Breaking: New Raid Content in September
Written by Feldon on Wednesday, August 15, 2012 at 3:10 pm

When asked about mob-specific war runes (red adornments) from earlier Velious zones being made available in Drunder, Kander had this surprising response:

There is new raid content coming in September. Most of these will make a re-appearance there.

At EQ2Wire, we have been very concerned that there would be no new high level content between April 2012 and late November 2012. Now it looks like we have something to look forward to!

Should be Sleepers Tomb with Kerafyrm like they announced.
So it might be an Splitpaw Cave Design =)

I hope there's new group content as well. Really getting burnt out on Skyshrine.

I always hoped that they did something with that Solusek's Eye: The Calling zone that appeared on Zam...

Ragefighter,

The zone is listed on Zam as a level 80+ raid zone, but to date I don't think it exists in-game.

@Ragefighter

I don't think it is in game either, or at least I've never found the entrance. But yeah Solusek's Eye is one of my all time favorites too.

Sol's Eye raid...that would be insane! I hope that does someday become a real thing...

It it an amazing well done zone, with gorgeous effects and an epic feel.
Veeshan's Peak is pretty liquid hot magma-y also, looks good to me. :)

Also, by September did he mean in game in November?

^^^ LoL good point, god I hope not.

Seriously though it's conspicuous that only 2/4 SS instances have raid content. I see parallels between this and the xpac they came with don't u? :P

We need some X2 raid zones, as Drunder isn't worth the effort per reward since Skyshrine

Yeah Drunder blows hard.

Has anyone noticed that Soe has been a bit more open of late?

The monthly coming soon stuff, the recently updates with real game features(auto attack bar)

It seems that they are making an effort now to talk to the people. I haven't been to the forums of late, is it better there?

Nope, no better in the forums, especially reguarding the pss1 'stuff'

There's still some stuff they don't wanna touch, but the communication has improved a lot in the last few months.

I'd love to see Siren's Grotto and Phinny's Lair in EQ2.
