Feldon We’re still 1 week away from Game Update 60 and Today’s update fixes a few outstanding bugs, specifically a Public Quest Participation loot bug, as well as handing out those five 7-day Research Potions to make up for the Research Assistants going on holiday while the servers were inaccessible.

Thanks for the update notes. EQ2 forum Game Update Notes topic is still stuck on last week.
Wait a minute…
A gift, sweet… too bad it’s again a marketplace gift… what about something relating to the game ?…
Tired to always get thing for play less (or dont play), quicker reward…
Where is the game ?
Work more for Add news thing, than way to skip thing please !!!
Unhappy about this research potion that s one more feathure for kill game content. One more step in the wrong way.
Game Update 60. Coming on May 31st. Biggest Game Update in years.
How would the potion kill game content Lathain? It makes up for the downtime, there is no reason why subscribers who paid money should just lose their research time that they had set because the servers were taken offline. Are those potions usable by all chars? Or only claimable by one?
It is nice that SoE is making up for our loss time. Masters aren’t a requirement, nor will they kill the game, because in EQ1 we originally bought our spells from players who got them as loot drops, and there were no Sages and no version upgrades before Serpent Spine etc. expansions…
*lost* time… lol
“A gift, sweet… too bad it’s again a marketplace gift… what about something relating to the game ?…”
Huh?
The research potion appears (at least at present) to be a one time gift to make up for the fact that the research timers didn’t run correctly while the game was down. There has been no mention nor (to my knowledge) any intent to put them on station cash now or ever.
