If you have completed the old epics, you will be able to start the NEW epics at level 30. (You do not need the old armor as previously reported, by the way, just the completed old epic.) HOWEVER - we have reports of problems with the new quests right now due to a problem syncing the Pendragon test files with the live servers. Please don't try to start the new epic quests at this time, at least until I can give you an update here on the Herald. And please, spread the word to those who do not read the Herald.
