Alone in classic on an infinite timeline

Yes. I solo'd most of my Blighted back in Kunark by root rotting boogeys south of Dread temple.

Why would you want to play this game alone with no other players?? Would be so boring. At least I would want 5 other friends on server so we could have a full group and do some semi hard stuff.

YFW whole thread is an advertisement for red server

Are ground transfers permitted?

Different classes different capabilities, may sometimes be handy to use different rooms for different encounters and gear each other up.

Likewise switching characters for harmonies or zoneline snare splits (not classic) etc

You may not be able to 2-box but if you can switch characters, I think many of the things listed here actually get a lot easier.

Wraith can most definitely be done if you have a 60 druid and a 60 enchanter with a lot of patience (and dying)

Many epic mobs can be managed with some harmony, pull, root, logout strats.

Certain mobs that are absolutely un-soloable are soloable with some logout tricks. (I may or may not have some experience with said tricks)

So... alone on a server, with infinite time, I would level a druid, enchanter and shaman and I think with logout tricks could do many things that seem unsoloable.

(I am sure this might work with other classes too, but I am no expert for diciplines of all classes)

In theory, you could get an unlimited number of level 60 monks. You could log your infinite number of monks next to mobs and then log in one monk after another to fight the mob with voiddance (8sec dodge all melee attacks). Once a monk dies, you'd log in the next one.

With this technique, you could kill any mob who does not reg more health during your relog than you deal in the 8 to X seconds of each monk.

Thinking about it, this might be the worsed thing anyone has ever done to him or herself.

It should be noted that a Wizard is a hard requirement to enter Planes of Hate/Sky.

As a result of this, the only epics that wouldn't be hard-locked are:

Wizard
Druid
Shaman
Bard
Cleric

Edit: I guess some others might be possible if you are able to MQ the items from your Wizard.

Technically, you can get your VP key and go to zone out pad for Plane of Sky. I know that Hate eventually had the Spectre portal in oasis as an entryway, would be interesting if that were allowed to be open (considering then enchanter epic is the only epic that is not obtainable, but is one of the least useful in this scenario).

I shudder at the thought of a wizard soloing a single mob in Hate, like ever. I suppose would need to farm a puppet string / soulfire / etc, but damn, there are tons of adds there. Wizards aren't equipped for that, even with full bag of clickies.

Well assuming you have infinite time in any and all patch timelines you want from p99 you could conceivably load up about 100 pre-nerf Ivandyr's Hoops on corpses and maybe knock trak below 97% before getting shroomed, then get summoned back without getting any adds on one of your million attempts and spam those hoops to kill him. Would need to set up a really fast method of looting/using/destroying them though.
Theoretically you might even be able to kill some VP dragons and all the Kunark world dragons with the hoop.
In order to make any of that work though you'd need to be able to retain somewhere around 100 corpses, maybe a lot more than that depending on dragon regen, and you'd need to get each corpse a hoop and probably a reaper, and then you'd need to have like a monk or something drag all of them into Traks lair, and then you'd probably need to solo Prot and a jugg or 2 somehow before Trak, and you'd need to maintain level 60, all within a 1 week corpse time-frame, so you'd probably need to use a Bard, Paladin, or Cleric to actually kill Trak, or really anything requiring a massive corpse pile since you cant duel anyone to prevent XP loss.
