This just in from SmokeJumper on the official forums: We’ve solved some technical issues recently and we can now offer character slots for sale. (Something previously unavailable.)

He posted this on the official forums: Hey, folks, We don’t have a big enough population on the Test server to run two different Test servers (one for EQII Live and one for EQ2X), and we’d like to get your feedback on whether you think it’s appropriate for us to allow the EQ2X marketplace items to show up on Test.

In celebration of Oktoberfest, the EverQuest II Community Team will be hosting in-game parties in the Community Lounge. Come socialize, dance, have pillow fights, drink, and be merry. You’ll also be able to tip the barkeeps for some special trinkets! The international servers Valor, Innovation, Storms, and Sebilis had their parties last week. The US/UK/Extended servers are having parties, but nobody from...

UNDERFOOT DEPTHS There is now a new respawn location right by the entrance to the Underfoot Seal chamber where Master Yael spawns. In order to activate this new respawn location, players will need to defeat fire elemental encounter “Saalax” before it can be accessed.
