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.

from ZAM News (full)

Earlier this evening, Dave"Smokejumper"Georgeson announced a couple of upcoming features that will enhance player housing even more. Players will be allowed to own more than a single home--there will be no maximum limit to the number of homes allowed. The EQII team is also planning on adding many more prestige homes to the game which will give decorators more variety to work with. It was also announced that the prestige homes will come with portals that will allow you to travel from one home to that particular prestige house. At this time no further information is available regarding the prestige portals. These housing changes are intended to be introduced in the next month or two. Dave Georgeson clarified that the enhancements are not linked in any way to the launch of the upcoming expansion. We'll be keeping an eye out for more information regarding these changes on our Housing Guide !
