With the new Everquest II expansion Rise of Kunark finally released Xanadians finally had to face some new content. You know grinding 10 adventure/crafting levels 40 AA points and having to make up for a whole new Tier of spells and equipment can really keep people busy for quite a while. Apart from the features of this expansion and the questionable move from SoE to base the whole T8 XP grinding on mainly Solo quests (which i personally enjoyed, but others really hated it), the grind started pretty much fast and furiously and Vaanir made it to be the first player to get to level 80 Adventurer on RE Server (and one of the first level 80 Crafter too iirc :P), so big grats to him!

In less than a week after release we had already quite a bunch of players at level 80 so on Monday we decided it was time to start some raiding (we had already killed the x2 mobs in Kunzar Jungle but they were really too easy even if they conned orange the first time we killed them). Too bad that T1 raids (The Executioner Throne Room, The Tomb of Thuuga and Protector's Realm) really didn't meet our expectations, as they were cleared even before our usual raid times ended. Not a big deal, some easy loot for us and some distraction for those who really don't like solo questing
