Remember When?

Remember when old ones died and new were born
And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
We came together, fell apart
And broke each other's hearts
Remember when

--Orcish lament (traditional)

Note: all old hotzones have been unflagged as such in the database. Is http://everquest.allakhazam.com/wiki/EQ:Hotzones up to date with the current active set in the game?

Our understanding here is that per level bracket of a hotzone there will be 3 alternating choices that switch up every 3 months. So if month 1 is option A then month 2 will either switch to option B or C. Let's say it was C for our example. Then month 3 comes along and it will go to either A or B (as C was the active one).

If this is indeed how it works... it will probably result in the database showing all 3 of those zones as a hotzone with something like "This zone alternates with zone B and zone C as a hotzone. See Franklin Teek in PoK to find out which is currently active as a hotzone" (and probably point to that wiki link too).   --just being realistic that having all the hotzones updated right away every 3 months (or more) that they change may not happen in a timely fashion. Thoughts?

What's Your Best Fabled Story?

My personal favourite fabled story was getting my first fabled mob the very first year they did it: Fabled Mootu. My ranger was very low-level at the time and it was one of those fights that I ended up with like 5% health. I wore that fabled cloth cap for the next 30 levels (even though upgrades were easily out there). I'm not as fond of the newer fabled with all the level restrictions on the gear as they tend to start a bit high.

I'd like to see them "twice-fabled" the NPC starting with the first wave so that vanilla NPC would drop their current fabled plus a twice-fabled that was interesting to the level 85-90 crowd for the easier kills and 105+ for the "hard" stuff to get. Note that not adding new fabled NPC, just adding more loot candy isn't as big of an ask devlopment wise to breathe new life into this annual event. Thoughts?

Identifying Goblins

We could use new/better pics of most of the goblinkind in Norrath. Some goblin entries appear to be crossed up (i.e., Kunark pic posted for the last 9 years under old-world goblin). If submitting images is your thing, please help. If looking at goblins and saying if the pic is accurate is your thing, please feel free to post under goblins that are represented incorrectly.

Goblins deserve to be known for who they are. They think we'll be good to eat. Goblin Rights Now!

Longstanding Typos?

No offense to Guard Noonshadow, but he is the only NPC in the game with the word "noon" in his/her/its name. Most of the other Kelethin NPC have the typical moon/stream/wood/sun type of names we expect from the elf-fantasy genre. Was he supposed to be Moonshadow? Noonshadow makes some sense of course, so maybe it's a stretch calling it a typo.

Any other longstanding typos out there that drive you crazy or make you laugh?
