Like many folks I recently cleaned all the currency and tokens out of my bags and put it in the new Currency Tab in my Character Window. I was amazed how much speciality currency I had lying around. Where did all this stuff come from? What's it for? Should I hoard it, or is it junk now? We try to answer all those questions in our shiny new Currency Guide !

Velious Music on Test Copy [EverQuest II]
from ZAM News (full)
|
There's a bit of buzz today in the EverQuest II community as astute file-watchers found an"exp07"music directory downloading with the latest Test server patch. It's not uncommon for expansion assets to appear in live and test data very early, but the music files are the only ones the average person can access without the game client. SOE has been very tight-lipped about the Destiny of Velious expansion, and players are eagerly snapping up every tidbit they find. Some of the subdirectory names are quite familiar to players of the original EverQuest: Kael_Drakel, The_Fortress_of_Dunder, Thurgaden, Tower_of_Frozen_Shadow and Velkators_Labyrinth. There are also two called Rallos_Zek and Overland; Overland includes files called Othmir_Camp and Thrgadin_City_and_Harbor.

Research Assistant Amenity and UI Crashes [EverQuest II]
from ZAM News (full)
|
Today's EverQuest II hotfix introduced a change to the Research Assistant that no longer requires you to visit one in a city--instead, the service can be accessed from your Knowledge window. This alteration caused the guild hall Research Assistant amenity to no longer be functionable, but still take up an amenity slot and only give a 50% refund if sold back. After a discussion regarding this cropped up on the SOE forums, Greg"Rothgar"Spence was able to give a favorable response to the amenity change: The proper thing to do from a customer service standpoint is to provide a refund of the amenity that has been phased out, so that's what I'm working on. We want you to feel happy about your purchases and not worry about whether a game change in the future will invalidate the work you put in to obtain something, even if the change is for the positive. So hang in there until next week's hotfix and the amenity should be refunded for you automatically. The status a ...
