Hm. Something about it being April 1st.

Gem incrusted Ring still in game at all giants?

Is breeze back on merchants?

Ah, no more firepots room binding...

Woo hoo! Ghoul Scribe baby!

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.

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.
