Destiny of Velious NDA Lifted [EverQuest II]
from ZAM News (full)
|
Your faithful ZAM staff has spent a fair amount of time entranched in the Destiny of Velious beta with Heroes of Test. We're here to report to you: It's cold in Velious. Okay, you knew that. Destiny of Velious offers a lot to all play styles, but since there's a week before launch we're going to stick to generalities. As usual, all our information is from beta and may or may not change before the expansion launches. All pictures were provided by SOE. There are two overland zones in Destiny of Velious: Great Divide and Eastern Wastes. Here you'll find the solo content you've come to expect. We found the quests enjoyable and the rewards good. The coveted Flying Mount quest is part of the solo Great Divide series. Thurgadin, home of the Coldain Dwarves, can be found in the Great Divide. It serves as a minor quest hub as well as a city area with the usual amenities including brokers, bankers, a crafting area and writ givers. Several important qu ...

SOE Commerce and Forum Downtime for Feb. 2 [General News]
from ZAM News (full)
|
Sony Online Entertainment has posted two maintenance notices for tomorrow, Feb. 2. Below are the two posts taken from the SOE forums. SOE Account and Commerce Flow and the Station Store Beginning at 7 AM PST on Wednesday February 2, 2011, SOE Account and Commerce flow and the Station Store will be unavailable due to maintenance. We expect this maintenance to take approximately 1 and 1/2 hours. This might cause some forum accounts to temporarily lose permissions, due to the inability to verify account status while the maintenance is taking place. This is only temporary and normal permissions will return automatically once the maintenance is complete. SOE Forum Downtime All SOE forums will be undergoing maintenance on Wednesday, February 2, 2011, from 10:00am PST until around 11:00am PST. During this time the forums will not be accessible. We will return to regular functionality as quickly as possible.

Hotfix - February 3, 2011 [EverQuest II]
from ZAM News (full)
|
All U.S. servers will come down at 7am PST on Thursday, February 3rd for a hotfix. The estimated downtime is one hour. Here are the patch notes: GENERAL Fixed an exploit where players could use marketplace item expanders on guild halls. Players who have done that will have the item expander applied to their personal house when they next zone into their personal house and the item expander will be removed from the guild hall. If this puts a guild hall over its item limit it will still have the items but you will not be able to add more items until the item count is reduced. The character house item bonus from the marketplace expander now properly applies to your home and shows in the total number of bonus items in the UI.
