The 14 level spread is definately going away, as it and spell consolidation are 2 different things.

They also don't say spell consolidation is gone. They just say it's not coming out with the expansion.

Thanks for bringing everything together. First time I've actually seen the Sarnak model. Looks good IMHO, though the scene with the lava looks a bit too much like Lavastorm.

The screenshots are nice, but I must have missed the WoW/EQ2 server merge...

They've been patching it in slowly since release

I don't know if people have seen this already, but here's another article on Kunark.

EverQuest II: Rise of Kunark Preview

The notable thing, in my opinion, would be this:

But the new zones aren't just rehashes of old ones. "We like to get some original dungeons in so everything is not just retooled from EQ1," Hooper said. One entirely new dungeon is Chelsith, an epic alien dungeon in the Kunzar Jungle. It contains a race of fish-men who worship a Behemoth. It has strong alien and horror influences and a bright, wacky color palette that is unlike much of EQ2, but definitely "fits." There are eyeballs in the floors, tentacles, pools of ooze, etc. Unfortunately, Hooper was not able to show us the Behemoth, but did say that in a raid, he can be fought.

The big cherry on top of Rise of Kunark for elite achievers is Trakanon. We didn't see it at the event, but this is an epic series of raids, the culmination of their raid progression. There are six raid zones with 12 raids in the final zone. And yes, Sarnak do get to meet their old creators, as the big enchilada here is an epic dragon.

The Sarnak were in fact made by a big enchilada... Here is an NDA breaking picture of the raid mob
