Moving away from the storage issue rants; the new EX tags are helpful - found 2 additional gyms where I live that could hold EX raids (I knew of one due to triggering it on Zapdos day)
Sadly most of my raids are not where I live because the local group is not organised/not strong enough and generally don't raid at the times I can .. However have made an effort to raid at a few Ex gyms in Dunedin several times, so it will be interesting what gyms are picked as holding the next EX raids .. and when .. and if the pattern from last time continues ..
It will be also interesting to see exactly how the EX pass sharing works ..
Over the weekend also got 4 best friends, which also took me to 60 million total XP - which means in 1 year and 1 week since hitting level 40 (20 million XP) I made an addition 40 million XP. It would have been nice if it would have worked out if that had happened in just a year .. but it was not to be. It also really shows you how much XP Niantic have started handing out in the form of XP bonuses, raids and friendships ..
