Five EverQuest Devs, One Chat Room

Actually it said he was kicked by Piestro. He was the only one that was kicked. And he wasn't being rude. He just made a joke.

Ty for the dev chat

Tl; Dr option

Hot t3 and t4 unlocked to all
Some type of hide player command is inc
Heroic characters disclosure coming early march
No plans for druid mana harvest

That's all I remember. I asked if plane of war would be hard with phat lewtz but got no answer

They give an eta for the unlock?

Heh... me too. At birth. (never thought much of it)

ETA Feb 19th. Dex got kicked right after suggesting it be Feb 29th instead !

Asking for the patch to go live February 29th is totally prima facie funny.
No doubt.

I saw that in chat myself.. kicked for asking on a leap year day.. haha.. that was pretty funny

So since you guys (SOE/dev) initiated this chat, is it possible to get an actual log posted on the forums now? Or has someone already done that somewhere else?

I think the message is clear, "don't joke with the powers that be or you will be removed from the discussion". I get the same message from my wife !

I had to leave early and missed this reply. I actually can't find any reply to this in the logs either doing a simple word search (Ctrl F for various words like "druid", "mana", or "harvest". Can you point me in the direction or something of their response?

They said there were no plans at the moment for druid burst mana towards the very end of the chat, I think.

I went through the logs, cleaned them up, and paired up the player questions with the developer responses. You can find the transcript here:

Thanks Rorce!

Argon1: Piestro can u tell me if there is any plans to give druids a fast mana regen?
Elidroth SOE: We don't have any plans to give Druids a fast mana regen ability at this time.

I don't know where I should post this but I read the transcript and saw they were taking suggestions for a new special rules server, I am totally on board with the No merc, and content stopped at pop idea. I just wanna throw in maybe stopping content one expansion further at LDoN. Leader boards and more group content other than the standard poearth AA grinds. Not to mention the fun of farming augs! Just an idea hope someone sees this and likes it.

Even as an offhand comment, the fact a dev seemed interested in the idea of a progression server locked at PoP made me giddy. Make it happen!
