Hello,

We have moved to new forums! To get to them from here, please click this link:

https://forums.everquest.com/index.php

See you there!

We are upgrading our forums!

It is time for us to upgrade our forums to the latest iteration. There is so much history and knowledge in these forums that we do not want it to be lost. The good news is that all your posts will be moving over to the new forums with you! The only thing you will need to do is to venture over, log in, and start posting!

While we can move almost everything, there will be some things that cannot be moved. One such thing is Private Messages, and another is Trophies. We will be keeping the old forums up for a while for those who wish to grab details and information from their Private Messages.

Upgrading was a necessity, as these forums are antiquated and no longer supported for updates. The forum we are moving to is new and shiny and will be supported for all security updates and fancy new things coming up. We will have more options, which will allow us to do things these forums restrict, such as adding a Dislike button, allowing staff to create polls, and much more!

The date for the forum changeover will be Wednesday, September 4, 2024 at 8:00 a.m. PDT and will take approximately 12 hours to complete (there is a lot of data to move and check!). The new forums can be found at https://forums.everquest.com

NOTE: These forums will be locked while we work on the transition to our new forums. Please keep an eye on Discord and our social media channels for when the move is complete!

Do you know EverQuest, like REALLY know EverQuest? How about the lore surrounding locations, NPCs, and more? Well, this is your chance to put your knowledge to work for some sweet loot! This is an extra one since I missed last month!

• Goblet of Adventure II
  
• Potion of Energy
  
• Perfected Augmentation Distiller

• All off-topic posts will be removed without notice, and possible warnings will be issued.
  

All EverQuest Live Servers will be brought offline on Wednesday, August 21, 2024 at 6:00 AM* PT for an update. Estimated downtime is expected to be 6 hours.

We encourage anyone who notices any missing krono to contact Customer Service at https://help.daybreakgames.com from the affected account as soon as possible. We are looking into the matter but have no other information to provide at this time.

Check out our video of the SDCC Panel! Listen to key team members of DCUO, DDO, LOTRO, MTGO, and the EQ Franchise as they give their perspectives on the development of these renowned long-running titles!

Click here to see the video.

That is correct. Extra Life distributes the codes. I do not have exact dates on when it will happen at this time.

We're looking for information on any guild halls that have been broken recently.
Symptoms:
- Items can't be interacted with
- If the guild hall instance restarts, no items appear
- Items must be either restored by a GM or the guild hall resets to normal after the next patch

Please let us know if you have had this happen to your guild (or have heard of it happening recently to others). Guild name, server name and a rough date of when the guild hall broke would be helpful.

Thanks

We heard from a little dragon that one the biggest fans of EverQuest and EverQuest II will be holding a player get together on Saturday near Gen Con in Indianapolis!
Will you be there? We sure will. Stay tuned for details!

Shhhh, it's a secret! Enjoy!

There's really nothing to fear, or is there?

As per the intro, "This will not include Community, Brand, Customer Service, Quality Assurance, Operations, and other essential teams throughout the company."

This is a Developer's Log only.

We're currently working on fixing some post server-merge issues with the universal chat system (chat channels). Once fixed, you might see some unusual chat message refreshing afterwards, and you may need to restart your client if you encounter issues using chat channels / in-game chat mail.

Congratulations to Blanca for being the first one to post the proper location! I will message you shortly with your code!

Servers are unlocked! Go, Go, GOOOO!!!!

Highlights

• The Thornblade server has been merged into Mischief.
  

• Sodden Staff of the Kedge's teleport to Dagnor's Cauldron no longer places players underwater. The new location is still potentially dangerous for players lower than level 15, but should now be less drown-y.
  
• Eye of Fear and all tiers of Rain of Fear armor template items (Dread Touched, Dread, Dread Washed, and Dread Infused Armguards, Boots, Bracer, Gloves, Helm, Leggings, and Tunic) have been flagged as Quest Items.
  
• The type 7/8 augments available from Miacallie Herlsas in Tides of Time will now be in Lore-Equip groups based on the predominant stat they give.
  
• Fixed an issue where "The Golden Pick" has been doing more damage than intended.
  
• Updated Beryl Hero's Forge Ornaments to drop in all of the hotzones. Additionally, there are new updated hotzones that can be picked up to level 105.

• Fixed an issue with "Into the Leviathan's Lair" that wouldn't allow you to accept the quest with the correct amount of people in your group.
  
• Reduced the melee and spell damage done by NPCs from level 30 to 75 in heroic adventures, including the Tides of Time, that use the "Normal" heroic adventures table.
  
• Tides of Time (Heroic Adventures): Reduced the damage of spells cast within the Tides of Time. The level 60 range will see the most significant change.
  
• Fixed an error in the spell damage scalar for NPCs above level 120. This will result in increased spell damage in heroic adventures when an NPC is above level 120.
  
• Added a minimum level to Franklin Teek hotzone quests.
  

• Buffs that are too powerful for a mercenary will now be removed when it is unsuspended.

• Corrected an issue with the Tribute Gain Modifier not affecting guild tribute donations.
  
• Improved world performance when a large number of players are online.
  
• Weapons will no longer give a damage bonus if they are equipped but unusable.
  
• Optimized spell processing which should result in increased zone performance.
  
• Made performance improvements to the Tradeskill Depot.
  
• Added the option to use /who on a player by clicking their name in a chat window.

• Updated the server select screen to fit a resolution of 1024x768.
  
• With the New UI Engine display option disabled, most in-game windows will now save their positions distinctly for each desktop window mode: restored, maximized, and fullscreen. Notable exceptions that are not yet fixed include: Main Chat Window.
  
• Fixed an issue where some game windows would reopen automatically after the player closes them.
  
• Fixed a visual artifact where the cursor would incorrectly display the previously held item.
  
• Reduced game hitching when using ALT+TAB while in full screen mode.
  
• Fixed a bug that unmaximized the game's desktop window if it was minimized.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the game's desktop window to unminimize when it was deactivated.
  

• The game's desktop window once again correctly toggles between maximized and minimized state.
  
• The game client no longer crashes when spamming the WINDOWS+D key.
  

Where is this ominous archway found? Be precise (full zone name).
