Here’s a sneak peek at the Game Update Notes for October 30th.
      • Highlights ***
  • Steamfont Revamp: The sounds of gnomish cheers and clockwork gears echo across the continent of Faydwer as the Steamfont Mountains transforms its appearance.
  • Halloween Events: Citizens and denizens of Norrath and beyond will encounter new and old ghoulish tasks and fiends as the spirit of Halloween takes over EverQuest this eerie season. Visit the EQPlayers website for more information about the Haunted Activities.
  • Hot Zones: New Hot Zones have been created! Be on the lookout for new items and content in the following zones:

Level 20 The Castle of Mistmoore
Level 25 The Permafrost Caverns
Level 30 Trakanon's Teeth
Level 35 The Warsliks Woods
Level 40 The Dawnshroud Peaks
Level 45 Velketor's Labyrinth
Level 50 The Deep
Level 55 The Temple of Droga
Level 60 Nobles' Causeway
Level 65 The Halls of Honor

      • Items ***
  • Improved several Rogue usable 1HP weapons from TSS and TBS.
  • The last stage of the smithing trophy has become easier to evolve.
  • The cultural and template books are now also not tradable on the Firiona Vie server.
  • Cultural items should now have a tribute value.
  • The Elegant Ogre Cultural Smithing books now include the Warborn armor recipes.

      • Tradeskills ***
  • The clockwork tailor near the loom in Ak'Anon should now be carrying the proper items. Additionally the high elf and wood elf merchants have fixed the problem with their deliveries and are now carrying their own items instead of each others.
  • Some secrets to making Mistletoe Cutting Sickles and the Inferno Scepter have been discovered and they have become less difficult to make.
  • Disabled the water of terror recipes, the rest had already been disabled.
  • Duskwoven armor now uses the correct thread.

      • Previously Updated ***
  • Gretamog in Ogguk, and Zok Drup and Zok Gleeup in Rathe Mountains should now be carrying the proper items. Additionally, the Tanner family in Freeport welcomes their daughter Josephine to their business. She offers the human and half elven cultural threads.
  • Gralbug and Puglala in Ogguk, Frankle Ironhair in Rivervale, Draan N'Ryt in Neriak 3rd Gate, and Garren D'Vek in Neriak Commons should now be carrying their cultural items.

Also, whilst it's not in the patch notes, Dev-Ngreth confirmed on the Tradeskill forums that the bug with skillups on silk templates has been fixed in today's patch.

===========

When the recipes were first made there was a negative value put in the "bonus to skillup" field for the silk template recipes (put in to help sort.. and then forgotten about and not removed). This negative value made the overall chance to skill up = zero.

So when do you think you might actually have the Everquest Module working? THe thing I hate about patches that it usaully takes you guys a week or longer to get things updated. After all thats said and done in a 12 month period of time Magelo is down probably 6 to 8 weeks out of the year. Thats 2 months. Maybe you should be offering 14 month subscriptions for the same price of a 12 month subscription

Most of the longer downtimes in the past have been given a Premium account extension of a few weeks. So it does happen, just not for every day that the Updater is down over the year.
