There was some Legends only zone and related quests. Unfortunately, due to problem within such rapidly development zone, Legends teams abandon them forever. There was a last event for vanishing Marauder's Mire from Norrath, it was final quest of Legends only zone. Actually, there was many unreasonable items drops in such zone.
