All EverQuest Live Servers was down on Tuesday, October 16, 2012 at 3 a.m. US Pacific for a Game Update.

Magelo Sync has been patched! We have granted 2 extra days to all our premiums to compensate for the time lost.

Highlights
  • Look to the sky! While the sky itself is not falling, parts of it may seem to be. Magus Burlshin, who has hidden himself in the lands around Erillion, has a curiosity about these things. If you share that curiosity, you may want to seek him out.
  • In celebration of Harvester's Haunt, look for new items and ornamentations on creatures throughout Norrath.
  • The traditional Harvester's Haunt events will run from October 19th to November 7th.
  • Hero’s Forge robes have arrived! The Cloth Robe Ornament is granted as a reward set to cloth wearing classes when first purchasing the Hero’s Forge feature. If you already own the Hero's Forge, you can purchase the robe ornaments from Keliss Arden in Plane of Knowledge.


Items
  • In celebration of Harvester's Haunt, look for new items and ornamentations on creatures throughout Norrath.
  • Hero’s Forge robes have arrived! The Cloth Robe Ornament is now available from Keliss Arden in Plane of Knowledge. It is also granted to cloth wearing classes when purchasing the Hero’s Forge feature.
  • The Guild Hall Anchor Package is now listed as Druid- and Wizard-only on the loyalty merchant.
  • Removed errant stats on a number of unequippable or quest items.
  • Boots with Hero’s Forge ornaments now display the correct appearance when a robe is worn.
  • Adjusted the amount of experience required for the Tears of Alaris evolving item to reach level 20. The amount of experience required to reach level 20 is about what it previously took to reach level 16. At level 20 you can now right click the item to transform it into an augmentation.


Quests & Events
  • Look to the sky! While the sky itself is not falling, parts of it may seem to be. Magus Burlshin, who has hidden himself in the lands around Erillion, has a curiosity about these things. If you share that curiosity, you may want to seek him out.
  • The traditional Harvester's Haunt events will run from October 19th to November 7th.
  • Breaching the Barrier - Blood Servants should now be affected by snares.
  • Fumerak the Quintessence - Made several adjustments to the difficulty of the Sepulcher 3 Raid. – When the crystals visibly glow they should now display a message. – Reduced the rate at which the statues naturally power up over time. – Significantly reduced the rate at which the statues power up from spells being cast. – Reduced the range on Brilliant Purification from 25 to 10 and lowered its duration from 30 seconds to 18 seconds. – Reduced the range on Allure of Darkness from 12 to 8. – Reduced the amount of damage it takes to break Fumerak's Focus of Power, and reduced the amount by which the spell increases Fumerak's damage output. – Reduced the melee damage done by Fumerak. – Reduced the total HP of Fumerak and the various Devotees by about 15%.

  • Added in missing Hero's Forge achievements for Sylvan, Insidious and Eternal Grove armor sets.
  • Corrected the icons for the Viridian and Auburn Hero’s Forge achievements.


Mercenaries
  • Corrected an issue with Bloodbone mercenaries not showing up properly on Hadya Ware.


Progression Servers
  • The polls to unlock new expansions on the Progression server will now state which expansion they are unlocking, but require you to travel to a Priest of Discord to participate in them.

Just finally patched, this update was rather annoying for some no obvious reason... We have granted 2 extra days to all our premiums to compensate for the time lost.

Have a great WE everyone !
