It is no secret that Chany and my elf ARlELLE are an item in the game. I finally got around to interviewing him, which was a little difficult because Cobra showed up to make sure there was no hanky panky going on. ^_~ Chany and I spend a lot of time hunting together so I got a firsthand look at how tough it can be to go from level 49-50. Chany is a con knight that was made sometime in January 2003. He took about two months to get to level 49 and a little over a month to go from 49-50. He mainly hunted Fire Valley with a few stints in DVC 6f and FI. As far as the equipment and weapon he uses, he prefers to keep that information to himself… all I will say is that it is very, very good. ^.^* I asked him how many hours a day he plays but, we couldn’t figure it out. We both play a lot and one hour just melts into the next so I’ll just guesstimate that he plays about 6-8 hours. -.-;; There were a total of about seven deaths during level 49. Two of the deaths I recall were due to us being complete babos. When Aden first came out, after running around taking in all the sights, Chany wanted to show me Lindivor… so off we ran… and ran and ran and ran… -.- After about half an hour of running to find the blasted dragon, we get there only for some idiot to hit the dragon and all I heard was a resounding chorus of deaths. I was lucky to escape but Chany died. T.T

The other memorable death, (memorable because I was there and I too died) was right after my elf hit level 49. We were so excited, so off we go on the boat to Forgotten Island. Everything was going great until a few too many mops showed up and I panicked. I ran like an idiot and only succeeded in attracting more mops. I really just wanted to drag them away from him but they got us both. We were completely depressed. (COBRA: I TOLD THOSE BABOS!!!) We can look back and laugh now but I can’t think of anything more mentally taxing than spending a whole day leveling, only to lose it all in one death. However, all that is forgotten once the coveted level is reached. The morning Chany leveled, we were both up for entirely too many hours. We were hunting Fire Valley together and I kept asking him what % he was at. Finally I ran out of supplies and tele’d back to the castle to restock. I was about to go back out and he messaged me to sit tight. It felt like forever when he finally came to the castle in Baphomet morph.. luckily I had prepared and had a whole stack of fireworks to celebrate his achievement. Too bad the rest of the pledge wasn’t there (lazy ppl sleeping at 4am! \,./). We did however, run off to the Giran siege and had a great time picking on the goat.
