Patch Notes, Saturday, September 10th, 2011

[Rogean]

EQEmu Launcher
In addition to manually patching files, we now officially support the use of the EQEmu Launcher. This is not a requirement, however it may be easier for some people than downloading the patched files and extracting manually.

This patch contains new files. Please obtain the latest EQChanges V14 from the setup guide, or obtain the latest files via the EQEmu Launcher.

The Hole and Veeshan's Peak
Originally we were hoping to get an event out for the opening of these zones, unfortunately we haven't had the time to work on one in addition to everything else that needs to be done.
- The Hole is now open.
- Veeshan's Peak will remain closed. We do not feel the behavior of the top raiding guilds over the last several months merits new content for them.

Ivandyr's Hoop
This item has caused an inbalance in the raid game, and as such we have made some changes. In addition to a global resist increase to all lifetap spells, Ivandyr's Hoop has had it's rarity slightly increased, it has had it's merchant value removed (it can not be sold or recharged to merchants), and it will be disabled in Veeshan's Peak. We will evaluate if further changes need to be made.

Secrets of Faydwer
Secrets of Faydwer support will be removed within a month. Please see this post for details.
