OK, created a bug report, but not absolutely sure if this is WAI.
I have a toon on Lammania with over 3000 favor. He logged in and got a message to speak to Nyx who gave him Veteran (II) status. Logged out for the night.
Today I created two new characters and put them through the airship levelling, but both times got kicked off the airship at level 4. There was no dialogue option I saw that allowed me to stay on for level 7. For reference the toons were a horc barbarian and a halfling rogue - both cookie-cutter builds.
I looked through the known issues list and the Lammania discussion forum and didn't see this topic broached. Is it just not turned on yet, am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
