Been working on a site redesign since the old site was written in .asp and not compatible with the new service.  Luckily WordPress takes a lot of the work away but a little coding still needed.

Qindaar and VMailce played a bit over the Holiday Weekend, but not much to report.  We killed Breaker several times but he dropped the same useless piece over and over.  We were quite depressed by this but at least the experience was good and made a couple of hundred AA’s.

We are gearing up for next weekend and hopefully better drops in Gnome Mountain.

Sorry that the Site was down for a week.  Moved it to a new hosting provider, www.hostinger.com

I needed a bit of assistance after a week of trying to troubleshoot, I reached out to their support people and in 5 minutes the site was back up, all I had to do was repoint to the database server and fix a few links.

This weekend Vmalice, Qindaar and friends will team up for the holiday special.  50% added XP, more rare spawns and drops.  Holiday’s are always a challenge to play but worth the effort.

Happy EverQuesting!

*** Quests And Events ***

– Unfettered Emerald Excellence – Fixed a bug that was causing raid challenge achievements to always be granted.
– Raid events from Veil of Alaris and later will now grant more progression keys after they have been open for 3, 6, and 9 months on live servers. Previously this would begin after 6 months. On Progression Servers these events will grant more progression keys as soon as the expansion unlocks, and add additional bonuses after each of the next two expansions unlock or at 3 month intervals, whichever is faster.
– Dragon in the Works – Slowed the rate that the dilapidated mechanics spawn. Reduced the amount that they heal the dragon. Also lowered the hit points of the mechanics a bit.
– Mechagnomic Whirlrender (Raid and Group) – Made a number of bug fixes, messaging improvements, and mechanic changes to this event.

– – Fixed bugs that caused some of the add NPC models to look wrong.
– – Fixed bugs that caused Whirlrender Mortar and Seeker Rocket to not work properly.
– – Fixed bug that caused the boss to cast Static Blast instead of Slashing Claws and vice versa.
– – Changed the Claw Attack mechanic. The boss will now warn periodically that he is using a left or right claw attack, 10 seconds before hitting everyone on his left or right, respectively. The player tanking the boss should be immune to this attack.
– – Changed the Static Blast mechanic. The ability will now land on a random character on the boss’s hatelist, and will only choose the player tanking the boss if there are no other players on the boss’s hate list. The player struck with the Static Blast spell will have a decal indicating the spread radius of Static Blast. Reduced the spread radius. Note that the duration of the decal is not associated with the duration of the debuff and the decal will not spread with the debuff.
– – Improved messaging for the event. All important event messages should use the Event Messages filter and color. Added many messages, such as indicating how many ballista bolts struck the boss.

– The EverQuest Team

Been spending Weekends with VMalice and gang in Gnome Mountain.  Been having a blast with the quest-line until the second heroic adventure. When entering the south side of the museum we are swamped with at least six to seven MoB’s instantly.  There is not enough DPS in the world to control that many.  Anyone have any thoughts on how to get by them?  I know its doable but can’t figure it out.

Qindaar and Derevaun have been running around EQ a lot lately.  Qindaar a level 110 High Elf Wizard has been mentoring Derevaun a Dark Elf Cleric.  They have successfully leveled Derevaun from a level 85 to a 94 in the past month or so and currently working to achieve 110.

Qindaar has also been hanging with VMalice and gang in Gnome Mountain as of late, doing quests and getting good upgrades.  It is great to be in a zone that is playable and not so hard core as Burning Lands.  We hope to get there soon though.
