Lonely Leveling

Heya Ryzom community :)

I was just thinking about what there really is to do while playing by yourself for short periods of time in Ryzom..
Normally I would be at college during the day, come home & play Ryzom for a few hours in the evening, team up with guildies and friends and do whatever..
But currently I'm away on holiday which means I'm out, busy having fun in the sun most of the time & hardly ever have time to play. When I do sometimes get on it's normally only for short periods of time and I've been finding it hard to get on with any leveling by myself for a half hour/hour or so.

I guess another reason I've noticed this issue is because it's become more difficult to dig safely in my area (Matis - Upper bog). With the new(ish) Torbak and big Kitin nasty(Can't remember his name.. wth he's doing in a bog I dunno either) It's pretty damn hard to do anything without people around to help keep an eye out/Rez. Yes I've got my macro's for targetting him etc.. but digging in the race-lands used to be a fairly simple & safe thing to do for the low-mid level harvesters..

So.. I'm at a loss without time & safe digging, I just dunno what to do anymore when it comes to leveling solo, safely.

I guess it wont be a problem for me in the long term when I return home to the hours or Ryzom playage but I just thought I post my thoughts at least for those people who are in the same boat.. ie: People who work funny hours/weekends - don't have much free time..

Please express your views on the subject, if you will. :)

Note: Please don't tell me to go do missions, they bore me to tears.. we're on about leveling here ok?!?! ;)

Tryed lvling PR? yes its just as boring as digging anywhere else but GoO in Umbra is a joke for how safe it is you could get many a lvl there in the small amount of playing time you have and PR lvls always good sooner or later :D

Somebody with better initative should start spreading some unwritten rule about making all bars at capital cities some sort of default meeting place to hook up for some kind hunt party and maybe start a cultural phenomon where the bars are implicit meeting place for adventureres and possibly give players better chance on forming team.

Somebody definitely shoud do this, but it certainly won't be me.

Bars need better parking facilities then.. ie closer to stables/town entrance
barman in Yrk is opposite end of town to main gate/stables/TP.., Pyr is too far from gates etc to be useful, Fairhaven isnt bad :) , Zora.. cant remember, except they hang around the trainers.

Its a nice idea, sorry to be so negative, just somewhat irritated with the suggested changes ATM. :(
