Please feed him. \n\n- Altered the stacking for the Shaman spell Voice of the Berserker to \nmatch the other spells in its line. \n\n- Aura of White Petals has been updated to have its strength as it was \nprior to its stacking changes. \n\n- In the original patch yesterday morning, /SHIELD was added as an \ninnate ability that all Warriors now gain at level 35. Warriors may now \nchoose to take a portion of melee damage that is intended for another. \nWarriors, please type /SHIELD for a full description of this ability. \nYou may find that it assists you greatly in your groups. \n\nCorrespondingly, NPCs and Pets over level 30 who are Warriors were \ngranted this ability as well.

They appear to be some sort of magical portal, \nthough local spell casters have yet to discover how they arrived or \nexactly what their purpose is. They have determined, however, that \nthese objects are slowly building in power. Attempting to use these \nportals at this time can have unexpected results. Experts recommend \nthat adventurers avoid these objects until they know more. For more \ninformation on these odd devices, visit www.planesofpower.com\n\n** Important Notice Regarding Alternate Advancement Reimbursement **\n\nDue to the changes made to Manaburn, Rods of Mystical Transvergence and \na previous change to Innate Regeneration, we are reimbursing several \nAlternate Advancement (AA) abilities. \n\nOnce you log in today, if you have any of these abilities, please check \nyour AA window immediately! If you have more than 30 unspent points, IT \nIS VERY IMPORTANT that you make certain that your character has 30 or \nfewer AA points before The Planes of Power launches on October 21st! \nThe return of these AA points may put your total number of unspent \npoints over the 30 point maximum. Your pool will be reduced to 30 the \nfirst time you log in after the launch of Planes of Power on October \n21st. \n\nWe will be refunding all Alternate Advancement points in the following \nabilities: \n\nInnate Regeneration\nManaburn\nMental Clarity\nQuick Summoning \n\nRefunded Alternate Advancement points may be spent in any way you \nchoose. None of these abilities is being removed, and of them only \nManaburn is changing.\n\nNOTE: Cannibalization, Gather Mana, and Mind and Body Rejuvenation will \nnot function if you do not have the necessary prerequisite, Mental \nClarity 3.\n\n** Alternate Advancement **\n\n- Mana Burn will only land any given target only once every minute. If \na cast of Mana Burn is unable to land, the timer will not be used.\n- Spell Casting Mastery once again works in the same manner that it did \nbefore the previous patch\n- Spell Casting Fury and Soul Abrasion will now stack\n- Illusion Tree and Minor Illusion will no longer be affected by \nPermanent Illusion\n- Fixed Purify Soul. It should now cure poison, disease, damage over \ntime spells as initially intended\n- Reduced the reuse timer on Divine Resurrection from 72 hours to 36 \nhours\n- Reduced the reuse timer on Mend Companion from 144 minutes to 36 \nminutes\n- Reduced the reuse timer of Warcry from 72 minutes to 36 minutes. \nIncreased its duration from 5 seconds per rank of the ability to 10 \nseconds per rank of the ability\n\n** Defensive Changes **\n\n- Decreased Monks' ability to mitigate damage (please see the \nDeveloper's Update on www.everquestlive.com for more details)\n- Improved the ability of Paladins, Shadowknights, Warriors and Bards \nto mitigate damage in some situations\n- Upgraded Warrior dodge cap to 190\n- Upgraded Paladin, Shadowknight and Bard dodge cap to 170\n- Upgraded Ranger and Beastlord dodge to 170 and defense to 240\n\n** Spells **\n\n- Complete Healing will now heal a maximum of 7,500 hit points\n- The Rod of Mystical Transvergence spell has been altered. The spell \nhas been renamed to \"Mass Mystical Transvergence\". When cast, this \nspell summons a Rod of Mystical Transvergence for everyone within 300 \nfeet. This rod is no drop and contains 3 charges of Mystical \nTransvergence. Each charge restores 360 mana at the cost of 450 health. \nA player may only use a charge from the rod once every 5 minutes.\n- Additionally, there is a new \"Rod of Mystical Transvergence\" spell \nfor sale in the Bazaar. This is a single target spell that summons a \nrod with 3 charges of Mystical Transvergence. This rod has the same \nabilities and restrictions listed above. This spell is a targeted \nsummon that costs 400 points of mana to cast.\n- Changed the way Focus stacks with other strength and dexterity buffs\n- Circle of Seasons will overwrite Resist Cold\n- Dance of the Blade should now stack with McVaxius's Rousing Rondo\n- Harness of Spirit and Rage should now stack properly\n- Fufil's Curtailing Chant should now stack with Occlusion of Sound\n- Protection of the Glades should now overwrite Blessed Armor of the \nRisen\n- Blessed Armor of the Risen should now stack with Lunar Whispers\n- Fixed a bug that was causing some applications of spells and ranged \nattacks from great distance to go unnoticed by NPCs\n- Contact Innates (such as Boon of the Garou) should now be working for \nbards\n- Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause helmets and sometimes hair to \ndisappear after an illusion was cast\n- Bard songs should now blink on recipients other than the bard\n\n** Encounters **\n\nDue to the number of Luclin encounters requiring original Rods of \nTransvergence to be defeated by a reasonably sized force, a number of \nthose encounters have been be re-tuned to shorten their duration.\n\n** Interface **\n\n- New Alarm feature added. When you first log in you will see a pop up \nasking if you wish to set an alarm and if so for how long. There is \nalso an option to choose to never see that pop up again. If you choose \nthis option you will need to set ShowAlarmWindow=TRUE in your \neqclient.ini file in order to see the pop up again. The alarm will \ntrigger after the time you set has elapsed, no matter what character \nyou are playing on whatever server, up until the moment you log out.\n- /played now displays how long you have been playing this session and, \nif an alarm has been set, how long until that alarm sounds.\n- /pet sit down should now work on charmed NPCs\n- Added 3 new context menu options for chat windows: Reply To, Tell a \nfriend, Tell a Raidmember (for future use). Each of which has a submenu \ncontaining the list of Reply targets, Friends, or Raidmembers, as \nappropriate. Clicking on the player's name will place \"/tell \" on the \nchat entry line, and move the focus there, closing the menu.\n- Changed /loadskin. It now brings up a window that will allow you to \nselect a skin from a list, determine whether to use the INI or not, \nthen load the skin.\n\n** Beastlords **\n\nIn order to allow us to better tune warders, we have made changes to \nthe way that these pets work. Previously a Beastlord would summon a pet \nusing an ability button and then use level-appropriate buff spells to \nincrease the pet's level. Because of the way this mechanic works, it \nwas very difficult to tune these pets. Hopefully this will have the \nside benefit of making things a little easier on Beastlords by reducing \nthe number of steps required to cast the pet.\n\nBeastlords will now summon their pets using spells rather than an \nability. The series of spells that was previously used to buff the pets \nwill now simply summon the appropriate pet.\n\nUnfortunately, these pets will no longer zone with the Beastlord, and \nwill need to be resummoned (instead of rebuffed) after zoning.\n\nWe have made some adjustments to these pets already. \n\n- Added the casting time reduction that is already in place for \nPaladins, Rangers and Shadowknights to Beastlords\n\n** Items **\n\n- Merchants now highly value the Staff of Forbidden Rites and will only \nsell them at an extremely high price.\n- Dance of the Blade should once again stack with Nature's Melody and \nSong of the Deep Seas\n\n** Trade Skills **\n\n- Made it slightly easier to get skill increases while doing Tailoring, \nTinkering, Smithing, Baking, Brewing and Alchemy. Made it slightly more \ndifficult to get skill increases with Pottery and Fletching\n\n\n** Miscellaneous **\n\n- Fixed an issue that was causing zones to crash in some circumstances\n- Fixed an issue that was causing merchants to behave erratically while \nhandling certain quantities of items\n- Player Character corpses with no items will decay in 3 real life \nhours, not 7 days\n- Fixed a bug that was causing Lay Hands to not heal enough damage\n- Zoning while on a horse on a boat will no longer cause you to appear \non the other side in the water\n- /face (face picker) will no longer work while under the effects of an \nillusion\n- Taunt should be more effective and more dependent on the level of the \nTaunt skill for PC's and NPC's below level 60.\n- Levitation can no longer be cast on Traders in the Bazaar\n\n** List of UI files updated or added with this patch **\n\nUPDATED\n\nEQUI.xml\nEQUI_Animations.xml\nEQUI_FriendsWnd.xml\nEQUI_PetInfoWindow.xml\nEQUI_OptionsWindow.xml\n\nNEW FILES\n\nEQUI_LoadskinWnd.xml\nEQUI_AlarmWnd\n\n\n** Fan Faire **\n\nGreetings Norrathians!

Please spend some of your stored AA points. You will not be able to \nearn further AA points until you have fewer than 30. On October 21, \n2002, all points over 30 in your AA pool will be deleted.\n\nIt seems appropriate that Advancement points earned prior to the \nrelease of Planes of Power be used for abilities from earlier \nexpansions. In addition, many of the Luclin abilities are pre-\nrequisites for Planes of Power abilities. When the servers come up on \nOctober 21st, all unused Alternate Advancement point pools over 30 will \nbe wiped.\n\n** New Spell Effects **\n\nWe are implementing a few new spell effects using our new particle \neffects engine with this patch as a way of easing into the new system. \nThe new effects are faster and give you more control over how they \nlook. We have changed the Display Options menu to accommodate these new \noptions.\n\nOn the Display tab of the options window you will now find four options \nregarding particle effects. The first three, listed under Spell \nParticles are Near Clip Plane, Density and Opacity. These are the \noptions for controlling the new particle effects. They will not change \nthe old particle effects. The old particles are controlled using the \nOther Particles option.\n\nNote on Near Clip Plane: This option chooses how close to you particles \ncease to be visible. So Near allows particles to be seen right up to \nthe character. Farthest will clip out particles near the character and \nonly show those at the 'farthest' distance.\n\nNote on Opacity: This feature works at all settings for cards that \nsupport TnL. For other cards setting Opacity to 0% will turn off the \neffects and any other setting will show them fully.\n\nWe'll leave it up to you to discover which spells have the new \nparticles...\n\n** Alternate Advancement **\n\n- Beastlords now have access to the Mend Companion ability.\n- Beastlords now have access to three unique class alternate \nadvancements.\n- Permanent Illusion used with Wolf Form should no longer result in a \nwolf tinted by the Enchanter's robe.\n- Updated Finishing Blow - \n\"This ability gives you a chance to finish off an NPC that is below 10 \npercent health and fleeing with a single blow. The first level works on \nNPC's below 50, the second on NPC's below 52, and the third on NPC's \nbelow 54. (Non-Warriors must first train one level of Combat Fury to \nuse this ability.) \"\n- Improved Combat Fury for non-warriors to give more value to the \npoints spent after level 1.\n\n** Spells **\n\n- New Druid and Shaman heal spells are available.\n- The \"Your XXX Spell Has Worn Off\" messages for DoT spells will now go \nto the right character.\n- Illusions that are of a character type that can't wear armor, such as \nwerewolf, will no longer cause the character to be naked when the \nillusion drops.\n- Fixed the Illusion wolf form swimming animation.\n- Shaman and Beastlord Shrink spell has had its location restriction \nremoved.\n- The outcasts of Echo Caverns have deciphered new magics that allow \nDark Knights to channel the essence of terror into their enemies minds. \nWhile their initial findings have proven very powerful, rumors exist of \neven greater magics that might channel the nightmares of Terris Thule \nherself into the minds of mortals. Where that power might be found is \nnot yet known.\n\n** Items **\n\n- Items that grant bonuses to bandage skill should be working now.\n- Guise of the Hunter no longer makes the user appear to be naked.\n- Validus Custodus Battle Axe no longer looks like a bard mandolin when \nequipped by a pet. \n\n** PvP Servers and Gameplay **\n\n- The recent resist changes have been adjusted for PvP. They will not \nbe exactly as they were prior to the resist change, but they should be \nreasonable now. Please let us know if you feel they need further \nadjustment.\n- Player characters will no longer lose experience in the Arena areas \non the Sullon Zek server.\n- A player character can no longer tell his pet to attack another \nplayer's horse when not on a PvP area or in a duel.\n- Kael, Skyshrine, and Thurgadin on Sullon Zek no longer have the \nnewbie protection code active.\n- Players should once again be able to use level-restricted clickable \nbuffs on the Sullon Zek server.\n\n** Pets **\n\n- Improved Beastlord pets to scale more reasonably with the level of \nthe Beastlord after level 40. This also puts them into line with the \nlast round of pet balancing, which did not improve beastlord pets at \nthe time.\n\n** Horses **\n\n- Locate corpse songs/spells should now work on horseback.\n- Detect traps should also now work on horseback.\n- Fixed a bug that was preventing manipulation of inventory items if a \ncharacter died with coins on the cursor.\n- Invisibility on horseback should now make your horse invisible to \nNPCs as it does the rider.\n- Zoning with Levitate/Levitation and horse no longer causes the \nlevitation to fail.\n- Fixed a bug that would cause the horse 'buff' to disappear when \nzoning in some zones. \n- Player characters on horseback can now be hit by various missiles, \nsuch as arrows, thrown weapons or the various bolt spells from PCs and \nNPCs.\n- Call of the Hero should no longer put people under the world when the \ncaster is on horseback.\n- Dragging a corpse while on a horse will no longer cause the corpse \nfall under the world.\n- You can now right click on spells to arrange your spell book when on \na horse.\n\n** Zone Specific **\n\n- We believe that we fixed the major source of lockups caused for \nplayers in certain zones such as the Great Divide and Shadowhaven.\n- Hierophant Oxyn in East Cabilis will be showing up again.\n\n*** The Following User Interface Files have been changed with this patch ***\n\nUpdated:\nequi.xml\nequi_aawindow.xml\nequi_optionswindow.xml\n\nNew:\nequi_gemsgamewnd.xml\n\n\n** User Interface **\n\n- The New User Interface will default to ON. Officially, it is now just \nThe User Interface and the other interface is now the Old User \nInterface. :)\n- The Fade to Transparency option should now affect all bags.\n- PC/NPC name on/off settings will now be saved when leaving the game. \n- CTRL key being pressed while looking up or down no longer creates a \ncycle of constant panning up or down of the camera.\n- Wrapping in the middle of the first word in an Item Tag no longer \ncauses all text from then on being included in the tag. \n- Fixed bug with Item Tags for items that contain comma's in their \nname. \n- Pet sit button will now change to stand button if the pet is already \nsitting.\n- Added Item Tags to list of buttons in the Chat Options page, you can \nnow change the color of the tags.\n- Item Tags now appear as part of the standard \"You have looted an X\" \nmessages.\n- Hair should no longer disappear in Character Creation of Female Ogre \nwith Luclin models on.\n- The Tracking window selection color is no longer the same as a yellow \ncon mob.\n\n** Miscellaneous **\n\n- Fixed a bug with /hidecorpse making corpses invisible, but still be \ntargetable.\n- /Gems is now available in both User Interfaces.\n\n\n** An Ancient Arises **\n\nDeep within the recesses of a cave yet unknown to the world at large, a \ndark, menacing figure parts with the slumber that has kept him silent \nfor ages. The eyes of a magnificently ominous beast pierce through the \ndarkness, his memories flowing freely once more. In the depths of this \nbeast's mind sparks the knowledge that his prophetic savior has been \nreleased from the ancient magiks of time, let loose upon an \nunsuspecting world where the kin shall once again reign supreme.\n\n\"My master's shackles have been trounced, and so it is written that in \nthis world that has been so deftly overrun by pitiful mortals, he shall \nbring power back to those of the scale.\" The deep rumbling voice of the \nbeast lingers throughout the cavernous hideaway, the barely \ndistinguishable figure of a mighty lizard moves through the stone and \ndirt and dust as if to leave the gloomy surroundings and find his place \nonce again upon Norrath proper.\n\n\"For far too long have I been a prisoner to the overwhelming might that \nkept me in a state of secluded sleep; for far too long have I been \nvictim to the ancestral elemental forces keeping my master at bay. Now \nI awaken and bring life back to the disciples; now shall the lifeblood \nof the Four once again spread the word of prophecy!\" The footsteps of \nthis great beast are slow but sure, moving through the depths of the \ngaping mountain retreat towards the surface. Along the walls, pebbles \nand stones that have remained dormant for years crumble and crack, \nfalling to the ground as the immense beast walks past.\n\nA maze of dead ends and broken paths twists and turns in the expanse \nbeyond the figure's resting place. The skeletons of those who had tried \n- and failed - to make their way to him in the years he spent in forced \nslumber remain, tumbled landmarks of heroes long lost. Slowly he moves, \nhis reptilian eyes darting back and forth looking for any meager meals \nthat may still be available. As he proceeds, he steps atop a mighty \nechelon, overlooking the bodies that could not defy the magical \nproperties of the cave; fools of mortal thought, incapable of fathoming \nthe power that lay beyond them. \"Time has been good to you, my faithful \nwarren... let us both pray that I no longer need you. The time for the \nrevival is at hand.\"","content_hash":"0a8d6a612a5e7f4d8e6f45524ef9339ae39c98ebb04f7761d9ee5e1d9fc91dc6","source_files":["patches-2002-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["September 26, 2002 3:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"cf085de6b24fdd0637999f7825ca0e7faf914899d82839fe171f7f99cbeb856e","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":367311,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 26, 2002 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"fca077ade65cd6822e418954cf4e13a810810ad628698d57cc0ed2aa10376f7b","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":379340,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 26, 2002 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"51edb6b73cee22e95f874567a4ef623414cdb5b69fe628777a31bc58497f2e61","filename":"patches-2002-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":28612,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 26, 2002 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2002-09-26-1","id":"2002-09-26-1"},{"patch_date":"2002-09-04","effective_date":"2002-09-04","display_date":"September 4, 2002 3:00 am","title":"September 4, 2002 3:00 am","year":2002,"month":9,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Shadows of Luclin","expansion_code":"the-shadows-of-luclin","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":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"}],"sections":["Petitions","Keyrings","Experience Changes","Spells","Spell Stacking Changes","Resistance Changes","Important things to note about the new resistance system","Line of Sight Changes","Priest Changes","Sound and Music","Items","Pets","User Interface","Bazaar","Alternate Advancement","Quests","Miscellaneous"],"change_count":83,"word_count":2746,"summary":"Please note: there are a lot of changes going into the game with today's patch.

Some of these changes (such as the changes to \nresistances and spell stacking) will change aspects of the game that \nmay make gameplay different. Keep this in mind when you log in. With \nsystem-wide changes like these it is entirely possible that there are \nstill bugs. Please report these bugs using /bug, and know that we will \nwork to fix them as fast as we can. But also note that some intended \nchanges might appear as bugs (perhaps a spell no longer stacks with \nanother spell). Feel free to report these as bugs if you are unsure. \nBut please keep in mind the changes listed here as well.\n\n** Petitions **\n\n- /viewpetition displays the petition you have in the queue, if any.\n- /deletepetition deletes the petition you have in the queue, if any \n(unless that petition is currently being viewed by CS staff).\n\n** Keyrings **\n\nWe will be resetting all keyrings with this patch. This will mean that \nall existing keys in the keyrings will be removed. You will need to \nplace keys back onto the keyrings. Keys are added to the keyring by \nusing the key. The keyring is a part of the character, not a space in \ninventory. To find out what keys you have just type /key and the game \nwill give you a list. If you have recently deleted a key, please \ncontact your GM for a replacement.\n\n** Experience Changes **\n\n- We have smoothed out level progression from 50-60. This should \nmitigate the \"penalty effect\" that occurs in levels 51, 54 and 59. Note \nthat it will cost the same experience to level from 50 to 60 as it did \nbefore. Also, death experience loss will appear different in some \nlevels. This is an unfortunate side effect that must remain to prevent \nsome experience exploits.\n- We have rebalanced the rewards for killing NPCs for characters over \nlevel 50. NPCs that are considerably weaker than you will give you less \nexperience. NPCs give more experience the higher level they are, and \nfor the best results you should fight the most challenging monsters you \ncan reasonably manage. \n\n** Spells **\n\n- Fixed the \"You have been healed for X damage\" message. It once again \nreports the actual amount of damage healed.\n- Added a message telling the caster when NPC can't be charmed.\n- Fixed a bug with duration boosting Alternate Advancement abilities \nand foci that was only allowing the first 12 buff slots to be modified \nas opposed to all 15.\n- Fixed a bug that was allowing focused and Alternate Advancement \nability enhanced damage spells to do more damage than they should \n(meaning that both the Alternate Advancement and the Focus improve the \nbase damage. The focus damage was never supposed to compound with the \nadded AA damage.)\n- Enchanter spells that have a hit point component and a stun component \ncan now be partially resisted.\n-The Enchanter \"visage\" series has had their recast time reduced to \nmake them more useful.\n-Shadowknight and Necromancer Drain type spells can now be clicked off \nby the recipient of the beneficial portion of the spell. For example; \nShadowknights and their group members can now click off the effects of \nspells such as Torrent of Hate. While the target of spells such as \nShadowbond can click it off if they so choose. \n-Torrent of Hate should no longer overwrite Call of the Predator\n\n- Repaired some problems with Beastlord stat buffs - specifically that \nthe higher level ones weren't always better than the lower level ones.\n- Furious Strength made available to Beastlords at Level 54\n- Dexterity made available to Beastlords at Level 57\n- Stamina made available to Beastlords at Level 57\n- Divine aura is now available to Paladins at level 51, instead of \nlevel 55.\n- Harmshield made available to Shadowknights at level 51\n- Augment Death made available to Shadow Knights at Level 60\n- Death Peace made available to Necromancers at level 60\n- Flaming Sword of Xuzl has casting time reduced from 6 to 2.5 seconds, \nrecast increased from 2.5 to 60 seconds and mana cost lowered from 600 \nto 250.\n- Unswerving Hammer of Faith has casting time reduced from 6 to 2.5 \nseconds, recast increased from 2.5 to 60 seconds and mana cost lowered \nfrom 600 to 250.\n-Added a new line of spells for Shadowknights, Voice of Darkness. \nMerchants in Echo Caverns have been able to appropriate many of these \nnew spells, but Voice of Terris has so far eluded them.\n-Added two new Mesmerize type spells for Bards, one at level 40, and \none at level 58. Rumor has it that Serilia Whistlewind has recovered \nthe melody written by Sionachie, but has been unable to locate the \ntranscript for the Dreams of Ayonae.\n-Whispers in the taverns of Katta Castellum speak of recently \ndiscovered Ancient melodies. Brave adventurers search far and wide for \nthe song of the ancient combine empire, and the Lullaby of Shadows.\n\n- Higher level PCs will be more resistant to lower level NPCs' spells.\n- Increased the number of spells that can be in effect on a given NPC \nto 30.\n\n** Spell Stacking Changes **\n\nWe've made two changes to the way spells stack.\n\nDamage Over Time (DoT) spells are spells that linger on the target \ndoing damage. Until today two different characters could not have the \nsame DoT spell on the same target. As long as one copy of the spell was \nactive any new version of the spell would not take hold. After today \nthe same DoT spell cast by different casters can affect the same target \nat the same time. Also, if you cast a DoT spell on a target and you \nalready have that spell active on it, the spell will refresh. (Note: It \nwill not be possible to stack Lifeburn).\n\nThis does not allow for inferior spells to stack along with superior \nspells. (Example: Two Necromancers can both land Boil Blood on the same \ntarget. However, Heat Blood, being an inferior spell, will still not \nstack.)\n\nSeveral DoT spells that have debuff components such as Tuyen's Chant of \nFrost and Breath of Ro will not stack due to the balance issues of \nhaving several hundred points of Resistance debuffs on a single NPC.\n\nWe've also rewritten the way that spells stack with other spells with \nthe same benefits (for example, to spells that give bonus hit points). \nGenerally speaking spells may now 'bounce' off each other (neither \noverwriting the other) and stacking issues should now be easier to \nresolve. In specific:\n\n- Warder's Protection should have considerably fewer stacking and \noverwrite issues. Thanks to the folks at the Ranger's Glade for all of \ntheir help in 'tracking' this down. \n- Druid Damage Shields should now all stack in the correct order. \n- Druid HP buffs are no longer overwriting stronger cleric HP buffs. \n- Harness of Spirit and Visions of Grandeur should interact a bit more \nsanely. \n- Existing effects should no longer be stripped off when the incoming \nspell isn't going to take hold. \n- Boon of Garou and other illusions now interact the right way.\n- Spells that have both group and single target versions (and no \nspecial coding to tell them otherwise) now mutually overwrite each \nother.\n\n** Resistance Changes **\n\nWe've made some fairly drastic changes to the way the spell resistance \nsystem works. Previously, there was only the smallest benefit to having \nresists over a certain value. We've reworked resistance in its \nentirety, completely replacing the old system with one that is more \nlogical.\n\nThe idea behind the changes is pretty simple: Resists should matter in \na way that makes sense.\n\nImportant things to note about the new resistance system:\n\n- Resists matter more for PCs. There are now tangible differences \nbetween having 50, 150, and 250 in a given resistance, for example. \nResistance buffs, bard songs, and resist gear have actual value, all \nthe way up the line.\n\n- Conversely, resistances also matter more for NPCs. Some NPCs became \nmore vulnerable to things they have always been vulnerable to, other \nNPCs became more resistant to things that they were inclined to be \nsomewhat resistant to. \n\n- Resistance debuffs should also have more value, all the way up the \nline. For the first time, resistance debuffs now have the ability to \nbring NPCs that were lure-style only down into the range of being hit \nby normal spells.\n\n- The hard level limit involving players casting on NPCs has been \nremoved. This used to be referred to in EQ folklore as the \"Six Level \nLimit\" (It was actually 1.25 times the caster's level, but more people \nlikely thought about it the other way.) This means that in the vast \nmajority of cases, there is at least a small chance that a person will \nbe able to connect a spell with an NPC, even if they are out of that \nNPC's traditional level range.\n\n- Overall, against NPCs that have medium-to-high resistances of a given \ntype, expect to see more full hits, fewer partials, but more full \nresists in the new system. Taken over time, the damage done by PC \ncasters to semi-high resistance NPCs should be approximately the same, \nbut will definitely improve when the proper debuffs are applied (we \nwanted to make sure that this did not turn into a universal nerf of \ncasters).\n\nWe look forward to seeing how these changes play out in front of a \nlarger audience. \n\n** Line of Sight Changes **\n\n- For spells that require Line of Sight (LoS), the LoS check is now at \nthe beginning of the spellcast, not the end.\n- Spells that require but do not have of LoS will now fail immediately.\n- Harmful spells require LoS.\n- Most Beneficial spells still do not require LoS.\n- Bind Sight type spells do not require LoS.\n- Any beneficial spell containing a Cancel Magic component requires \nLoS.\n\n** Priest Changes **\n\n- Clerics gain the Bash skill beginning at level 25. They will have a \nmaximum skill of 125 at level 50, 165 at level 60.\n- Clerics gain Hammer of Judgement - a level 56 summoned hammer with a \npowerful and frequent proc effect\n- Clerics gain Yaulp V - a level 56 self-only melee and mana regen buff \nthat adds haste, dexterity, mana regeneration and stamina regeneration.\n- Clerics gain Ethereal Elixir - a level 60 group version of Celestial \nElixir, the heal-over-time spell.\n- Clerics gain Ethereal Light - a level 58 upgrade of Divine Light, the \nsingle target heal spell.\n- Clerics gain Ethereal Remedy - a level 59 upgrade of Remedy, the \nsingle target heal spell.\n\n** Sound and Music **\n\n- We've started work on the sound and music engine. If you used to have \nsound/music bugs, the first upgrade today might help a bit. This is the \nfirst step down a long road. If your particular sound/music issue isn't \nfixed, please be patient. There's no need to re-report existing \nsound/music bugs.\n\n** Items **\n\n- Items now display level-restricted statistics besides armor class and \ndamage as a red number with the unrestricted value in parentheses.\n- Duration focus items now give focus message when a group spell lands \non caster.\n- Blessed Coldain Prayer Shawl has been given a minor upgrade.\n- Small Cloth Sandals are no longer wearable by large races.\n- Fixed the Plane of Mischief boxes.\n\n\n** Pets **\n\n- Changed Specter pets so they're able to equip items and armor.\n- Pet-only buffs now automatically attempt to target your pet if you \ncast them with the wrong target or no target at all.\n- Fixed a bug that would prevent the creation of Familiars and Warders \nif the caster had created more than 99 in the same zone during the \ncurrent game session.\n- The limit on the amount of haste that can be applied to a pet has \nbeen changed (aka. The Pet Haste Cap). The amount of haste that can be \nplaced on a pet now scales with the level of its owner. The scaling \noccurs in a way that is consistent with how much haste a given caster \ncan place on his own pet (using a Level 56 Magician as an example: The \nidea is that both Burnout IV and Muzzle of Mardu should be useful).\n\n** User Interface **\n\n- Deleting Spells from Spellbook: Storebought spells can be deleted \nfrom your spellbook. To delete a spell just right-click it to highlight \nit and tap the DELETE key. Please note: This does not convert the spell \nback into a scroll. You will have to buy a new scroll if you wish to \nre-scribe the spell. No reimbursements will be made for deleted spells.\n- Item Links: When you inspect an item with Alt-Left-Click, the item \ninspect window stays up. To paste a \"link\" to the item you're looking \nat into your chat bar, click on the item's graphic. That will \"speak\" a \nlink that others can click on to see the stats of the item, as if they \nwere inspecting it themselves.\n- Updated the /note window. The old /note command still works as it \nalways has. But you can now use /note without additional text to \nproduce a text window for entering note text. The /note command window \nshould not break existing skins.\n- Fixed a bug with the tracking window that was showing the sorting set \nfor something other than normal for non-rangers (this was just a visual \nbug).\n- Fixed a bug that sometimes caused a crash when zoning with the corpse \nwindow open.\n- Added UI Label type #74 = Player Title\n- \"Reply to\" will properly prepend a ;tell in front of names that are \nfrom other servers.\n- Extended the \"reply to\" queue to 50 names.\n- Fixed some aesthetics with labels. Percentages will never show above \n100 now (even during a heal). Corpse HP will always show 0.\n- There will now be sound when banking coins.\n\n** Bazaar **\n\n- Added Focus Effect search parameter to the Bazaar.\n- Items that are no-drop on other servers but tradable on Firiona Vie \nshould now show up in Bazaar searches on that server.\n\n** Alternate Advancement **\n\n- Frenzied Burnout no longer makes the pet suicide after the buff's \nduration ends.\n- Fixed a bug that would cause the Dire Charm ability not to reset if \nan enchanter used it when he already had a pet.\n- Fixed a bug that was causing Dire Charm to not give the \"this mob \ncannot be Dire Charmed\" message or reset the timer in Cazic-Thule.\n- Added the Quest Completion sound to AA point dings.\n\n** Quests **\n\n- There is a fellow named Moltak in Sol Temple. Killing him gives a \nnegative faction adjustment with the True Spirit faction. BUT, if you \nhave a very, very bad faction with True Spirit, killing him will also \nreset your faction to a more tolerable level. So don't mess with this \nfellow unless folks on the True Spirit faction are willing to kill you \non sight.\n- Made some modifications to the faction effects of the Wizard Epic \nquest.\n- A powerful warder has been seen in the Skyfire Mountains. Those who \nseek retribution against Ragefire would be wise to speak to her, she \nmay be able to provide information about his whereabouts.\n\n** Miscellaneous **\n\n- Merchants now display up to 80 items in their inventory. There should \nalso be less delay when opening up merchant windows.\n- The Help window will now be displayed on startup. This will happen \nonly if it has never been seen before (since this change).\n- Sirens should have female voices.\n- Bloodgill Goblins should now sound like goblins.\n- Several spell caster guild masters are now teaching magic skills. In \nShadowhaven: Palomidiar Allakhaji, Loewnsaz_Waldalon and Lamukas \nKaesoanls. In Echo Caverns: Kelador, Celerik, Wirgus and Yurian.\n- Erudites of Prexus now start at the proper location. \n- Bards singing songs should no longer prevent group members from \n/split'ting coins. Only teleportation spells being cast in group will \nprevent /split'ting.

Many of you will find that it runs faster than the old \ninterface. It is extremely customizable, and offers all sorts of \nfeatures including resizable windows, fading windows, a pet control \nwindow, and flexibility through the XML files. We decided to offer it \nfor optional use as a sort of Beta II for folks on the Live servers \nthat haven't had the chance to try it out on the Test server. \n\nTo activate the new interface: \n\n* Log into the game. \n* Type /newui into the chat bar and hit enter. \n* Log out and exit to your desktop and then log back in. \n\nor \n\n* Before you log in: \n* Open the EQclient.ini file in your EverQuest folder with a text \neditor (notepad works fine) \n* Find the [Defaults] section of the file \n* Add a line that reads: NewUI=TRUE \n* Log in \n\nWe want to thank all the folks that have helped us test the interface \nand have offered a wide variety of useful ideas. \n\nEnjoy the interface! \n\n*** Bazaar Now Available *** \n\nThose of you that own Shadows of Luclin now have access to the /bazaar \nand /trader functions. These functions only work in the Bazaar. You can \nfind the Bazaar on Luclin, adjacent to the Nexus and Shadowhaven. \n\n/bazaar opens up the Bazaar Search Window, which allows you to easily \nlocate specific items for sale by Traders in the Bazaar. /trader opens \nup the Bazaar Vendor window, which allows you to make items available \nfor sale to others in the Bazaar. \n\nYou can only use the Bazaar if you have the new interface turned on. \nSee the message above for details. \n\nAgain we'd like to thank the folks that helped us test this feature. \nAnd we'd like to apologize for the delay in delivery of the Bazaar. \n\nWe think that you'll find the finished product to be a good one. \n\n** ViewPort ** \n\nOne of the new commands available only with the new interface is \n/viewport. You can use this command to change the size of the gameplay \narea. \n\n/viewport [distance from left, distance from top, width, height] \n\nAll of the distances and numbers for the viewport command are in the \nsame measure as your screen resolution numbers. \n\nFor Example: Let's say you are running in 800 x 600 video mode and you \nwant to create view the game only in the top half of your screen (not \nthat you would). You would type: \n\n/viewport 0 0 800 300 \n\nThe top left of your screen is 0 and 0. 800 is the width of your \nscreen, and the 300 is one half of the height of the screen. \n\n/viewport reset - will reset the viewport to the default setting. \n\n\n** New Vah Shir Models ** \n\nWe have developed new models for the Vah Shir for use with the old \nworld. You may now choose to turn off the Luclin version of the Vah \nShir models and use these new models if you wish. These new Vah Shir \nmodels require less memory and you may want to use them in place of the \nLuclin models to improve system performance. \n\n** Spells ** \n\n- Fixed a bug with the bard songs Warsong and Battlecry of the Vah Shir \nthat caused them to slow you down when used without other haste \ncomponents. - Fixed a bug with bolt spells that caused double hits due \nto elevation. Sorry Mages. \n- Removed the \"Ahhh... I feel much better now!\" message from certain \nspells when the caster is over level 35. \n-Removed the reduction in damage to Damage over Time spells when used \non NPCs that are moving. \n- Mind Wrack will now consider the z-axis when calculating the maximum \ndistance group members can receive the beneficial affects of the spell. \n- Song of Sustenance should prevent unnecessary hungry and thirsty \nmessages. \n- Bind Affinity can no longer be cast on any ungrouped player in \narenas. \n- The caster of Voice Graft will once again see what is being said. \n- Spells that transfer hit points over time from the caster to a target \nwill no longer take effect on the target (the hit point gainer) if the \ncaster (the hit point giver) isn't also affected by the spell. \n- Added a spell effect message to Magician epic. \n- Beastlords now get Endure Disease at level 24 and Resist Disease at \n51 \n\n** Pets ** \n\n- Pet Resistance Changes: Pets will now use their master's level and \nresistances when saving against spells cast by NPCs (against PCs pets \nwill use their own resistances and level as they always have) - unless \nthe pet has special resistances, in which case it will use that \nresistance. \n- Altered pet summoning spells so that they always summon the most \npowerful pet possible, instead of pets within a 5 level range. \n- /pet report health now uses the same user defined color as spell \ntext. \n- /pet report health will now display a list of the effects on the pet. \n- Mage fire pets should now cast their damage shields more often. \n- Wizard, Druid and Cleric pets and familiars can now be buffed by \ncharacters other than their owner. \n\n** PvP ** \n\n- Fixed a bug on Tallon and Vallon Zek that made player characters in \nnon-human illusions immune to ranged attacks. \n- It is no longer possible for PC's to fear other PC's at all on any \nserver. The same was also done for charm. \n- Pets can no longer be affected by charm spells. This should fix the \nissue that caused charm spells to make pets disappear. \n- NPCs who are pets of players and call for help from other NPCs will \nhave their cries fall on deaf ears. \n\n** Alternate Advancement ** \n\n- Dire Charm will now send a message to inform the caster that the \ncharm has broken by Feign Death. \n- Spell Casting Subtlety should work properly for all levels of the \nability. \n\n** Zone Specific ** \n\n- Corrected a problem with a treasure table in Marus Seru. \n- The drakes in SkyShrine should no longer be dropping cloth caps. They \nshould now be producing Drake Eggs. The drakes are very happy about \nthis. \n- The mountain lions in Steamfont now have jawbones. They are happier \nabout this than the Drakes are about their eggs. \n- Hoshkar should no longer appear as a bag, qualifying him as the \nhappiest of them all. \n\n** Horses ** \n\n- Fixed a bug that was allowing characters to change into illegal forms \nwhile on horseback, causing some unusual displacement problems. \nCharacters will no longer be able to turn into those illegal forms \n(elementals, for example) while on a horse. \n\n** Quests ** \n\n- Corrected an issue with the Proudfoot Greaves recipe. \n- The Vex Thal key quest has been changed slightly. Celestial Rifts \nwill no longer be used to create the key - a new item replaces them \ncalled a Planar Rift. Planar Rifts are acquired by defeating the same \ncreature as before, however all future Rifts are going to be No-Drop. \n\nA Celestial Rift can be placed in a forge by itself and 'combined' to \ncreate a Planar Rift. Please be aware that the new Planar Rifts are No-\nDrop, and should only be converted in a forge by the intended owner. \nOld-style Celestial Rifts may be converted into the new Planar Rifts \nfor a period of one month from this patch. If you have any rifts \ncurrently, be sure to convert them to the new style within 30 days. \n\nThis change is not intended to make it more difficult or time consuming \nto acquire your Vex Thal key. Many players had brought forth concerns \nregarding the ability to hoard Celestial Rifts, which had the potential \nof causing some long-term issues. This fix addresses those concerns, \nand does not add any difficulty for players currently working on this \nquest. \n\n** Items ** \n\n- Shissar-bane bows should be working. \n- Irontoes Tipped Beer Stein should now look like a stein rather than a \nbag when equipped. \n- The Intricate Shield can now be used by Dwarves, High Elves, Iksar, \nVah Shir, Barbarians and Half Elves. \n- Imbued Steelsilk Helms now have plate graphics. \n- Large Fine Plate Boots can now be worn by Bards. \n- Crustacean Shell Helm now has a graphic. \n- Pickbringer's Chainmail Boots are now wearable by Gnomes. \n- Forged Firebrand Halberd now has a halberd graphic rather than an axe \ngraphic. Also, because it is a two-handed slashing weapon, it can no \nlonger be used by Bards. \n\n** Dialogues ** \n\nThere were a few NPCs that were not responding properly to their quest \ntext. This has been fixed for the following NPCs: Wizard Schrock, \nSeamey Whirewhisker, Oglard, Morgalanth Tal`Raeloen, Verona Rankin, \nGunex, Waltor Felligan, Nallar Q`Tentu, Lord Nethryn and Cilin \nSpellsinger. \n\n** Miscellaneous ** \n\n- NPCs no longer have a chance to break root when being healed or \nbuffed. \n- /split no longer has a chance to cause a loss of coins if done while \na group member is gating. \n\n** Grouping ** \n\nWe have revamped the grouping system. This is a major rewrite of the \nsystem that should have little effect on gameplay, with the exception \nof removing the bugs with the old system. Players should no longer have \nissues with their group due to the link-death of any member (including \nthe leader), zoning and other such issues. There is also a new command \navailable. \n\n/makeleader - The leader of the group can now reassign who the leader \nof the group is by use of this command. \n\n*** News from Faydwer *** \n\nIt is rumored that the major cities of Faydwer have announced a call to \narms for all young adventurers. News of mysterious bloodthirsty goblins \nto the west setting up encampments has prompted all residents of \nKaladim, Kelethin and Felwithe to all begin preparing themselves for \nwhat they think may be a momentous battle. Intelligence originating \nfrom the Scouts of Kaladim and Kelethin has informed their respective \nleaders of a possible alliance between a mysterious aqua goblin tribe \nand the Orcs of Clan Crushbone. Due to the possibility of an attack by \neither or both of these powerful tribes, guildmasters of all cities \nhave begun the training of young soldiers brave enough to heed the call \nto defend their homeland against all unknown creatures and new \ninhabitants. \n\n*** Call to Arms *** \n\nTarlain moved along through the tunnel at a brisk pace, a wistful smile \npainting his weathered features. His arm reached out from under his \ntravel stained greatcloak so that his hand could traced the side wall \nof granite while his mind recalled the many times he had passed through \nthis tunnel in his youth. It had been many years since and the memories \nof his training in the woodland ways within the environs of Surefall \nglade filled him with a peaceful nostalgia. \n\nThis nostalgia all but vanished as Tarlain rounded the final curve and \nbroke into the tree filtered sunlight of Surefall Glade and beheld a \nmost unexpected sight - a line of Qeynos foot soldiers marching past \nthe Ranger hall and on toward the far end of the Glade. What could \nbring the forces of Qeynos here? Knowing this could not bode well, \nTarlain strode quickly to the Ranger hall, his eyes on the receding \nbacks of the footmen. \n\nReaching the main hall entrance, Tarlain's sight latched on to a \nproclamation inked in the flowing hand of a Qeynos scribe and bearing \nthe seal of Antonius IV. It outlined the rising threat of Blackburrow \nGnolls invading and despoiling the previously sequestered Jaggedpine \nForest. Because of this danger Antonius has lifted his father's ruling \nto protect those forests and now calls for able-bodied men and militia \nto join in quelling the expansion of the vile Gnolls. Gritting his \nteeth at the thought of Gnolls invading the pristine woodlands, Tarlain \nturned and with a hand on his longsword, set off to catch up with the \nguardsmen and throw in his lot against the dogs of Blackburrow. \n\n(Note: Jaggedpine Forest is only available by using the optional files \ndownload option in the advanced section of the EverQuest patcher. Be \naware that the download required for this new zone is relatively \nlarge.)","content_hash":"15130324e89cd35ed6523ab7ba72a1364ac2e5fc188f926071903d02e4e00fcf","source_files":["patches-2002-2.txt","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["July 24, 2002"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":2,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"af0291837d3da0a39d502e0d28652f201cabbb0ca4a0d9e827b642fd156225d2","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":350830,"item_index":null,"heading":"July 24, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"3d6b430b503668a159699000031d9da20c8c05b6f3c338abf2879316040982c6","filename":"patches-2002-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":102,"item_index":null,"heading":"July 24, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2002-07-24-1","id":"2002-07-24-1"},{"patch_date":"2002-06-12","effective_date":"2002-06-12","display_date":"June 12, 2002 News Story: Prexus Server Crashes Entirely","title":"June 12, 2002 News Story: Prexus Server Crashes Entirely","year":2002,"month":6,"kind":"news","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Shadows of Luclin","expansion_code":"the-shadows-of-luclin","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":[],"change_count":0,"word_count":246,"summary":"Last night at about 1:00 in the morning Prexus had a severe breakdown.

Our hope is that we'll have it back up and running some time \nthis evening. \n\nThat's the bad news. The worse news is that we will have to recreate \nall of the characters on the server from backups that are perhaps more \nthan 24 hours old. Anything those characters have earned in the last \nday or so will be lost. Unfortunately, we will not be able to restore \nitems or experience lost to the roll back. \n\nThere is some potential good news, though. If you have deleted a \ncharacter in the last year or so, that character may return. So if you \nsee a character that you deleted a few months ago on your character \nselect screen, that's why. \n\nImportant Note: The restoration of these characters may leave you with more \nthan eight characters on Prexus. In cases like this, the character \nselect screen will list your characters in alphabetical order, and only \nshow you the first eight of those characters.

(We never \nwanted to make it harder to time your buffs.)\n\n- The Affliction focus line should now only be affecting spells that do \ndamage.\n\n- Bards should no longer get focus item messages that weren't actually \naffecting them.\n\n- We've re-assigned quite a few of the focus items to have their \noriginally intended effect. \n\nAll of the same items have focus effects. However, as many people \nnoticed, quite a few effects were mis-assigned due to a tools error. \n(Common, mid level items were frequently being assigned high level \neffects, and vice versa.) \n\nThis situation has been fixed, and the items now have the effects that \nwe originally planned for them.\n\n** Firiona Vie **\n\n- Your server should once again have Trivial Loot Code enabled.

These characters, however, must be on the same team\n\n** Firiona Vie Rules Changes **\n\nSince the launch of Firiona Vie we have had tremendous support for this \nspecial server from players who want a very roleplaying immersive \nenvironment. Players have made numerous suggestions to tweak the \nruleset a little more. We have taken many of those suggestions and made \nchanges accordingly. \n\nWe will be keeping the following rules intact: \n\n* /ooc will remain unavailable to remind people that acting in \ncharacter is strongly recommended. \n* The Common language will remain out, to help maintain the feeling of \nrace-based community and to allow people to continue to roleplay \nsomeone with a native tongue. \n* The Trivial Loot Code and all of the special rules for no-drop items \nwill remain. This has worked out nicely for the sense of community on \nthe server. \n* The one character per account restriction will remain.\n\nHowever, we will be removing the following restrictions:\n\n* Anonymous/roleplay flags will no longer be required. They will remain \navailable, but forcing anonymity on characters was causing undue \nproblems finding groups and other such things that are essential to \nenjoyable gameplay. \n* The language learning limit/speed restrictions will be removed. While \nthe idea of limited languages seemed like a good idea, this is another \nitem that was just making it too hard to actually play the game. \nRoleplayers that don't want their characters to be overly literate \nalways have the option to play their characters that way. \n* /shout and /auction have returned to unrestricted use to allow easier \ngrouping and selling. People are welcome to filter those channels if \nthey prefer not to see them, but the benefits of having them availabe \nis just too great. /ooc will remain disabled on this server. Obviously, \nacting in character on any channel is strongly recommended. \n* Alignment restrictions has been removed. Forced restrictions for \ngrouping make playing the game too much of a chore. Characters, \nhowever, may always decide who they wish to group with based on any \nfactors the character perceives. If your Dark Elf won't group with a \npaladin, he doesn't have to (and shouldn't). If your cleric of \nQuellious wants to heal a necromancer because healing people is the \nright thing to do for him, then you should be able to do so. But not \nallowing these things is a restriction on your ability to play that \ncharacter 'in-character', and a real hindrance to general gameplay.\n\nAgain, it's important to understand that this is still a roleplaying \npreferred server. The rules that we are changing were often as much of \na restriction to one's ability to roleplay as they were a help. And the \nartificial barriers to grouping, especially the trouble created in just \nfinding a group, needed to be removed to allow people to actually play \nthe game.","content_hash":"2f5c68b00512a5d734b3cd638b10e93048c44eed64198d875ae129917be08729","source_files":["patches-2002-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["May 8, 2002 3:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"14bacc856c88ec78606eee4dd73684e76247fb85bdfc6335d44df8ea36e0ffdd","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":319135,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 8, 2002 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"e776b30e558ee6c5345d26cbc4378a5aec9b5dfaebad0fe4352f03de8226b6db","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":330288,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 8, 2002 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"3a18771cd8596ae1f631ac04eceb54e35bf74d648e046340a653af79314666fb","filename":"patches-2002-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":51471,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 8, 2002 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2002-05-08-1","id":"2002-05-08-1"},{"patch_date":"2002-04-23","effective_date":"2002-04-23","display_date":"April 23, 2002 3:00 am","title":"April 23, 2002 3:00 am","year":2002,"month":4,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Shadows of Luclin","expansion_code":"the-shadows-of-luclin","categories":[{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"}],"sections":["Items","Spells","Trade Skills","Quests"],"change_count":23,"word_count":353,"summary":"NOTE: We are unable to patch \"code\" right now because we are in the middle of making some changes to the basic structure of the game.

Recently the Death Fist \nClans numbers in the thicket have increased and the Orcs are cutting \ndown trees and mining the rock of the nearby mountains. Reports have \ncome in to Rivervale that the Orcs are shipping the lumber and ore to \nthe commonlands and stockpiling it for an unknown purpose. Whatever the \nDeathfists agenda, their increased presence has made the thicket a more \ndangerous place beyond the protective wall. \n\nNot far from the tunnel that leads from the Misty Thicket to Rivervale \nlie mysterious cursed ruins. All that remains of what once stood at \nthese sites are fragments of walls that are presumed to have been \nconstructed around the same time as the nearby ruined tower. An ancient \nmagical scarecrow stands at the center of one of these ruins and warns \npassers by that the place is cursed. It is a popular belief among the \nhalflings of Rivervale that the crumbled walls once surrounded \nbeautiful and fruitful gardens that were cursed when their owner and \ncaretaker offended the Gods. Whether or not this story is true, the \nscarecrows warning is true as the gardens are host to diseased vermin \nand the animated corpses of fallen halflings who were brought to the \nthere and buried after their death by an unknown evil.\n\nWith the Goblin Clan Pickclaws now occupying a portion of Runnyeye \nCitadel the number of Goblins now residing in the Misty Thicket has \ngrown. These somewhat exiled Runnyeye Goblins have been mining Crude \nIron Ore from the nearby mountains and are most likely attempting to \nforge weapons and armor to use in a goblin revolt to reclaim all of \nRunnyeye Citadel from the Pickclaws. With enemies to all sides these \nsemi-exiled goblins are being far less troublesome than they have the \npotential to be.","content_hash":"95f5263d71b0155b75be13c3ca55a839798f92543213bed2bccf62b694e18d6a","source_files":["patches-2002-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["April 9, 2002"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"4e6742ca8acf41f6441cea9a88bf1449c61fbf3ad7c973bebf39ca1c16b052a2","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":310762,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 9, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"287dffc44db14d46c417066d9dd0b557405bb3d58d769ccf9f4488e1a7f7c36a","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":321721,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 9, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"17ba605c89691058ef152227e0b68301837f32a4c91f2104dc6c0c0fc3eb033b","filename":"patches-2002-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":42904,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 9, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2002-04-09-1","id":"2002-04-09-1"},{"patch_date":"2002-04-05","effective_date":"2002-04-05","display_date":"April 5, 2002 3:00 am","title":"April 5, 2002 3:00 am","year":2002,"month":4,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Shadows of Luclin","expansion_code":"the-shadows-of-luclin","categories":[{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"}],"sections":["Graphics Engine Update"],"change_count":2,"word_count":37,"summary":"Graphics Engine Update ** S3 video cards: We've worked around a shortcoming in the S3 drivers that fixes the overlapping or \"cutout\" looking interface graphics.

This command allows you to turn on \nand off the \"DoProperTinting\" option in the eqclient.ini file. \nActivating this command should correct most tinting issues (such as \narmor tint also tinting the character's skin).

It \nalso now saves this setting in the INI file \n- Changed the /targetgroupbuff command to be 'persistent'. The state of \nthe switch will be stored in the eqclient.ini file and will be \nremembered when you log out or zone \n- Fixed the double messages received when \"Soandso's song ends\" \n- Mend should be working properly. \"Can not use Mend for x seconds\" can \nstill appear, but you now should be able to use mend at the appropriate \ntime \n- Fixed bug in the client that caused a \"You are out of Ammo message\" \neven when you still had ammo \n- Messages should no longer be lost while you are zoning \n- Corpses that are made to appear at the \"safe spot\" of a zone for any \nreason can now be moved using /corpse as long as the person using the \ncommand has /consent for that corpse \n- Added \"AllLuclinPcModelsOff\" line to the eqclient.ini file which, if \nset to TRUE, will skip the loading of all of the Luclin PC models \n(except the Vah Shir, which always gets loaded no matter what this is \nset to). This should allow players to set the loading of each race and \nsex individually for their normal game play, but then quickly turn all \nmodels off for a raid or other such circumstances \n- Added /rtarget function (can be used as /rt). This function targets \nthe last character to send you a /tell. It follows all of the rules for \n/target \n- Messages sent to you while you are zoning should be saved and sent to \nyou when you reach the other side of the zone. Messages should no \nlonger be lost while zoning (unless zoning takes more than about 10 \nminutes for any reason) \n- You should be able to keep typing whatever you were in the middle of \ntyping when you zoned... but it might not be processed till you're in \nthe new zone \n- If someone is on your ignore list and they do a /random, you \nshouldn't see it anymore \n\n** Pathing ** \n\n- Corrected some pathing in Ak'Anon that was preventing some NPCs from \nreaching certain areas \n- Corrected some pathing issues in Acrylia Caverns \n- Corrected a problem with the entrance from Hollowshade Moor into \nPaludal Caverns that was preventing Beastlord Warders from entering the \nzone \n\n** Miscellaneous ** \n\n- Many cases where characters would stab themselves with their weapons \nwhen sitting should have been eliminated.\n- Player characters no longer broadcast their location when they are \nstationary. This should reduce the resources used and improve gameplay.\n- Fixed a problem that was causing some users to see blocky, unblended \nterrain where terrain types meet.\n- Critical hit messages from spells now take into account PvP damage \ncalculations. The actual damage was calculated correctly, it was just \ndisplaying wrong on the critical message.\n- Fixed canoes, they should move forward and backwards normally again.\n- We have been working to prevent characters from being stuck in the \ngame after link death in such a way that prevents the player from \nlogging back in. Players should be able to log back in no more than 5 \nminutes after going link dead in all situations.\n- Added Sharvahl as a \"home zone\" for Vahshir when taking PvP racial \nfaction hits into account .\n- We have fixed the ATI flashing problem that some players with certain \ncards were having when inventory window was up.","content_hash":"18ddbfc9011bf93e70d2ff7d6d604c30a29d7fd30b6f67a09c5db0f0cd286450","source_files":["patches-2002-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["March 19, 2002"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"57ee0499f2dff7cd8cf4f4353ae35e0e006ba15cf7bf5096cc2dd29e3ccd25da","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":299359,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 19, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"5116cdd9d73309ba069ca8c59705ebeb33d653b243b3ab687e4e910f3b1b64b3","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":310027,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 19, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"ec72135a7857ada18c68106c374e23d9f6c1dc32032a4f4c9302081833e46f61","filename":"patches-2002-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":31210,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 19, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2002-03-19-1","id":"2002-03-19-1"},{"patch_date":"2002-03-07","effective_date":"2002-03-07","display_date":"March 7, 2002","title":"March 7, 2002","year":2002,"month":3,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Shadows of Luclin","expansion_code":"the-shadows-of-luclin","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"}],"sections":["Patch Information","A Tale","Another Tale"],"change_count":13,"word_count":559,"summary":"Patch Information *** Fixed a problem with Alternate Advancement ability Combat Fury that was causing rangers using archery and rogues using throwing to have a lesser chance to critical than normal.

The young mystic behind him nervously fingered the cudgel \nhanging from his belt. He knew what was coming. The hold of the \nfaceless had firmly taken hold of his heart and was beginning to \nsqueeze.\n\nVek turned to him quietly and simply said, \"Find them.\" He then walked \nsilently out of the room.\n\nHierophant Zand turned to the young Mystic, \"Do as he has asked. Do not \nreturn until you have the skulls of the ancients in your possession.\" \nThe young Mystic stumbled as he ran out of the room, visibly shaking.\n\nZand looked down into the empty skull case. Something glittered softly \nin the corner of the case. Zand reached in and picked up a small \nearring, emblazoned with the symbol of the Kunzar.\n\nZand walked quietly out of the room, and somewhere the soul of a dead \nemperor laughed with unholy malice.\n\n** Another Tale **\n\nHalor slashed frantically at the creature before him. He swung down \nhard, cleaving the great worm in two. Unfortunately there were many \nmore were that came from. Bauric climbed over a rock and stood next to \nHalor, fighting off another of the worms.\n\nHalor suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right heel and spun violently \naround, causing his journals to fly out of his pack and onto the hard \nstone floor. He swung at the worm larva with his sword knocking it \naway, but too late. The worm had wounded him badly, he could no longer \nhold himself up on the wounded ankle and he fell to the floor with a \ncrash. Bauric cried out in pain as one of the larger worms bit into his \narm. That was the last thing Halor saw before the horde of worms \nsquirmed across the stones and overcame them.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"2277263158a9774a5da63af8b149da92905800b3f187cf1559b2193044de3520","source_files":["patches-2002-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["March 7, 2002"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"c1aa5affe5264a67f217fb9b62d5687ff2c2265edcaeed8903029ffaf315a368","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":296128,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 7, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"bde98972927115874180c2d72bfd536b16a2f4da3a4634337022c448e239e536","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":306699,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 7, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"9218c9440e9e427dc4eb2c5411393d3d7647a259f2ec6cc16609b7e7d2935b78","filename":"patches-2002-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":27882,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 7, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2002-03-07-1","id":"2002-03-07-1"},{"patch_date":"2002-02-25","effective_date":"2002-02-25","display_date":"February 25, 2002 3:00 am","title":"February 25, 2002 3:00 am","year":2002,"month":2,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Shadows of Luclin","expansion_code":"the-shadows-of-luclin","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"}],"sections":["Fan Faire Registration is Open"],"change_count":7,"word_count":199,"summary":"Fixed a problem with the Gnome sitting animation Fixed a bug that was causing some people to crash when repeatedly right-clicking spell gems Made adjustments for Quellious monks attempting to do Iksar Shackle quests Fixed a bug in the way that Alternate Experience was being distributed.

The Lord Cazic was trying to tell \nhim something, but he could not yet decipher what it was. The hand on \nhis shoulder startled him and he turned quickly, striking the intruder \nwith a quick blow to the chest. The figure crumpled to the cold ground.\n\nGlox stood over him with a look of horror, it was one of his own pupils \nhe had struck. He lay bloodied and bruised at Glox's feet breathing \nheavily with much effort, he was obviously dying. The pupil reached up \ntoward Glox with something in his hand. Glox took the items from his \nhand and peered at them intently. There were two items, one was a \nglistening serpentine scale, the other an ancient stone symbol. Glox \nrecognized the symbol almost immediately with horror. It was the symbol \nof the Soriz, the ancient Iksar tribe that had been the slaves of the \nShissar empire. Glox looked down at his pupil again. \"Where did you get \nthis?\" The dying Iksar used his last ounce of energy to point up toward \nthe night sky and the moon of Luclin. \"sSs...

We are going to split the Test \npatcher and the Live patcher back into two separate programs.\n\nThis means that in order to access the Test Server you will need to run \nTestEverQuest.exe, which you will find in your EverQuest directory. To \nplay on the Live Servers just start EverQuest as you always have.\n\nThere are a few advantages to separating the two patchers. Splitting \nthem up makes it a little easier, as a player, to be sure that you are \nheaded to the right server when you double click the icon. It's also a \nlittle more intuitive for those that want to run the game in two \ndirectories.\n\nUsing two directories for EverQuest does use up a lot of hard drive \nspace. However, for those with enough space that play regularly on both \nTest and on Live servers, this is a safer and faster way to work. Using \nthe same directory means that each time you change servers (Live to \nTest or Test to Live) you will have to patch. The data on the Test \nServer is very rarely the same as that on Live servers.\n\nAnd for us internally it makes it easier to test new patchers. It gives \nus one more step for testing. Now we can push a patcher to the Test \nServer and try it out there after internal testing and before it goes \nto the Live servers.\n\nIn any case, we've decided to move back to the old way. Starting on \nMonday, February 5th, 2002 you will need to run TestEverQuest.exe to \npatch and play on the Test server, and Everquest.exe to patch and play \non the Live servers.\n\n* Patch Message Addendum *\n\nThe command line argument \"/test\" should no longer be used to play on \nthe Test Server. Anyone using this should remove this argument from \ntheir shortcut. Please manually select \"TestServer\" from the Advanced \nOptions window to use the Test Server. On Monday, February 05, \nTestEverQuest.exe will once again be used to patch and play on the Test \nServer.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"30fd9c1803542c47455c044b071309235a21b8614c6abdcba4ec9bf6e43077d4","source_files":["patches-2002-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["February 1, 2002"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"c533a7a3fdc380cf3b622e72ac44ba2a099a64e9763bd8fd2b3761ef11b7db08","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":283585,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 1, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"8e86f617483bf9e6d94c42a9e88b837cb1e9f4030cd4da80e54ada7348e04f08","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":293770,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 1, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"69bb67c0c4367406f4ec79dacd2fdb410db9c3361e3b21f9369f8e97d2513435","filename":"patches-2002-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":14953,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 1, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2002-02-01-1","id":"2002-02-01-1"},{"patch_date":"2002-01-23","effective_date":"2002-01-23","display_date":"January 23, 2002 3:00 am","title":"January 23, 2002 3:00 am","year":2002,"month":1,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Shadows of Luclin","expansion_code":"the-shadows-of-luclin","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":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"pvp","label":"PvP"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Patch Information","Quests","Items","Zones","Horses","Spells","Visual Issues","Performance Issues","New Features","PvP","Alternate Advancement Abilities","Do you want to join us?","Fan Faire News","Congratulations to Union of Power!","Walk-ins"],"change_count":83,"word_count":1679,"summary":"Patch Information *** Quests ** Ragefire portion of the Cleric Epic quest has been changed.

Many of the items had AC that was inconsistent with the armor \ntypes of the classes. The AC has been reduced on some pieces and raised \non others. In all instances where the AC was dropped a different \nstatistic was raised. Several items received a significant upgrade \nwhile others were downgraded\n- Also in regards to Umbral Plains armor, Ranger has been removed from \nthe plate class armor that was dropping and have been added to the \nusable classes on the chain equivalent. Bards have been added to the \nplate equipment list. This might mean that some Rangers will have armor \nthat they can't use. Our Customer Service personnel will trade out that \narmor for the chain equivalent\n- Ghoulbane is now No-Drop\n- SoulFire charges can only be used by Paladins (though they can be \nused from inventory)\n- Raised the armor value on many Beastlord specific armor pieces\n- Added effects to a few of the Wild Lord's armor pieces\n- Added Vah Shir to Imbrued Plate Mail useable races\n- Rhino Hide armor is now Druid and Monk usable\n- The Crustacean Shell Shield is now magic\n- Scroll of Knowledge can now be equipped in the primary, secondary, \nand range slots\n- Scroll of Enlightenment can now be equipped in the primary, \nsecondary, and range slots\n- Thought Horror Fangs can now be thrown\n- Iron Scroll of War must now be worn to activate\n- Cloak of Thorns right click effect should work now\n- Runed Bone Fork is now equippable primary, secondary and ranged.

Setting the \"Recommended Level\" \nfield like this just lets the player know what level they need to be to \nuse the item. The actual utility of the item was not affected in any \nway, this change is purely informational\n- Several items have been changed to be not useable by Iksar. They had \nbeen erroneously set as Iksar useable in the last item patch. These \nwere primarily items that were usable by Beastlords (and were therefore \nchanged to allow all Beastlord races to use them), but that had been \nspecifically restricted from use by Iksar due to their inherent armor \nvalue\n\n** Zones **\n\n- Shades in Umbral, Maiden's Eye and Vex Thall are now considered \nundead\n- Placed portals to and from Great Divide and Nexus\n- Added many new items to better round out the rewards for high-level \nLuclin encounters\n\n** Horses **\n\n- Implemented horse trade in quests.

Not stopping them when \nstunned was causing warping and other bad things\n- Knockback spells, and spells that throw you into the air, now affect \npeople on horses properly\n- Horses now levitate when their rider should.\n- Fixed a bug that was causing the client to crash when attempting to \nfollow someone while on a horse. /follow should also now work when the \nperson you are following is on a horse\n\n** Spells **\n\n- Wizard Familiar spell scrolls will now increase in purchase cost with \nthe spell level\n- Several spells will no longer be interrupted, spells such as the \n'proc' generated by Instrument of Nife\n- Several spells that were not functioning in the planes have been \nfixed and now work in the planes \n- Bards should now gain singing skill when singing and should no longer \ngain skill in an instrument when they are not using one.\n- Characters are no longer damaged by damage shields when using \nthrowing weapons\n- Atol's Spectral Shackles has had its casting difficulty reduced\n- Made some changes to Nature's Recovery to make it more stackable\n\n** Visual Issues **\n\n- Wolves and warders should no longer appear to be very small\n- Characters no longer lose their hair or beard when their illusions \nwear off\n- Weapons should now appear properly (sometimes they wouldn't show up \nat all) when a player zoned in\n- Characters in wolf or bear form (or other races that aren't player \nraces) should no longer have parts of them tinted based on the armor \nthe player was wearing\n- Bear form should now look correct to people that zoned in after the \nspell was cast on them\n- May have fixed the problem with extra mouse cursor showing in game\n- Fixed a problem with NPCs, PCs and some objects not being visible in \nsome zones (Wakening Lands, Plane of Growth, Emerald Jungle and Swamp \nof No Hope)\n\n** Performance Issues **\n\n- More work on reducing zone times for Luclin city zones\n- \"Hitch\" created when player characters enter a zone should be gone \nnow\n- Fixed a bug that could cause the client to crash in some cases where \na character tried to purchase an item from a vendor but didn't have \nenough money\n- Characters with pets that zone (horses, familiars and warders) should \nnow be able to zone from North Qeynos to Qeynos Hills\n\n** New Features **\n\n- Holding shift while clicking the resolution in the options in game \nwill reduce the resolution. If you are already in 640x480 though, this \ndoes nothing. Normal click increases the resolution as it always has \nand still wraps back to 640 after the highest resolution your machine \nsupports.\n- Using 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 resolutions, the /wincolor command, and \ngetting the inventory window in fullview mode are now available to all \nEverQuest players (these features were restricted only to Velious \nowners) \n\n** PvP **\n\n- It is no longer possible to bandage others of the opposing deity team \non Sullon Zek\n\n** Alternate Advancement Abilities **\n\n- Lowered the reuse time on Rampage AA ability from 15 minutes to 10 \nminutes\n- Rampage is now fixed.
