All EverQuest Live Servers will be brought offline on Wednesday, March 13, 2019 at 3:00 AM PT* for an update. Downtime is expected to last approximately 8 hours.

Patch notes for this update will be found in the Game Update Notes section of the forums once they are available.

*Convert to your local time

I was busy this week fixing issues the site has had. We narrowed down the issues and figured out why they were happening. More work needs to be done on fixing other areas that slow the site down but we'll continue to work on those.

However updates were still done to content such as going back over West Freeport NPC's and setting their titles and adding those titles to be searchable as well. New comments also have been regularly updated by us admins within the past few days, I'll let those pile up a few more days and go back in and update them.

Also today the modified rulesets for Mangler and Selo were anounced. You can get news on that here. I'll be creating the server pages for them soon in the progression wiki guide.

Spells were updated the day of the patch. And the item collector is currently being worked on so we hope that will be available for everyone soon.

- Tyrant of Fire - The mission will no longer be in an unwinnable state if one or more of the adventurer NPCs runs away.

The Note to Tain is now lore and no trade.

Here are the patch notes for Tuesday's EverQuest game update (servers due up around 8:00 A.M. Pacific Time):

*** Highlights ***

- Added a search function for advanced loot filters.
- Improved the load speed of characters into the world and when reloading UI.
- Moved the advanced loot settings from the Edit Filters window into a new window.
- Corrected a problem that caused some events that take place in instanced zones, such as the Arcane Fair for the Wizard step of "An Epic Request", to stop working.

Here are the patch notes from this morning's game update (taken from the patcher):

*** Highlights ***

- Corrected an error that prevented some players from receiving raid currency if they were dead when the raid was completed.
- Shadowknight - Rank I abilities are now available from Julaea Zimero in Ethernere-Tainted Plains of Karana.
- Caster mercenaries have regained their lost power.
- Fixed an issue where day and night spawns could get reversed or otherwise confused.
- Fixed several possible zone and server crashes related to Heroic Adventures.
- Fixed a possible zone crash in the barter system.

From the patch message: ----- We're sorry to have to say this, but the new casino has become too popular. The huge number of players gambling at the casino is causing issues with the servers, and has been responsible for a few zone crashes. Unfortunately, this means that we have had to remove the casino NPCs until after the New Year arrives. * Other Changes * - Cancel magic will no longer remove disciplines or melee abilities. - Fixed a bug that was causing the party to be unable to see hit point updates for the last person to join their group. - Healing Will and Focused Will now stack with most other hit point regeneration effects. - Corrected a bug that was causing AAs to increase the duration of combat abilities. - We have reorganized the context menu for Disciplines to make it a bit more logical. -----
