Some Player-Written Books Still Uneditable Post-Merger

An issue brought to my attention by Cyliena of EQ2 ZAM and Tuatha of CheesePirate.com involves Player-written books which have lost their Edit rights since the Server Merges last December. This is not an issue that has gotten much attention, but after 6 months, maybe it’s time to shine a bit brighter spotlight. Because the books are no longer editable, it’s not only impossible to edit them, but copying them is difficult as the text cannot be selected — it must be retyped word-for-word. This problem is being discussed on a thread on the EQ2 Forums.

From Cyliena:

My main character, Cyliena, has written four books. Of these, three of them she cannot edit or copy anymore. The only difference with the book I can still edit is that it’s one of the Frostfell greeting cards. The other three are using Strengthened Leather Notebook, Bristled Leather Notebook and Etched Leather Notebook. Other players on my server are having the same issue, will prod them to post their experiences as well.

edit: Figured I’d mention that I did not lose my name in the merge, nor was I ever in danger of losing it during the original EF name script error as EQ2Players shows that I’m the only Cyliena in existance.

From Tuatha:

I have 16 finished and half finished titles on 3 different characters that can not be copied or edited anymore after the Blackburrow-Everfrost merge. The 4th character has 3 titles that can still be edited and copied.

None of these characters lost their names in the merge.
