Let's hope we have a full group. Update 27 is finally out on Lamannia. 3 new shavarath quests and then a new raid. I saw a list of the items there. Quite a few of them look interesting. So I hope we can play these quests a bit too. They are level 30 so keep a toon you have at level 26+ for such runs.
U27 should be out on the live servers later this month. Here are some of the changes:
Of Special Note:
Trials of the Archons - Update 27 includes a new adventure pack, featuring three new quests and a new raid! This first Lamannia preview includes the three new quests, called "Trial of the Archons", "The Devil's Details", and "Demon Assault." The quest-givers are located in Amrath, which can be accessed from the Tower of the Twelve along with the Shavarath Planescaller in the Eberron Hall of Heroes. The Heroic versions of these quests begin at level 13, and the Epic versions of these quests are level 30.
