob to a safe place and fear kite animals or bow kite. I agree about Frontier Moutains, it's too dangerous to solo there. Unless you can find a good place to pull to you definately shouldn't fight out in the open.

I made Locate and Corpse hotkeys early on for corpse runs. But I hate the XP loss. I died 3 times last week, which added another 2 days before I reached 38. I have no guild or high level friends to depend either, so I go where I know I can get back to. But I do have a Druid cousin that jumps me around when he's on. So spend a few minutes scouting before you jump in! Learn from your mistakes! Once you get to Kunark your solo career is limited. There are just too many mob's and too big a chance of a bad pull. I have seen Druids quadkiting in the OT and I saw one go down on an overpull. It helps to group until you get a feel for the area. And watch out for the Goons in OT!
