Destiny of Velious Lore: Thurgadin

Feldon February 12, 2011 11:26 am
From EverQuest2.com: Established by Dain Frostreaver the First after the coldain were driven from their city in the Crystal Caverns, Thurgadin has served as the home for the coldain dwarves for hundreds of years.  Nestled within the northnernmost mountains of the Great Divide, Thurgadin has protected the coldain from relentless attacks, and acted as a welcoming and secure place for many adventurers who visited Velious in the past.  However, the noble city was always under threat, as the Kromrif were determined to wipe the coldain off the face of Velious.

Webcast Issues

Feldon February 11, 2011 7:33 pm 3
Sorry folks. Fought with the asinine sound control panel in Windows 7 for over an hour. Could not get it to record it’s own output. Recording Wave Out is 2 clicks on my XP laptop, but it crashed this evening after 7w3d2h without rebooting. Oops. Last week, SOE got the webcast up on YouTube within 90 minutes so maybe they’ll be quick on the draw again. Also there will be another webcast hosted by Massively’s Karen B. tomorrow night.

If you have been holding out on buying the Destiny of Velious Collector’s Edition wondering what the ‘special effect’ on the house item ‘Tserrina’s Wedding Present ‘ is, now we know.

Feldon February 10, 2011 4:01 am
After yesterday’s update activated the Erollisi Day event, some players were reporting crashing issues in Halas. Others reported issues in Antonica as players were able to spawn unlimited gazebos. An interim fix for the Halas issue was implemented, with today’s update providing a more permanent solution. Also, last year’s quests are now repeatable. All of the issues with Erollisi Day were spelled out in this thread.

SOE Responds to International Pricing Differences

Feldon February 9, 2011 5:41 am 23
The American prices for the Destiny of Velious digital downloads are well known — the regular edition is $39.99, while the collector’s edition runs $59.99. We are very happy to see that the days of preferential treatment for the Retail version are over. Last year’s 7 day retail headstart and the confusion leading up to the launch for European customers was the source of much frustration, so we are quite satisfied with this year’s simplified options. So then all is wine and roses, right? Well, it may surprise American players to learn that customers in some other countries are...

Update Notes: Thursday, Feb 3rd, 2011

Feldon February 4, 2011 9:56 am 5
With 6 and 7 room houses now outstripping the storage capacity of even medium-sized Guild Halls, some players figured out that the StationCash Marketplace Item Expanders could be placed in guild halls. Today’s hotfix changes that: Fixed a bug where players could use marketplace item expanders on guild halls. Players who have done that will have the item expander applied to their personal house when they next zone into their personal house and the item expander will be removed from the guild hall. If this puts a guild hall over its item limit it will still have the items...
