Happy 20th Everquest from all of us at Allakhazam. We have had a blast serving up content over the years to all of those that love EQ.
The day has finally arrived, and EverQuest has turned an impressive 20 years old! We’re be kicking off the 20th Anniversary celebrations in-game on Saturday, March 16, 2018, and you're invited to join in on all the fun!
While this will provide you with a glimpse of what we have going on in the game, be sure to keep a look out all day for even more announcements and fun!
Gnome Memorial Mountain - Preserving the Past
Gnome Memorial Mountain is a new open world zone full of quests, collections, and raids, and has arrived just in time for the 20th Anniversary!
The gnomelikes are thrilled to bring outsiders in to tour the memorial that they have kept preserved for so many years - finally, they are able to honor their makers. But beyond the museum walls, threats of destruction loom.
Keep a diligent eye out for Belira Blastil, a gnomelike who orchestrates defense for the entire mountain. Should she find you trustworthy, she's likely to ask for your aid in defending her people and the memorial that they've preserved for so many years - whether this involves defeating wereorcs and the Iron Legion, studying up on clockworks that aren't running quite like they should, or lending a helping hand wherever else you can.
If you're looking to learn more, you can revisit the Gnome Memorial Mountain story or review the Preserving the Past overview.
Selo and Mangler Progression Servers
As we come together to celebrate this momentous anniversary, it's the perfect time to begin a brand new adventure in Norrath and relive the earliest days of the game.
Players will be given TWO new opportunities to reexperience EverQuest's history when the Selo and Mangler Progression Servers launch on Saturday, March 16, 2019 at 12 PM PT!
Selo is a Fast Progression Server, with faster experience and faction gain, shorter instance timers, and monthly expansion unlocks. The Selo server will start in the Luclin era, and is a perfect place for any player that wants to fly through 20 years of EverQuest content. Mangler is a Standard Progression server that will start in classic EverQuest. Expansion unlocks will happen every 12 weeks, and standard experience rates, will keep the server's pace more leisurely for anyone that wants to play at a more relaxed speed.
If you have yet to learn about these exciting new servers, take a look at the most recent announcement post here.
New Pack Offerings
The EQ Anniversary Pack (Twentieth Anniversary Starter Pack) and the EQ Anniversary Bundle (Twentieth Anniversary Starter Pack + New Player Starter Pack) are now available for purchase online and in-game!
The Anniversary Pack contains one 40-slot 100% weight reducing bag and three Bottle of Adventure II's. If you're looking to upgrade, the Anniversary Bundle includes everything in the Anniversary Pack plus two additional 20-slot 50% weight reduction bags, two additional Bottle of Adventure II's, and an assortment of other potions. These items can be claimed on ANY server you play on, including the new Selo and Mangler Progression Servers!
To see all the contents of the bundles and purchase yours, you can visit the online shop here.
Returning Anniversary Content
All of the modern anniversary content from the 14th - 19th anniversaries will go live along with Gnome Memorial Mountain and Preserving the Past content on Saturday, March 16, 2019.
On Friday, April 12, 2019 legacy content from the 5th - 13th anniversaries will return! All Anniversary content and events will be accessible in game until Friday, May 10, 2018.
If you're celebrating this year's anniversary on one of our Progression Servers, any Anniversary content will be made available in the era that it originally unlocked.
To find out more about these events, speak to the Mechanical Fortune Teller in the Plane of Knowledge.
Bonus Experience
Starting today, players will earn 50% more experience for the rest of March!
This special experience bonus will continue to run through Saturday, March 31, 2018.
We appreciate your continued support for EverQuest over these 20 years, and we’re thrilled to have reached this milestone with each and every one of you. Be sure to keep an eye out for more celebrations, headed your way today and throughout the rest of March!
All EverQuest Live Servers will be brought offline on Wednesday, March 13, 2019 at 3:00 AM PT* for an update. Downtime is expected to last approximately 8 hours.
Patch notes for this update will be found in the Game Update Notes section of the forums once they are available.

Here are the updates for the last 8 days. Many of the last few days updates are from our now functional item collector, thanks Rswiders!
We're getting caught up on TBL items and getting them tagged and put where they need to go, we'll get there. I'm trying to focus on creating TBL armor recipes first and then I'll branch out to other stuff. Drewinette has been busy as well helping out with TBL items and recipes.
We had some login issues late Friday night and Saturday, that has been fixed. Sorry about that.
Anniversary is coming up and we plan on getting any new content up here on the site as soon as we see it.

I was busy this week fixing issues the site has had. We narrowed down the issues and figured out why they were happening. More work needs to be done on fixing other areas that slow the site down but we'll continue to work on those.
However updates were still done to content such as going back over West Freeport NPC's and setting their titles and adding those titles to be searchable as well. New comments also have been regularly updated by us admins within the past few days, I'll let those pile up a few more days and go back in and update them.
Also today the modified rulesets for Mangler and Selo were anounced. You can get news on that here. I'll be creating the server pages for them soon in the progression wiki guide.
Spells were updated the day of the patch. And the item collector is currently being worked on so we hope that will be available for everyone soon.

- Made the following changes to DoT reporting:
- - DoT filters should be working again.
- - If the caster of a DoT dies, their damage will now be reported as being cast by their corpse.
- - If the caster zones or is charmed, their damage will be reported without a caster's name, and the damage will not be focused.
- - If the caster returns to the zone or is resurrected, these DoT messages will once again associate with them and be focused.
- - NPCs awakened by a DoT cast by someone who has left the zone or died will now display a message.
