Last Chaos was safely up and running again by the time I got up; it seems that the big server improvements are being phased in over a number of stages, but they are confident that now, at least, any "rollbacks" needed will be for a day rather than a fulll week. So, LordDarth was able to head for Maargadum Jail on Hatzring-4 before breakfast.
Dompteur was already pet-levelling at the first spot on the right, so once again Darth had to move slightly further along, but things progressed smoothly through the morning, with nobody's pet getting attacked by a death mask soldier.
After coffee my level 35 phoenix ranger rogue RedRydeR logged on to Cariae-5, and headed for Prokion Temple, and that favourite back room. After a few minutes a solo party became available, which was useful. Just before the end a level 29 titan who was in the party, Evocati, briefly entered my room, and then hurried off - when I logged out I let him know that the room was now free. By then Red had gone up by exactly 5%, gaining 58 guild points for Discipline; adding an extra 227 skill points took her total above the 18k mark, so that's pretty good progress.
The afternoon session was a bit similar; LordDarth continued his pet-levelling, and got his horse into level 32, while on the newer, or less old, computer, Kaerella logged in on Katar-5, where she is a level 32 archer. Fighting the orc sergeants and orc axemen would give her too much experience, and not enough skill exp, is the thinking, so Kae headed for the mirror half of the temple's "corridor room", with its plentiful supply of level 25 orc fighters, and a single orc axeman. So, during the afternoon Kaerella added just 9.00%, along with 61 guild points for Discipline, plus more importantly 258 skill points.
After a little checking around and moving of items to MistressDomino on Auzura by the "send gift" option, for the evening I decided, since it would be one of my usual early-ending Wednesday evening sessions, that the best thing I could do would be to get RedRydeR a little further through level 35, on Cariae-5. So, back I went to Prokion Temple, finding my room free again - it may be the best room for the level 29 orc sergeants and level 27 orc axemen, but a lot of people seem to prefer to make their main efforts on the lower-level monsters in the Temple.
With about half an hour to go before I had to leave, a level 29 knight called oOLegolasOo charged in and started fighting, but he seemed pleasant enough company, and we chatted, and indeed ended up adding each other to our Friends lists. It is surprising how many people don't know that reaching level 31 will automatically plonk straight into their inventory all five pieces of the 30/32 armour set for their class, plus both level 33 weapons, plus for a knight the level 33 shield, all +10... while that may be a nice surprise, some people just don't have enough inventory space for it all at the relevant moment, and thus lose out.
So, I was talking about how useful the Elizabeth's Enhancement was, and how he'd need to spend 228 skill points to maximise Mana Break, the level 30 skill, before he could choose which class to bem temple knight or royal knight, and how many skill points it took to upgrade his guild, and indeed where myst eyes could be found, and the drawbacks and expenses on "P2" type pets... which helped slow down my killing rate, so that there were just about enough orcs to go round.
RedRydeR ended up earning another 6.53%, so that she is now more than three-quarters of the way through her level, along with 76 guild points and 305 skill points. Another three or four sessions should get her to level 36, at which point we will start trying to speed things up a bit.

LordDarth continued his pet-levelling through the evening, and eventually the "Creature Carnival" event meant an hour or so of double pet experience, which helps him, even if I'm not able to go along to the special area in Dratan. Not that Darth would really want to fight the wafes there, or indeed attempt to get past the masters of secret technique and dragons to get there, but some evening it would be good to see where the stone statue for levelling drakes and horses is. 714, 2150 is the location, apparently - maybe one week Keerella and Barbarienne can take SkrappY along.
There is a special free offer this week, which I was able to take advantage of. Aeria has a lot of deals in place, both in the USA and Britain, and maybe elsewhere, where you can get "free aeria points" for doing something - such as signing up for ringtones, or newsletters, or indeed getting a new phone contract. And this week, if you sign up for an offer and get your free points, you will be sent a free package of goodies in-game. So, I managed to sign up on a survey site, and after a few misfires with surveys I didn't qualify for, give my ratings on a number of stores, and earn a less-than-massive 18 aeria points...about twelve pence, perhaps?
The package of items will be small, but hey, it will be free, so what's not to like?
