Legendary Warriors of Ghallanda

Have been VIP when playing this game for the longest time, last time I was premium was 2010 I think. Anyway, how I used to get into higher quest difficulties than norm for first time through was to group with another player and as long as they had the quest, I could go in on a high difficulty.

Seems they fixed that in the last several years tho - now, that helper player needs to enter the quest in order to get that difficulty.

So my question is - is there any way (other than being VIP) to open R1 difficulty on a 1st life premium account char without an equivalent level opener?

Unfortunately, I do not think there is another way. This is just off the top of my head though, so I could be wrong.

Ok fine. They got another 3 months out of me. Small price to pay to be able to open R1 and solo stuff when nothing's going on :D
