Used to be West Karana and now it's not
Yup, last night we entered Vex Thal for the first time as a guild. Aten Ha Ra, your days are numbered, etc. (I don’t have to mention that we were trying to zone off a train, right? Good!)

Reader and guildmate Egat pointed out that not only EverQuest 2 patched yesterday — so did its daddy, EverQuest. Here’s the patch notes, along with some commentary.
Seeds of Destruction Zone Sneak Preview: All active EverQuest subscribers with accounts in good standing will be able to experience all new EverQuest Seeds of Destruction zones two week before commercial release!
