Game Update: Thursday, March 13, 2014 at 5:00AM Pacific

All EverQuest Live Servers will be brought offline on Thursday, March 13, 2014 at 5:00AM Pacific*. The servers are estimated to be unavailable for approximately 3 hours.

This patch is to address the concerns some players are having with Heroic Characters.

Keep an eye on the EverQuest website and the forums for status updates and for news if additional downtime is needed.

EDIT: Downtime is now estimated to be approximately 3 hours.

Gasp =O

I was curious if it would also be fixing the Wood Elf Beastlord's not being able to choose Kelethin as their starting city. Crescent Reach is nice and all but not really the home of Wood elves.

When are u guys gonna release last years anniversary stuff i was expecting something of relavence to be released other then a way to Pl a new toon easier and this years content on the 19th

Can they also change it so Frog Monks can start in Rathe Mountains and WE treelords can start in G Fay?

Pretty please with cherries and cream on top.

uhm have this already happened? because I am still unable to do the HC J5 quest on many chars

not yet, it is in roughly 50 minutes (of this post)

Great, if they keep this up my alts will never get the 40%hp update from the Mechamatic Guardian.
Yesterday, 55%, server coming down... back to 100%
Today, 77%, server coming down... again, back to 100%
Oh well, at least they got the augs.

Famka, what quest/task is this please?

It's a 12th Anniversary quest/task, Jam. It's called maximum Capacity and is affectionately called the "ongoing raid." You get the whirligig flyer control device (Jet mount).

The other quest related to this is the parts is parts task. It gives you are really nice aug upon completion.

Please do something about the horrendous zonetime when zoning into Feerrott 2 (Feerrott: The Dream). Ever since the Winter Patch (that added the random mobs to HoThule Zones) there has been at least a 5min zonetime for myself, and a numerous amount of players. I zone to any other zone, including recent expansions, within less than 5 seconds. This is the only zone that is causing trouble, that I have encountered.

Since you're addressing concerns players have with HC, how about addressing the fact that you completely broke monks? Dragon Force knockback is procing constantly when Dragon Punch is not used, I spent the entire time since the last patch to this one chasing mobs around that were being flung around when no abilities were used.

Like Perspero said, Anniversary tasks in Dragonscale Hills.
Anniversary Task: Maximum Capacity, reward Whirligig Flyer Control Device
Anniversary Task: Parts is Parts, reward Beveled Mithril Gear Set and Mana Laminated Gear set
You can do Parts is Parts twice and get both augs.

Why does your server status page always shows the EQ1 servers as being up when it is actually down for patch/update?

That annoys me too. The status page does show all the servers going down, but then they all come back up very fast, but remain locked. But the status page says they are up.

Up = players can login. Up =/= the server has been booted but is locked.

The status page should be keyed off the servers being both up and unlocked.

The server status has no Locked status , only Down, Low, Medium, High, and of course Missing Locked the servers are technically up with Low population, but it doesn't send a Locked status

Please fix the Monk Dragon Force going off all the time without using Dragon Punch in this same patch omg perma knockback is making me /cry

Sooo 2 1/2 hours over...Can we get an update on the patch?

............................cmon bro, seriously

servers went down at 5 am 3 hour down time is 8am pacific which is in half an hour so how are they 2.5 hours over?
