Fighting imps in the Necropolis is new to me.

did a few hours of Campaign after work with Neyla, climbing closer and closer to than magical ninth merit point and STR upgrade.

Despite the changes made to the Campaign teleport NPCs a few months back, I've never taken advantage of them to do the battles inside Garlaige Citadel, the Crawler's Nest, or Eldieme Necropolis. Old habits die hard. That changed today. I usually follow Neyla from battlefield to battlefield, and he chose the necropolis at one point.

It's a very different vibe in the past, without all the ruin and decay of the present-day version. Sadly, the main enemy there seems to be comprised of the hated orcs. The few I fought didn't use Orcish Counterstance so I could beat myself into brain trauma, but I'm sure that was just luck.

Bleh.

Campaigning again in Meriphitaud.

I popped online to do some Campaign Ops on Warrior and was told my medal had expired. That's not unusual, but the difference is this time when I went for an evaluation they actually took the medal away from me. I lost my Wings of Honor badge. How lame is that?

Busted down a rank, I did the supply run and then flagged the escort. Neyla didn't log on until later in the evening, past the point where I'd already figured he wasn't logging on at all. We did the escort -- I dinged 51 on Warrior -- and then did some Campaign battles.

I need a few more merit points for my next STR upgrade, and then I'll try to get my medal back.
