This will allow players with higher-end hardware to move out the distance at which the 3D world geometry is drawn into view, as well as the ability for players with lower-end hardware to pull this distance in, to further improve frame-rate. To utilize this new feature, you may do so by adjusting the clipping-plane slider bar located in the \"Options\"-\"Display\" directory, in-game. Sliding the bar left will reduce the distance at which the geometry is drawn in to view, whereas sliding the bar to the right will expand this distance. The following rules apply as to which zones the adjustable clipping-plane may be used in:\n\n- The clipping-plane can be pushed back in outdoor zones only.\n- Zones designed with heavy fog (e.g. tox, innothule, etc), the clipping-plane can only be adjusted slightly.\n\n- If the \"Misses\" chat filter is set to \"off\", Dodge, Parry, and Reposte messages will be filtered accordingly.\n\nAdditional chat filters have been added to filter out any unwanted text.\n\n*Zone Enhancements*\n\nKedge Keep has been enhanced with both new items and creatures.

Unfortunately, we were forced to bring Tallon Zek down soon after its launch because we had more than 5,000 people online at once.

As a result, Tallon Zek will remain down until we can get an additional server (which will take at MINIMUM one week). I apologize for the inconvenience, and I'm sure many of you are frustrated by this.

This update will require a minor client-side download. The following enhancements and new features will be activated once the update is complete.\n\n*General Announcements*\n\nWe are currently in the process of finishing up final internal testing for Tallon Zek, the new PvP-Teams server. We expect that it should be coming on-line this week. Once the date nears, a better estimate on the time of launch and further information regarding the Tallon Zek server will be made available.\n\nThe Fear Plane is now on-line. However, before adventuring to the Fear Plane, we advise you to heed the following advice:\n\nTraveling the planes is not like visiting a dungeon. People die in dungeons.\n\nPeople die hard on the planes.\n\nDying on a plane means that you might die in a place where your body may be extremely hard to recover, or in an area that you have no idea how to get back to. Big, nasty monsters will jump you at inopportune times, spells may work differently and once valid tactics might go right out the window.\n\nThe planes are dangerous places to adventure, and massive player slaughter will happen on a regular basis.\n\nWe are not saying this to goad you in to going - this is an honest disclaimer. So don't say we didn't warn you.\n\n*Trade Skill Enhancements*\n\n- Baking Chocolate and Fish Head Soup now work as designed.\n\n- Pottery has been enhanced by new items that can be made through the trade skill that will help the player-driven economy. Additionally, some of the profits of other pottery made items have been adjusted to facilitate this change.\n\n- Make and apply poison is now working in the game. To apply poison a Rogue must sit and click a piercing weapon on a poison to apply it. When the Rogue attacks there is a chance the creature will become poisoned. The poison will need to be reapplied if the player changes zones.\n\n*New Features*\n\n- The ability to report player whom are harassing has been implemented. This is done by typing \"/report\" - the previous 10 lines of text will be saved to the server for Customer Support representatives to review. This command may only be performed once while on-line, you must then log out and back in to use it again.\n\n- The \"r\" key will now initiate a reply to the last player whom sent the user a tell.\n\n- The /surname command has been added, which allows a player of 20th level or greater to issue his or her character a last name.\n\n- When a player consumes alcohol, a message will be given to players within the area.\n\n*Game Play Enhancements*\n\n- If a character is knocked unconscious, and has no stamina, the player will still regain consciousness.\n\n- Players are no longer able to cast Shadowstep next to a zone point and teleport to an area past the teleport region, which is inaccessible to other characters.\n\n- If a player is too far from a corpse while attempting to perform the /loot command, a message will now be given.\n\n- If the user was under the effect of either Treeform or Minor Illusion, then had Spirit of Wolf cast on them,\nthe player would be able to move in their altered state - This is no longer possible.\n\n- If the Eye of Zomm makes contact with a zone-point, the spell will immediately wear off.\n\n- Players may now target Drakes much easier.\n\n- Several \"Safe Zones\" have been Fixed.\n\n- A number of quests have been both enhanced and added.\n\n- Helmet colors are now displayed properly on Barbarians.\n\n- If a character is blinded, the chat box will no longer flash.\n\n- If a shuriken or throwing knife is equipped, then unequipped, the weapon will no longer remain on the character model.\n\n- Monk trainers will now train Instill Doubt.\n\n*Spell Additions and Enhancements*\n\n- The Eye of Zomm now allows the caster to travel up and down.\n\n- When player dispels minor illusion, the character's weapons will no longer disappear from the character model.\n\n- Some 44th and 49th Damage spells have had slight modifications made to them:\n\n- Gasping Embrace (Enchanter) has been re-tuned in the style of other DoT spells to make it more party friendly.\n\n- Retribution (Cleric) has had a typo fixed, and does about ten percent less damage now.\n\n- Ice (Druid) has had its damage lowered by a few points to match the damage done by Starfire.\n\n- Rend (Wizard) is now available on certain Wizard vendors (lvl 49 spell)\n\n- Shock of Swords (Magician) now does more damage.\n\n- Succor's (DRUID) casting cost has been raised to match the casting cost of the Circle, Evacuate and Portal spells.\n\n- Wizard Portal and Evac spells have had their AoE radius range upped to match Druid Circle spells.\n\n- Necromancer research components that did not previously stack should now stack.\n\n- The Bug that allowed Screaming Terror to work Outdoors has been fixed.\n\n- Vampiric Curse (NECROMANCER) damage has been upped.\n\n- Share Wolf Form (DRUID) has had its Area Effect Radius reduced. This means that party members who want to be turned into wolves should stand near the caster, while those that do not should stand further away.\n\n- Hitting F1 twice, or /pet target will now target your pet.\n\n- The Duration on Pack Regeneration (DRUID) has been increased.\n\n- Shrink (SHAMAN) has been put in to the game. It is a Level 19 spell, and available in all Shaman starting cities. This spell will only be castable in dungeons. It will not leave an icon on your screen - Shrink will last until you zone.\n\n- A Quest for Ice Comet has been added.\n\n- A Quest to help casters with research has been added. Good aligned races should check North Karana, while those with a more malign disposition should check South Ro.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"61653c8fa04d994a3737e44f3332a43c28062550b0740d1d812774a374fabde8","source_files":["patches-1999.txt"],"source_titles":["July 27, 1999"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"8f439d488101ecb5c88845e86d0bb25149d181713bc8bc7eeeca6822912fa2f3","filename":"patches-1999.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":30478,"item_index":null,"heading":"July 27, 1999","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"1999-07-27-1","id":"1999-07-27-1"},{"patch_date":"1999-07-22","effective_date":"1999-07-22","display_date":"July 22nd, 1999","title":"July 22nd, 1999","year":1999,"month":7,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Original EverQuest","expansion_code":"original-everquest","categories":[{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":[],"change_count":1,"word_count":61,"summary":"We have just activated the Guild submission forms in the EverQuest login server.

This schedule for the Test Server will only occur for approximately 1 week, after that the Test Server will remain on-line 24 hours a day.\n\nUUnet will be performing maintenance at 3:00 AM, on July the 13th, which will result in players losing connection to the servers. Since this maintenance will be taking place, we have moved our regularly scheduled update time from 7:00am to 3:00am for tomorrow only. UUnet has given us an approximate downtime of 3 hours. A list of game play enhancements is listed below.\n\nRoot spells will now overwrite spells with both positive and negative movement components in a more consistent pattern.\n\nBanish Undead and Banish Summoned (LVL 49 CLERIC, NECROMANCER, MAGICIAN, DRUID, etc.) have been changed from All or Nothing saving throws to a regular saving throws. This will make them easier to use against high level creatures.\n\nMagician summoning spells that produce multiple items have been changed to summon more items as the Magician's level increases.\n\nAll Poison and Disease DOT spells have received tuning.\n\nDruid DOT's (stinging swarm series) has been adjusted to do more damage over a shorter period of time.\n\nImmolate (DRUID) now does more damage, but has a shorter duration.\n\nMesmerization (ENCHANTER) has been changed to a straight AOE radius spell - it will no longer hang in the area. The AOE radius has been increased, as has the range.\n\nIce (LVL 49 DRUID) has been changed from an AOE spell to a single target DD spell.\n\nRage (SHAMAN) has been upgraded to a LVL 49 spell - Fury remains level 34.\n\nInvisibility spells (Invisibility, Gather Shadows, Camouflage, etc.) will now blink before they wears off.\n\nHitting F1 twice, or /pet target will now target your pet.The Duration on Pack Regeneration (DRUID) has been increased.\n\nShield of Lava (MAGICIAN) has had its mana cost reduced.\n\nThe Research entries for Intensify Death and Hungry Earth (NECROMANCER) have been updated.\n\nNew high level Necromancer spells have been added to vendors.\n\nA new Wizard spell Chill Sight has been added to the Wizard vendors.\n\nThe Magician's Summon Heatstone and Summon Coldstone spells will now work as long as the Stone is held or worn (the spell effect will never wear off).\n\nThe Insight spell (ENCHANTER) now adds Wisdom, not Intelligence. Brilliance still adds Intelligence.\n\nThe Tashan series (ENCHANTER) has had the recasting time reduced.\n\nResearch for higher level spells has been made a bit easier.\n\nSpells that Add HP now work better on pets.\n\nThe Necromancer's replacement spell for Charm (Screaming Terror) is on the vendors. Play with this spell - it is different from any other spell of this type that you have ever seen.\n\nShrink (SHAMAN) has been put in to the game. It is a Level 19 spell, and available in all Shaman starting cities. This spell will only be castable in dungeons. It will not leave an icon on your screen - Shrink will last until you zone.\n\nHigh level Bard song (LVL 40+) will be slightly easier to sing (less missed notes).\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"5e2fb8d05e52b6e5a7f841a8d678e5694418eebbb38656e8830cf004d5fc8392","source_files":["patches-1999.txt"],"source_titles":["July 13th, 1999"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"1aa681d1782bfec1ceaa31a03f1a566d9d75235ef1b58fa9e263d8730caa03a1","filename":"patches-1999.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":26674,"item_index":null,"heading":"July 13th, 1999","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"1999-07-13-1","id":"1999-07-13-1"},{"patch_date":"1999-06-27","effective_date":"1999-06-27","display_date":"June 27th, 1999","title":"June 27th, 1999","year":1999,"month":6,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Original EverQuest","expansion_code":"original-everquest","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":[],"change_count":4,"word_count":374,"summary":"Due to the situation which occurred on the CerfNet servers on Tuesday and Thursday night, we have had to place most of our resources towards rectifying the problem on the live servers.

However, we were able to make a few various changes to the Test server, some of which will be propagated to the live servers on Monday. The features and bug fixes are listed below.\n- Currently, when a character dies, they return with 25% of their Mana and Health, in addition, they have a massive hit to their stats. - This will NOT remain true, and we will be removing it next week.\n\n- Nagafen's Lair and Permafrost have been revamped with new treasure, items, etc. In addition, changes have been made to NPC spawning to the them.\n\n- A number of fixes were made to Research.\n\nThe following fixes have been made to spells.\n\nVampiric Curse / Bond of Death (formerly Circle of Death) now work with their new effects\n\nFufil's Curtailing Chant (BARD) now works on monsters\n\nMagician pet attack spells have been slightly increased.\n\nIncapacitate now works for Enchanters (lvl 44 spell)\n\nWizard \"Casting Times\" for damage spells have been slightly reduced\n\nNecromancer poison spells have had their damage doubled and their duration cut in half. They will do EXACTLY the same amount of damage, but in half the pervious amount of time.\n\nNecromancer and Shaman disease spells have had their duration reduced. Their damage has been upped to compensate.\n\nHungry Earth (Necromancer) is now researchable - check your book\n\nResearch for Thunderclap (Wizard) is now correct - check your book\n\nResearch for Fire Spiral of Al'Kabor (Wizard) is now correct - check your book\n\nThe Magician Burnout series has been made a bit better.\n\nThe reagent for Burnout III has been removed (Magician) Tuyen's Songs (Bard) have had their damage increased.\n\nNew Bard Songs have been added to vendors.\n\nNew Wizard Spell \"Bonds of Force\" on Wizard vendors.\n\nMana Sieve (Enchanter) has been changed.

Listed below are the newly implemented features and bug fixes which will be updated.\n\n\nGeneral Changes\n\n- Scrolls are no longer lore items - this means that you can have more than one.\n- Research components were made more accessible on higher level mobs\n- Several items will now appear as \"Pending Lore\" and will become \"Lore\" in a subsequent update. The servers will only allow ONE 'Lore' item in a character's inventory (that includes the bank) - please make note of any items you own that are 'Pending Lore' - it is YOUR responsibility to have those items sold or traded by the time (approximately one week) we change them to 'Lore.' We will not be responsible for items lost when this change is made.\n\nZone Enhancements\n\n- Additional treasure has been added to Permafrost Keep, and some of the items already there have been enhanced - now is the time to plan that Permafrost excursion!\n- The bandits of West Karana are increasing their presence! You'll find more bandit camps there, as well as bandits traveling between those camps and elsewhere.\n- The spawn rates in many outdoor areas has been increased - this should make it easier to find things to kill.\n\nBug fixes and newly implemented features\n\n- Charmed and Feared characters can no longer use skills.\n- The appropriate text message is given while attempting to attack while charmed.\n- 'Procing' (items that cast spells) weapons no longer break Bard's singing.\n- Players vision will now return to normal if killed while drunk.\n- Tree Form spells will change the caster into a human male in a zone without trees.\n- Red and Blue armor will now appear the proper color for AMD users.\n- While accessing the /bug screen, the in-game chat bar will no longer remain active.\n- If the inventory window is up and the spell book is open, the user will not remove items from their inventory when clicking on the spell book.\n- A number of quests were fixed as well as implemented.\n- A Bad language filter has been implemented. Typing \"/filter\" will toggle it on and off.\n- Pets that have been commanded to sit will no longer to appear to stand up while they are supposed to be seated.\n- While in the full screen view, users may now toggle the translucent overlay backgrounds on and off by pressing the \"~\" key.\n- Players may now loot corpses in shallow water or lava by typing \"/loot\" while the corpse is targeted.\n- We have implemented an Auto-follow command. To auto-follow another player, target the character, then type \"/follow\". You must be grouped with the character in order to successfully carry out the command.\n- A Role Playing switched has been added so that players may identify other characters who wish to make known they are Role Playing. To activate the Role Playing switch, target your character and type \"/roleplay\", if the character is +PvP, the name tag above their head will appear as a darker shade of Red, whereas a non-PvP players name will appear purple.\n- If the user drops a backpack containing spells on the ground, the spells will no longer disappear.\n- Medicine Bags, when dropped on the ground, will no longer vanish.\n- The proper text is given when a trade window is canceled between players.\n- Arrows will now be drawn from the quiver is the ammo slot is empty.\n\nSpell Changes\n\n- The Bard spell \"Denon's Desperate Dirge\" will now require the use of Mana.\n- No spell or effect that accelerates the process of mana regeneration will work on a Bard.\n- '/pet report health' will now have your pet message you with a health report.\n- Lightning Blast (Druid) has been modified to its intended form of finishing the Invoke Lightning series.\n- When you fizzle, you will lose a less mana then before. The fizzle rate has NOT changed.\n- There is now a CAP on the amount of mana lost from any single fizzle.\n- Spell Scrolls are no longer lore items. This means you can hold more than one.\n- Tuyen's Songs now have range.\n- Eye of Zomm will no longer work in conjunction with pets - you can now have one or the other. Sorry.\n- Wave of Enfeeblement (now Vampiric Curse) and Circle of Death (both Necromancer) will not work for the next week or so while we make a fix on them.\n\nTrade Skill Changes\n\nJewel Craft - All of the jewelry has had increased magical properties (pre-existing jewelry items remain unchanged).\nFletching - When fletching arrows, they will be produced in sets of 5, instead of 1.\nBaking, Blacksmithing, Brewing, and Pottery have been changed to either return items on failure and be able to produce multiple items and quantities on success.\nExample:\nBaking muffins, success means the player will receive three muffins and retaining the muffin tin, however, when unsuccessful, the player will still get the muffin tin back and lose all other components. Another example would be if a player wishes to sharpen a rusty short sword. If the player succeeds, they will receive a tarnished short sword, however, failure will result in retaining the rusty weapon but losing the sharpening stone.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"e8d397bb881f6520fb74f383e2b5f3b5de8da4ddb0164c99a958a39e4409ed5e","source_files":["patches-1999.txt"],"source_titles":["June 8th, 1999"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"8ea4e0c31396e22010e5a35b3f95d390cc719aff6640cece095d766440f0e45a","filename":"patches-1999.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":18724,"item_index":null,"heading":"June 8th, 1999","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"1999-06-08-1","id":"1999-06-08-1"},{"patch_date":"1999-05-25","effective_date":"1999-05-25","display_date":"May 25th, 1999","title":"May 25th, 1999","year":1999,"month":5,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Original EverQuest","expansion_code":"original-everquest","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"}],"sections":[],"change_count":28,"word_count":388,"summary":"The servers will be coming down as scheduled tonight at Midnight PDT.

The revision will include a new section which outlines the spells and skills that have been modified from their original design to enhance game play.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"4509a5136794f3a8f010ecf9c427c22d42593cb958a72b91c430edf2f65271ae","source_files":["patches-1999.txt"],"source_titles":["May 3rd, 5:00pm"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":2,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"429a31ff0d1d0623cd9a9deb07ac534064eca4ed4675cf3768067227c5887bdf","filename":"patches-1999.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":10785,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 3rd, 5:00pm","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":true},{"occurrence_id":"96132a136b2fb8f4faf4ac7c55626ecb9e7d5cec3eabda54ac744f9e8babab03","filename":"patches-1999.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":12408,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 3rd, 5:00pm","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":true}],"year_inferred":true,"sequence":1,"slug":"1999-05-03-1","id":"1999-05-03-1"},{"patch_date":"1999-04-29","effective_date":"1999-04-29","display_date":"April 29th, 4:00pm","title":"April 29th, 4:00pm","year":1999,"month":4,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Original EverQuest","expansion_code":"original-everquest","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":[],"change_count":7,"word_count":141,"summary":"As posted yesterday, we will be bringing down all of the servers at midnight tonight PDT, for a server-side update.

We have been, and will continue to monitor the load on the new hardware to assure that the packet-loss problems will no longer occur on our end.

Also, the new \"Rodcet Nife\" server was just brought up to accommodate the additional users that have joined over the past few weeks.\n\nAfter thoroughly testing changes made only for Rallos Zek (PK server), we have activated the new code for the PK server ONLY.

Various sound related crashes were fixed.\n4. Created items disappearing from characters after zoning.\n5. Characters able to use skills, which are not allowed for their specific class.\n6. A limit to the successful hit and spell messages has been implemented that should reduce the number of unneeded messages sent to the players.\n7. After slaying a creature, the player will receive a proper faction hit.\n8. Occasionally, after being disconnected, users would crash upon re-logging into the server.\n9. The DLS sound system is now enabled.\n10. A new text command, \"/reply \" has been implemented. This will allow players to reply to the last character that sent a private tell message.\n11. Many adjustments to the faction system were made.\n12. Multiple quest-related bugs were fixed.\n13. A slew of quests were added.\n14. A number of new music tracks were added to various zones.\n15. Occasionally, sound settings would reset to default, while graphically, the slider bars appeared to be correct.\n16. Various safe zones were eliminated to prevent exploitation.\n17. Some equipped weapons and items would draw into the user interface overlays, which would result in the client crashing.\n18. It was possible to strafe at normal speed while rooted or sneaking.\n19. All hybrid classes now receive meditate at level 12.\n20. Experience over level 30 will now be reflected properly on the user's experience bar.\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"d6f7d9fba0bc6418c25af5ca3892212d2a5064da1449faf073ba1146f1a6885c","source_files":["patches-1999.txt"],"source_titles":["April 6, 1999"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"19cde34ceed7caa07ec5493f66ee5d635d64ef1f8fb063bf5296a2bb6083f41d","filename":"patches-1999.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":102,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 6, 1999","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"1999-04-06-1","id":"1999-04-06-1"},{"patch_date":"1999-03-11","effective_date":"1999-03-11","display_date":"Thursday, March 11 1999","title":"Thursday, March 11 1999","year":1999,"month":3,"kind":"beta","era":"EverQuest Beta","expansion":"EverQuest Beta","expansion_code":"everquest-beta","categories":[{"slug":"beta","label":"Beta"},{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"}],"sections":["Other bug fixes"],"change_count":7,"word_count":310,"summary":"Fixed some major bugs related to sound and crashes.

In addition, changes have been made to the decay system of corpses, which are described below;\n\nThe next patch will be introduced immediately. It includes changes to the decay of corpses, and all corpses on the Test server are erased. This makes it much longer for corpses to rot if the player's account is not logged into North. If you don't mind losing a body due to this change, don't log out or let your character head to a place where you're at risk of dying. When you get a new patch, sacrifice your newly created and current characters to test this change.\n\nThe fix is as follows;\n\nLevel 1 corpses remain for an hour if they are not logged in with that account.\n\nLevel 2-5 corpses remain for only 8 hours if they are not logged in with that account.\n\nLevel 6 or higher corpses remain for only 7 days if they are not logged in with that account.\n\nThe numbers above are related to the corpse and the items that remain, and do not include the item as needed. While the corpse's account is logged in, the decay time is as before.\n\nOther bug fixes:\n\n    * Fixed a bug where the connection would be lost after death and return to the character selection screen.\n    * Fixed a crash when switching zones.\n    * Fixed a lot of issues related to quests and NPC words.\n    * Fixed an issue where removing items from the trade window would not disappear.\n    * Fixed an issue where new characters could not get guild tunics for a class.\n    * Fixed an issue where creatures jumping over water would swim on the ground.\n    * Fixed an issue where characters would fly somewhere if they lost their mind when There was no food or water in Inventory.","content_hash":"76ac635377209a75cc0630a53ca60e677340b52df09790e89c12c991aa20e18a","source_files":["patches-phase4beta.txt"],"source_titles":["Thursday, March 11 1999"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"3539f227bb29917a15b15001300a81b108118ceef5996a50e6494c208341143c","filename":"patches-phase4beta.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":5306,"item_index":null,"heading":"Thursday, March 11 1999","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"1999-03-11-1","id":"1999-03-11-1"},{"patch_date":"1999-03-09","effective_date":"1999-03-09","display_date":"Tuesday, March 9, 1999","title":"Tuesday, March 9, 1999","year":1999,"month":3,"kind":"beta","era":"EverQuest Beta","expansion":"EverQuest Beta","expansion_code":"everquest-beta","categories":[{"slug":"beta","label":"Beta"},{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":["Patch server message"],"change_count":9,"word_count":194,"summary":"Patch server message: Ladies and gentlemen of Norrath, it's coming to an end!
