This hotfix was pushed to live servers last night:

*** Hotfix ***

- Korucust's Royal Pain - Lowered the difficulty of NPCs in this mission.
- Liquid Courage - Fixed an issue that was causing the bonus objective to be awarded to the incorrect person (or nobody).
- The triggered version of the Iksar broodling in the Plane of Fear that's spawned via the harbinger of Fear will now properly drop the Child's Tear instead of a citizenship token.
- Fixed several epic 1.0 quest turn-ins that were made non-multi-questable in the last update.

Shortly before the sale of Sony Online Entertainment - now Daybreak Games - was announced, the word went out: SOE Live wasn't happening this year. Formerly known as Fan Faire, the annual gathering of players and SOE developers to celebrate their favorite games had become a vacation mainstay for many people.

After the announcement a dedicated group of players decided to pick up the project themselves. Project Fan Faire is in motion, but because there no big backers, they are running a Kickstarter in an attempt to fund the event. Tickets include admission to the event, three catered meals, and access to all player panels.

• DATES: August 14-16, 2015 
• LOCATION: South Point Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas
• COST: $174

For more information, like Project Fan Faire on Facebook, or check out their website or Kickstarter!

It may be April Fool's Day today, but this is no joke: The Plane of Mischief received a surprise update today - a quasi-reversion to its long-past state (more), bringing back a few old quests. Some original NPCs don't appear to be present and the respawn timer is reportedly different from that of its original version, so this may have been a manual update rather than a full-on reversion.

Update, April 2: The zone is now back in its regular form.
