Anyone playing the game with a Diamond Viper V330 videocard should go to Diamond's webpage (www.diamondmm.com) and get the latest drivers. Their newest drivers fix some crash bugs (like walking from one zone to another, and some random crashes) and should make EverQuest much more stable. With perhaps a few exception…

We are starting to build up the Game Master (GM) infrastructure for EverQuest. If you require assistance in-game, use the /petition <msg> command -- all GMs online will receive your message and you will be helped as soon as possible -- using the /tell command to solicit help from a GM is no longer legal.

Changes: Bash no longer guarantees that something will be stunned, which means it is more difficult to keep an NPC bashed, but the NPCs will also have a harder t…

New keyboard shortcuts: (These work when the chatbar is NOT up, just like "Z" now) "T" = Target nearest entity (Player or NPC), "N" = Target nearest NPC, "U" = Use center of view, which is just like a double-left click at the center of the 3dview. Which has many uses, such as opening a door, starting a transaction w…
