As far as I can determine the loyalty vendor was added to EQ in Sept 2010 House of Thule was launched Oct 2010 So the loyalty vendor was added to the game during the Underfoot expansion Does this mean that the Loyalty Vendor will be available on progression servers as soon as Underfoot launches? Hoping to pick up some AC augs for my toons on Fippy as I am playing level/gear catchup Raising this issue now as I certainly would have made significantly different choices if Thatch Jerden had been live on Fippy a few weeks earlier, or we had at least been notified that he would be in game (with a time schedule)
Not based upon any evidence I could find e.g. this NPC listing http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=35557 Comments start in September 2010 Also this news item http://www.paullynch.org/tnzfaq/?page_id=395 (overall domain is legitimate, not sure the origin of the content) There is very little on the vendor that would be relevant during GoD, maybe there was a different one (I played then a bit but might certainly have missed something)
Oh i know it wasnt supposed to come out until underfoot but it was there when GoD launched for a few hours enough time for savvy people to load up on phosphenes.
