Test Copy Server Purge Imminent [EverQuest II]
from ZAM News (full)
|
A forum post by"Bunji"of the Quality Service department informed us that the Test Copy server is slated to be purged as early as today. This means all player information for that server will be deleted. He also stated that" There is no ETA on when this server will be back up at this time." Test Copy is the server where players can copy over characters from the live servers, bypassing the leveling process to test high-end content. From time to time it has also been switched to a Player versus Player server to test PvP content. There is no mention of the regular Test server, which carries a built-in experience bonus to facilitate content testing, so it can be assumed that Test is not affected.

Calthine's Fan Faire Tips [General News]
from ZAM News (full)
|
Have you registered for Fan Faire yet? It's less than a month away and registration closes in two weeks. That means it's time for my annual Fan Faire Tips! This is stuff I and other Fan Faire veterans have learned attending past Fan Faires and other conventions. All this may mean nothing if you're the type who can toss a change of undies in a bag and be good for a week, but me, I need to plan a bit. Getting there: If you're flying, be sure to check the current FAA regulations on what you can and cannot carry. There are, for example, some odd rules about extra laptop batteries. Check your departing airport's website for how early you need to be there: if you miss the window you might arrive without your luggage. Once in Vegas, plan on a couple of hours to get from the plane to your hotel. I recommend you catch a shuttle to the hotel. It doesn't matter which one - they all cost about the same, $15 or so. Buy a round trip-ticket, because it's cheaper that way a ...
