From EverQuest2.com: It has been twelve years since we first caught sight of the Isle of Refuge and made our way into this magical realm of Norrath.

Keep on grinding, Norrathians – Kunark Ascending is on its way!
One of the proudest achievements in my EverQuest II history was acquiring my Eagle’s Talon epic weapon while Kunark was still fresh, challenging content. It took many months to find groups to get all the various group updates, many of which required defeating the hardest enemies in the game. Other updates required faction grinding (urrrgh Reet!), collection quests, and other solo side quests. Sadly I could not find a screenshot of when I received the fabled Eagle’s Talon, but I do have the above screenshot of when I acquired the mythical version during my brief flirtation with raiding. When...

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

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...
With Tuesday’s patch, hundreds of art assets were changed and clearly some changes were made to the game client, because ever since, certain players have been experiencing missing foliage on plants, missing NPCs, missing clothes, missing city bells in Freeport, etc. From Jamiss on the EQ2 Forums: Several people have noticed issues of equipment not appearing on their character at all, or their character not being visible, NPCs not being visible or Lodizal’s missing shell. The underlying cause has been found and we also have a fix in place which we are working on getting out to you. I checked,...
