Here are the patch notes from this morning's game update as posted by Kiara on the EQ Forums:

*** Highlights ***

• Norrathians are losing sleep. Fear is losing its hold over people. Keep your eyes open for events happening throughout Norrath.
• The Loyalists of EverQuest program is now live! All subscribers will get weekly rewards for having an active subscription see the special section below for details.
• We are continuing to implement requests we received at Fan Faire. These are marked with asterisks below.

*** Loyalists of EverQuest ***

• Loyalists of EverQuest is a program for our loyal EverQuest customers. For simply continuing to subscribe to our game you will gain a special currency (crowns) every week that can be spent on items to improve your game play. There is no additional charge for the items you find on this vendor. You will not need to spend station cash, nor buy Legends of Norrath packs to gain these items. Simply continue to play our game. Seek out Alerynril the Loyal in Plane of Knowledge for the current loyalty items.
• The amount of crowns you gain each week will increase for every month that you have a continued subscription to EverQuest. This increase in points per week caps out after 12 months. This is the "Velocity" you see on the welcome screen. The specific method of subscription is not important, as long as you continue to stay subscribed each month. Additionally, long term subscribers will gain an initial bonus of crowns, depending upon the duration of their subscription. For each month your subscription lapses, you will lose three months of velocity.
• NOTE: Loyalty points are shared across all your characters on all servers. Choose which character gets the rewards carefully!

*** Items ***

• Several Underfoot Cosgrove raid seals have had their focus effects increased to bring them in line with the rest of the raid seals.
