No Barrier message for defeating SoF

Last night Echoes of Elysium of server Vulak defeated the final boss of Secrets of Faydwer Kerafyrm which should of given a barrier message at which starts the timer for the next expansion Seeds of Destruction. Could this possibly get looked into as soon as possible for all of us on progression, a lot are afraid that the ride might be over due to this is where the last progression server ended.

Did you kill all four elemental dragons and Broodmother before Kera?

Yes, all dragons must be dead before the kera door can even be opened, everything is dead, server-wide for all, + order has never mattered in the past, just all server-wide targets being dead.

Piestro just got back to me saying they believe they know what the issue is

Well I'm glad Piestro got back to you promptly

Its a shame that 4182 people could request a new server yet it takes years for anybody to say whether there is any possibility of it happening at all in the next 10 years

We had the same issue on Fippy Darkpaw.

Piestro, can you let those of us on Fippy and Vulak know what that issue might be and when we should expect it to be resolved?

Piestro, it would be very helpful also if you can confirm when the votes will run given this hiccup.

Piestro, can you explicitly state what is incorrectly causing causing the barrier message from activating, before guilds implement incredibly stupid policies based on their completely speculative hallucinations?

Senior GM Zekil responded today and had this to say, which does not shed much light on the situation. The link is to this thread, maybe they will get back with an answer soon.


"Unfortunate, we do not have information on this issue, however here is a forum post link with information. Good luck to you!

Not yet. We're still looking into it. We'll get it addressed though, and progression will continue appropriately until you guys are caught up to the current expansion.

Thanks for the update Piestro.

It was one person requesting it 4182 times. And that doesn't change the point that Piestro can help when there is an issue with the existing server but has little to do with being able to set a new one up.

Do you have a working progression server timeline so we can see what checkpoints there are for the expansion? Some geniuses think its class bp's for some reason.

class bps were listed on the everquest webpage checklist during the original progression servers life. i dont think they were actually required to progress tho. i didnt play there much myself, but i checked the checklist webpage outta curiosity while it was going on

The original servers never progressed past SoF so I'm not sure anyone knows really what was actually needed. In earlier expansions though the armor stuff was just for reference and not actually needed--Velious for instance.

It won't be class BPs for two reasons, one if it was they would of just came right out and said it and two during Velious class BPs where listed but not required which would make it the same case here, making class BPs a requirement, even more so the grp versions for this expansion would be beyond stupid.

Not that is visible to players unfortunately. Necessary security changes broke the old timeline. I'll see where we are at today with this.

You all should take it off your front page if you have no intentions of fixing it. Just saying. Kinda bad publicity to have a front page feature not working.

I believe we are in the process of removing it.

Back on the topic, there is a raid that players no longer have access to that is causing the blockage. We're looking into different solutions now.
