I spent a lot of time in MM. Solo'ing and grping...twinked out and as a legit new player on p99. It is a tight zone (which is fun) with lots of mobs (which is fun) and lots of players (which is fun) with a cool castle theme (which is fun) with actual real loot (which is fun). It also is a train trap of death and tears (this is actually fun for me --- if you know the zone you learn how to deal with it).

The four camp thing: Pond, CE, GY, and CY. This is kind of the traditional set up. If you come here LF a pug then you'll almost 99% chance wind up in one of those four places. The thing is the zone, especially the castle insides, supports WAY more than 1 grp at CE and 1 grp at CY.

First, I would straight up consider the music room / back of castle to be its own camp. A grp could set up in the music room and easily pull tons of mobs if they pull towards the back (maid, butler, cook area) and never see an average CE grp.

Second, I would also consider the Tower its own exp camp. If a grp sets up on the bridge that seems like a reasonable area. They could clear much of the upstairs, the tower itself, the stairwell down to the prison, the torture room etc. They would rarely rub shoulders with the GY grp (which frequently doesn't pull the tower due to lvl difference) or the CE grp inside.

Third, the pit is frequently considered its own area. This one is kinda dicky imo. However, the way it usually happens is that the CE grp either is crappy and decides it would rather pull lower lvl mobs from outside the castle then from inside. The GY grp might not be pulling them at all; for an untwinked GY grp the pit mobs and tower mobs might be legit too high for them. So a lfg/solo'er sees the mobs and sets up shop. Only later as the zone gets cramped does someone whine about the guy in the pit "stealing" their mobs.

I personally solo'd my twink monk up to around lvl 40 by using my eye to single pull the tower and clearing the gargoyles in the stairwell hidden behind the mural. I rarely ever even saw another player with the exception of the high lvl who was camping Cherista.
