_____________________


*** Highlights ***

- Norrathians are losing sleep. Fear is losing its hold over people. Keep your eyes open for events happening throughout Norrath.
- The Loyalists of EverQuest program is now live! All subscribers will get weekly rewards for having an active subscription - see the special section below for details.
- We are continuing to implement requests we received at Fan Faire. These are marked with asterisks below.


*** Loyalists of EverQuest ***

- Loyalists of EverQuest is a program for our loyal EverQuest customers. For simply continuing to subscribe to our game you will gain a special currency (crowns) every week that can be spent on items to improve your game play. There is no additional charge for the items you find on this vendor. You will not need to spend station cash, nor buy Legends of Norrath packs to gain these items. Simply continue to play our game. Seek out Alerynril the Loyal in Plane of Knowledge for the current loyalty items.

- The amount of crowns you gain each week will increase for every month that you have a continued subscription to EverQuest. This increase in points per week caps out after 12 months. This is the "Velocity" you see on the welcome screen. The specific method of subscription is not important, as long as you continue to stay subscribed each month. Additionally, long term subscribers will gain an initial bonus of crowns, depending upon the duration of their subscription. For each month your subscription lapses, you will lose three months of velocity.

- NOTE: Loyalty points are shared across all your characters on all servers. Choose which character gets the rewards carefully!


*** Items ***

- Several Underfoot Cosgrove raid seals have had their focus effects increased to bring them in line with the rest of the raid seals.
- Whirlwind now has a level cap on its stun component.


*** Quests & Events ***

- Trial of Creation - Lowered the radius on the Jeweled Golem's AE spell by 33 percent.*
- Unstable Creation - Corrected errors in the challenge mode transition for this event. Restored the second chest when it is defeated in challenge mode.
- The First Creation - The First Creation has had his wild rampage damage reduced. His normal rampage damage was not changed.*
- The First Creation - Once the healing phase of his event begins, The First Creation will summon skirmishers less often.*


*** Spells ***

- Paladin - The Aurora line of spells will now generate a minimal amount of hate when used. They should be otherwise unaffected.
- Shaman - Feralization will now reduce target accuracy for all melee skills rather than just one hand blunt.


*** Miscellaneous ***

- Improved the pathing in Discord to help reduce warping issues with Pallorax and other NPCs in the zone.*


*** UI ***

- Updated icon files.

- Changed -
EQUI_Animations.xml


*** Previously Updated ***

- Changed several Underfoot raids to make them easier*.


- The EverQuest Team

Cool.

Course, this unannounced patch cost my shaman alt 25aa by not allowing me to burn a lesson before work. Oh Nos!

This loyalty thing sounds really cool. I hope they continually add stuff to it like they've done the marketplace and LoN.

Aiyee

Unannounced? Yeah, it was surprising it wasn't on the patcher or forums but it was announced long ago. When the server merge for today was announced it was said was being done today since was also a patch day. Plus for the last year or so monthly patches have been on the 2nd tuesday night/ wednesday morning.

MESSAGE OF THE DAY: We are aware of the issues with incorrect Crown counts affecting many players. We are working on this and hope to have a fix pushed tomorrow.

Incoming Patch...

She's now MIA from PoK and my Crown count has been cut to 300...

count isn't as important as velocity. at max velocity people should be getting 120 a week. and if one has been subscribed for the past 12 months, velocity should be maxed. Is the velocity fixed? it wasn't on Test the last I checked.

Drazzminius
09-09-2010, 07:28 PM
Nope, not fixed. My account has been active for 3+ years (since I returned from my last deployment) and I've had a character logged on almost every day during that period. My velocity reads about 1%...

from what i read it says velocity is awarded by subscribing not by amount logging on and im sure we alll start at 1% and build from there for each month we subscribe so it will take a year to get max velocity, but for all the old farts who have been long term subscribers then they gave you a lump sum deposit;)

That makes sense.

Was kinda hoping for more from the start - I'm greedy. :D

I am guessing your saw this, but cross posting in case:
We are working on the people with bad balances, and hope to have them fixed by tomorrow.

In the short term, to prevent issues that arise with people using the system while we are changing data in the system, the vendors have been killed. We will bring them back when we are more confident in the data.

We apologise for the growing pains in this new system.

What people should expect to have is from the following table:

FROM TO LOYALTY_BALANCE
0 30 0
31 58 5
59 89 15
90 119 25
120 150 40
151 180 55
181 211 75
212 242 100
243 272 130
273 303 165
304 333 205
334 364 250
365 inf 300

From and To are the amount of days you have had a subscription in the least 365 days.

INTIAL Velocity is very similar

FROM TO MOMENTUM
0 30 0
31 58 1
59 89 2
90 119 3
120 150 4
151 180 5
181 211 6
212 242 7
243 272 8
273 303 9
304 333 10
334 364 11
365 inf 12

Continued velocity is checked each month.

Each Week you will be awarded your velocity x 10 crowns. So if you are velocity 12, and spend no tokens, next week you will be at 420 points.

NOTE. There is currently a display error for people at velocity 12. It is showing a velocity at the bottom of the meter, despite your velocity actually being 12.

So basically, it caps at a year.

So basically, it caps at a year.To start. I was kinda hoping for a "...since your current subscription began..." type of thing.

Jun 2007 to Present = 39 months = 300 (x3) + 25 (3 months worth) = 925

Would that be too much to ask? :rolleyes:

Isn't the Req and Rec levels on the Quiet Bone Loop and the Orb of Servitude kinda backwards? They have Req at 85 and Rec at 80.

My account is still screwed. It went from zero to 2150, but the mage box account which has less sub time than necro, has 3000??

Think I'll have to /petition to get them to fix it.

This is turning into a saga. Next time I logged in, points on the necro were correct. Yay!

Howeverrrrrrrr....

I have a 3rd account, which I started probably a month ago, bit less maybe.

It has 3000 points. Go figure....

Maybe I should cash em in fast before anyone notices :D

yeah I found that to be the funny part, one account thats been going since Dec of 03 gets 0 crowns at first then up to 250 after fix, but another account only been on for a month has 3000 crowns. Go figure :confused:
