Progression Server Changes

Roshen posted the following on the official Everquest Forums today:

 

Hey all,

We’re grateful for the continued support for progression servers like Ragefire, Lockjaw, and Phinigel. We’re always working to improve and update EverQuest for all of our players, and we’ve got some updates that we’re rolling out for progression servers this year. Since things will be different than what some players on Ragefire, Lockjaw, and Phinigel are expecting, we wanted to get this conversation started early and explain why the team has decided to make these changes.

EQ Update #30 2016

Looking For Answers?


Have we finally got all of the Heroic Adventure versions of The Broken Mirror zones up?

Are the tasks correctly linked?

Some zones we have decent NPC populations for, others we have very few.

Lastly... is the item collector working? I haven't seen any new entries in a while, which really cuts down on the updates. I personally have barely played in a few months, so we need the regulars to let us know what is happening. If it is broke... please go to sitefeedback forum and post.


Also, it's important for the general EQ forum to have some post traffic that isn't initiated by an ADMN. Let's call it optics.

The Tale of Lanys T`Vyl

If there's one thing that seems to add ambiance to Everquest, it's the rich lore that surrounds the game.  With every expanion, the story grows.  Quests revolve around the game lore, even the character races weave into the fabric of the game's story. 

Tonight, while sitting in POK, I saw the following message from GM/Guide Oldurn. It's been a while since I attended one of these story events, and back in the day when I was a Guide (yes, I admit it..) I loved to participate and run quest events for the players.  So, of course, intrigued, I decided to attend and listen to the story below.  Since we're in a slow week here, I thought I'd share it here for anyone who cares to enjoy...

[Thu Apr 14 22:05:26 2016] Oldurn murmurs, Those who delve into knowledge and lore, I have a story to weave upon your ears, meet me near the Large bank in PoK  to hear my tale.

EQ Update #28 2016

 

Are you worthy to wield?

Soulfire.

Having never played a paladin (yet) in Everquest, it is easy to miss some of the unique flavor the devs put into the game. Clearly a great deal of care was put into crafting the quest chain that is Soulfire. Thanks to user Death Templars significant input, I was able to massively update the faction impact of this quest. Reading the write up, put together thanks to past users, it made me really want to do the quest... to the point that I might even consider doing it on a non-paladin (true trophy hunting when you do it for an item your character can't even equip). Maybe this finally compels me to play a Paladin...

So a very belated /salute to the dev team from way back that implemented what is one of the most lore-drenched quests in the game.

Who's got a Soulfire? When was the last time you punished some Innoruuk worshippers or undead with it?

Do You Hate the New* Freeport?

 

*(well it's not that new... how about "revised version")

Vendors Outside the Hall of Truth

You could always do what Death Templar did... do a bunch of quests involving the city and kill half the citizens. Sounds like a fun afternoon.
