This morning's hotfix addresses minor issues with the UI, Shader 3.0 and some items. Automatic spell replacement on hotbars has been temporarily disabled. The King Speleothem event in Stonebrunt should be working now! See the complete notes from the launchpad after the jump. EVERQUEST II EXTENDED Fixed a bug causing Platinum subscribers to not be able to use the shared bank. USER INTERFACE Fixed a bug that would cause your AA slider to reset to 50% upon zoning. Sort by current zone for the quest journal now properly puts the current zone quests at the top of the list. We have disabled the spells from replacing old ones in the hotbar until we can track down a bug regarding it. SHADER 3.0 Fixed an issue causing parts of some structures in Halas to show as wireframe. ITEMS Torque of the War Blade and Ring of the Vice Vigoth now have resists added to their stats. Runic Deflection on Band of Mreeptahp’s Fury now correctly wards your targe ...

Featured Guide: Making Money in EverQuest II [EverQuest II]
from ZAM News (full)
|
Veteran players forget, sometimes, the things that threw us a bit when we were new players. Remember getting your first free house and wondering where you were going to get five silver a week to pay for it? Prices on the broker can seem a bit daunting when you've only got 90 silver in your pocket and really want to upgrade your pet spell. Making money in EverQuest II isn't hard, but a new player might like a couple of hints to the better opportunities to line their pockets. We hope our new guide, How to Make Money , helps you get the goodies you need to succeed.

from ZAM News (full)
|
SOE has released the press information on Destiny of Velious, and with it the concept art, screenshots and video from the 2010 SOE Fan Faire. Following the events of Sentinel's Fate , the twin Swords of Destiny, Soulfire and the Qeynos Claymore, have been drained of their powers, setting the stage for the destruction of the EverQuest universe. The prophecy known as Age's End begins to unfold in the legendary continent of Velious and it is here where the war for Norrath will arise. For there to be any chance to save Norrath, the Swords of Destiny must be restored. Norrath’s guardians who undertake this burden will be tested by labyrinthine dungeons, the harsh Velious tundra and powerful creatures including the God of War himself, Rallos Zek. To succeed would mean ultimate glory. To fail would mean annihilation Click the image at right to see the gallery of screenshots and concept art shown at Fan Faire. Here are ...

Spotlight: August Events [EverQuest II]
from ZAM News (full)
|
Game Update 57 is quickly approaching, with an estimated release date of August 17, 2010. This update heralds the end to a few ongoing events. The finale of the Halas Prelude event, Tribute to the Huntress , will end, though the rare house item version of the ripe pomegranates , which first appeared during this quest, will remain a permanent addition in The Commonlands. The Druid Ring Reconstruction Event has been completed on every server except Harla Dar and Barren Sky, in Russia. Once the eighth ring was finished, it unlocked a quest called Path of the Prophet . As far as we know at this time, the entire event, including the token merchants , is scheduled to disappear when GU57 arrives. This means that you should look into spending all of those hard earned Florets of Growth! A note about the Druid Ring Event: Niami Denmother of EQ2 Traders reported this in her Fan Faire 2010 Summary : "I heard third-hand that there were plans to let the druid ring rebuilding event continue ...

Fan Faire: EQII Expansion Panel [EverQuest II]
from ZAM News (full)
|
The EverQuest II expansion panel was sketchy on details, but what we saw was promising. Destiny of Velious, slated to launch February 8, will return Norrathians to the fabled continent of Velious. Here players will continue the Order of Rime storyline, discover the fate of Thurgadin, and learn more about what happened in the 500 years between EverQuest and EverQuest II. The expansion will be levels 86+, to compliment Sentinel's Fate. There is no level cap increase and there will be new AA although the details have not been hammered out yet. Apparently this early in development there are still quite a few things under discussion. We were given a list of zones and features, and told that there are more things planned that they have not yet finalized. So far there are: Hundreds of new weapons, including Velium weapons 300+ quests 10 instances 1 massive contested dungeon 4 Heritage Quests including the Coldain Prayer Shawl 6 Raids 2 Ov ...
