Happy Holidays from the EverQuest Team!


A Frosty Experience Bonus: To help them celebrate the season of Frostfell, adventurers will be surrounded by a frosty bonus experience increase of twenty-five percent starting with Tuesday, December 23, 2008. The frosty bonus experience will remain until the end of Frostfell, Tuesday January 6, 2009. Enjoy the holidays!

Fan Faire Workshop Quests: At the 2008 SOE Fan Faire in Las Vegas, several EverQuest players got a chance to participate in a Quest Workshop where members of the EQ Development team walked them through the quest creation process. The following quests have been implemented this update:

Gyrospire Relocator: Researcher Stripcog has unearthed a device that will allow a being to teleport to the top of each of the gyrospires. Unfortunately, he needs the assistance of others to help get the device working again. This quest was implemented with the assistance of Shadowkiller of Stromm, Ledau of Prexus, and Brasse, Cheremoya, Palarran, Starrla, Xapp, Sumdaye and Numayre from The Tribunal.

Kicking Tail: Scribe Choone’s party, attempting to help Choone research a story for Gimblefixx, was ambushed and nearly wiped out, save Scribe Choone himself. Choone wants the players to thin out the minotaur warriors enough for his mission to continue, and especially to kill the big mean taskmaster known as Higoren. See Scribe Choone in Dragonscale Hills to find out more. This quest was implemented with the assistance of Hellbent of Firiona Vie, Nizgog, Aroraskie, Indico, and Rigss of Erollisi Marr, and Hulkling of The Tribunal.

Improved linkdead Recovery: We've decreased the amount of time linkdead players will have to wait to log back in because of a stuck character.

Improved camera control: We added the ability to rotate the 3rd person camera (the one you get when you use the mousewheel) using the left mouse button. This allows you to move the camera around your character without rotating the character. This is very similar to the way 3rd person cameras work in many other games.

Hot Zone Tasks: In addition to reminding players about the current Hot Zones, Franklin Teek in Plane of Knowledge now offers tasks for the most recent Hot Zones.

TSS Flag Requirements Removed: Removed the flag requirements for The Serpent Spine (TSS) expansion raids to enter the raid zones as long as you are level 74 or higher. The person requesting the raids will still be required to have the proper flags to request the raid.

SoF Crystal Drops Increased: Increased the number of Oil Stained Crystals that are dropped at the conclusion of the final event in Meldrath’s Mansion from six to twelve.

Lesson of the Devoted Improved: The Veteran AA Lesson of the Devoted will no longer be removed by death.

Bard Type 3 Augments: Added Bard type 3 augments to SoF and SoD faction vendors.

Weapon Ratio Changes: Some of the Seeds of Destruction (SoD) group weapons had their ratios further tweaked. This is a completion of some previous changes that didn’t quite make last Update.

New Icons for the Original Epics: With the newly discovered old set of icons, we gave the original epic 1.0s their intended art (for the original 1.0 epics that had one made).

Physical Resist Changes: Made tuning adjustments (downward) on many NPCs that had higher-than-expected resistances to Physical Attacks (Such as the Monk Eye Gouge attack). These attacks should be much more reliable now.

The Master Artisan Satchel should no longer display haste effect information when a haste item is placed inside it.

*** Spells ***


Made more tradeskill-created spells tradable on Firiona Vie.

Swapped the Earthen Embrace and Serpent Vines spells back to their proper items.

The effect from the Aura of Rodcet will now pulse every 6 seconds instead of being a persistent effect, allowing its effect to stack with Lich and Clarity lines.

The mana boost from the Aura of Rodcet now mimics the effect of Cantata / Chorus of Rodcet.

Puratus, Fulkitcher Weave, and Cantata of Courage spells should now work properly.

Bards will no longer have their mana drained by the spell Mana Ignite, though they should still take damage from the spell.

No holiday season is perfect though and a couple of your fellow Norrathians need your help to make Frostfell a merry holiday for all!

- Dropdown category for Spell Damage and Haste combination songs is now "Haste/Spell Focus" instead of either or both.

- The Malo and Tash lines should no longer interfere with out of combat regeneration.
- The Necromancer SoF robe clicky now spawns a short duration pet instead of bestowing casting haste. Higher tier versions of the click increase the pet's lifespan.

Spammers compromise Gmail.com signup process Read article
Posted by Jarvis 11-28-2008 at 08:07 PM - no comments
We had noticed a huge portion of spammer sign up attempts from @gmail.com addresses in the recent months. Turns out the spam-bot systems out there has managed to bypass the human verification systems used by Google so spammers are now using Gmail.com as their email address rather than well known email domains like .ru and .ch.

Sadly because of this we've had to add Gmail.com to our ban-list until Google is able to improve their registration system. Please use an alternate e-mail address for account sign up.
