Remember in 2014 when SOE missed renewing the main DNS server for all of SOE’s websites including EverQuest2.com? This resulted in thousands of SOE customers becoming unable to reach any of the company’s websites. Now it seems a similar situation is once again striking Daybreak Games, this time due to the continued use of the deprecated “Station.Sony.com” domain. Despite the company’s transition from Sony Online Entertainment to Daybreak Games two years ago, the game Launchpads and in some cases the game clients themselves (such as EverQuest2.exe) still make extensive reference to station.sony.com or even soe.com. It seems that today, an...
Certain players of Daybreak games trying to start the Launchpad this morning have been receiving this error: This is being discussed on two different forum threads: Error on Startup Unable to Download An Update May Be In Progress It seems the Ops team is aware of the issue as Domino posted this news about Landmark: Ops team is working on this: anyone else having this problem? Or has it improved? @Miss_Candela @hammerman1993 https://t.co/QDzPN20a9P — Emily (Domino) (@pentapod) September 26, 2016
From the EQ2 Twitter: Summer Ethereals end on October 14th so be sure to jump in while you can! — EverQuest II (@everquestii) September 23, 2016
The reward for completing all the collections in Game Update 101’s Fabled Nizara has received a less than enthusiastic response from players. The item, Misstress Zhvari’s Sash of Station, has rather low stats given the difficulty of acquiring it. In the new EQ2 Discord chat which was opened yesterday, Kander had this response: we’ll have it fixed next update. It should have 10 fervor and we upped the resolve and some other stuff, and now they are Fabled.
Players are always looking at methods to keep in communication with developers. Of late, the forums have been less than successful at serving that mission. Community has tried different things, including engaging us on Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit, however these social media platforms haven’t been adopted as much as they have in other games. Connecting the player community to the developers is something I am hugely in favor of and some methods have been more successful than others. I thought the old EQ2 ZAM Question & Answer sessions did rather well. Yesterday, a new EverQuest II chat server was launched on Discord, which...
From Kaitheel on the EQ2 Forums: Nights of the Dead has been activated on Test server! Nights of the Dead brings goblins and ghoulies out from the shadows. Those inclined to celebrate the holiday through crafting will find a new book of recipes full of new house items being sold by official event merchants. And those feeling more adventurous can hunt ghosts in Antonica, and the Commonlands, or investigate the multiple haunted locations! Setri Lur’eth returns, and may or may not have another task for those willing (or not so willing) to help. Be sure to keep your eyes...
