Nilbog: You may no longer bind in Timorous Deep.

I swear, I called it as soon as I saw the server was going down.

[Kaosu]

Hm. Something about it being April 1st.

[Kvappe]

Gem incrusted Ring still in game at all giants?

[epicentre]

Is breeze back on merchants?

Ah, no more firepots room binding...

[Bubbles]

Woo hoo! Ghoul Scribe baby!

[Kvappe]

The new spell file for some reason arent working for me.

[Pyrocat]

The new spell file for some reason arent working for me.

double check you unzipped correctly. Try manually dragging each file from the zip file to the correct directory (spells and dbst both go in sony/everquest, and the globalload goes in sony/everquest/resources)

I also added this to the FAQ because I see it come up every patch now.

[Uthgaard]

Also we tuned resists a bit, so far, it looks good enough to consider resolved. Post in the bug forum with feedback, just stick to the facts.

[Uaellaen]

[winstonmatheny]

[Psionide]

Breeze not on FV merchant

[PureLo]

I saw in game Uthgaard, you said Disciplines were fixed we just had to wait on a patch. I don't see it in these patch notes, did that also get resolved?

[kanras]

They should be fixed. Got missed in the notes.

[Lazortag]

the april fools guise still gives stats. Possible oversight? I hope it's no rent :p

[Uthgaard]

They should be fixed. Got missed in the notes.

Added it in.

[PureLo]

awesome, sounds good.

[Aarone]

The Guise was well played, Grasshopper!

A great touch! :D

[Lord Adamyte]

Are Unholy Coldstones suppose to be dropping yet?

[Loremasten]

Is breeze at the OT spot? Just got 16, then found out on the way to Oasis that breeze was missing at FV. Is it broken or was it just an oversight?

Breeze has been missing for over a week now, but the devs refuse to address the issue. They ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist for some reason.

I've sent an in-game petition, set up a forum petition, and there's a bug post about it in the bug forum where multiple enchanters like you, me, and several others are reporting the bug. No official response about this has come from anyone.

And yes, it is a real bug. Breeze IS in the game; it was available for purchase for the first few hours Kunark was up. Other enchanters have it and are casting it. But now it is gone from the only two merchants in the game who would have it. This means all the other enchanters on the server are screwed.

So far, nobody who works on the server will mention that they even acknowledge that this is an issue.

But hey, at least Uthgaard fixed Cannibalize II's emote typo.

[h0tr0d (shaere)]

The Guise was well played, Grasshopper!

A great touch! :D

Lol, I logged in and said, hmm what is this? I asked in guild about it, asking if it was an Aprils Fools joke, and they all laughed saying just click it. I refused, thinking it was leading to a,worse joke, or prank.

But it did get some people good.. I didn't even see the text about the lottery!

Rogean: You will now automagically levitate when on a boat.



Most creative play on words ever. +1 to you good sir.

[Fendergreen27]

Hey guys, I'm not very computer savy. Where do I put the spell files I just downloaded from this site so I can start playing on the server?

[nilbog]

extract the eqchanges zip file to your everquest install directory.

I installed mine to.. C:/Program Files/Everquest

You most likely have a different path.

[Fendergreen27]

Thanks Nilbog!

[danus]

What's the deal with Breeze? It hasn't been mentioned one way or the other...

[KilyenaMage]

One question ... Eye of Zomms now aggroing - is that correct!?

I very distinctly remember a guildee of mine often using his Eye to scout Temple of Veeshan.

This was Velious, obviously, so maybe that changes. just curious.

[KilyenaMage]

I'd just go XP at this point, and you'll be 29 before Breeze makes is reappearance anyways.

Absolutely correct.

I played a coth mage in Velious. With 'good' faction, I could send my eye to invite for coths. <--(one reason eyes need to be kos) This is probably what you remember if it was towards ntov and wasn't possible past aaronyar's pit, because the eye cannot jump.

Anyways, eye has a thread here: http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=30553

[Tarrak]

You could scout even while being KoS with the eye because for a very very long time there was a bug: When you casted your eye while standing directly in front of a wall so that the eye would spawn inside the wall it spawned instead in a random spot in the zone. So you faced the wall and kept spamming the eye until it spawned where you needed it. I remember having a look with the eye in ntov way before my guild was able to raid there at all just out of curiosity.

[jacobrenchen]

Wheres A Young Ronin? A set spawn point???? any help will greatly be appreciated.

[mreynert]

Way to necro a thread that's almost a year old...

[fischsemmel]

Wheres A Young Ronin? A set spawn point???? any help will greatly be appreciated.

I've seen him spawn in oasis at the derv camp that is closest to sro.

Ugh april first bumped... sigh.
