The mailboxes amenity has been updated to allow up to 5 to be placed in your guild hall. This still counts as 1 amenity. The Courtyard Landmark statues (300p) require Guild Level 80. All other statues require level Guild Level 75. The Mariner’s Bell: Kunark ports the...

In line with the merging of the Status Executor Hireling and Commodities Exchange Hireling being into one NPC who BUYS status items, etc. from players, we are now getting a Relic and Signet Peddler who is like a City Merchant that sells Signets, Charms, Relics and Symbols. They do not sell any of the other status items like crafting tables or formal wear. More importantly, they do NOT sell the Magic Door to the Guild Hall. In other news, the Harvest Supply Depot now feeds into the Tradeskill Tables (if the player is of sufficient permissions in the guild...

Some unconfirmed info comes to us from Vulkoor of Antonia Bayle. Since I have seen the model first hand, I can verify that the pic[ture of the bear] is in fact the new Dire Bear model, well one of them. Like the Warg, there are armored and un armored version of the mount. Also as Valk stated, the crafters mounts aren’t new models per se, but old horse models with saddlebags added to them.

Game Update #48 was not without a few significant issues! First and foremost, the introduction of Smart Loot (an item is not awarded if someone in the group already possesses it) to the Veeshan’s Peak Fabled Armor Patterns system introduced a glitch. Namely, linking to these patterns caused the EQ2 client (and possibly your computer) to crash! Due to the severity of this bug, a hotfix to the Client was released this afternoon. In the 36 hours that this problem was live numerous malicious users posted corrupted links in the public chats (often with the name of the item...
