- Faycite shards for many Laurion's Song abilities are available from Lauren Festule, Victor Pedalfoot, and Charice Malfor, who can be found on the second floor of the Laurion Inn.

Thanks. Didn't know what that meant.

So I wonder when the patch to fix the patch that was supposed to fix the patch will be?

Type 3 augs are flagged as lore-equipped, and ones of the same color cannot be used at the same time. Hopefully this second downtime will fix that issue.

Fixed - Type 3 LS augs are all in the same lore group | EverQuest Forums

All paladin type 3 LS augs are in the same lore group and cannot equip more than 1 total. It says correct lore groups on item inspection, but trying to...

My server's universal chat service hasn't been working recently, at least on my network. My friends lists aren't showing either. I've rebooted my router in case it was something on my end. Anyone else having these issues?

It's been that way on and off on both Oakwynd and Mischief lately. So, I'm assuming it's a global problem.

 

[DEADCiTiES]

Thanks, I haven't seen anyone else mention the issue. Hopefully it'll get addressed this patch. :-)

Me. Wondering if it'll be safe to try to play EQ today.

Client is patched again, servers still locked. Latest version of VV giving out of sync error when launching. Will need to be updated again when ready.

thanks, wasn't sure if it was going to require a patch or not - brain suspected it wouldnt.
I put back up the advisory to not patch until RG is rebuilt

well that means you patched eq =p

we weren't sure if it was going to REQUIRE eq patching or not

there likely won't be another MQ for several hours

 

[Sic]

There was another patch today, after the first patch. Thanks for being patient, ya'll. MQ/RG will require an update and rebuild, it likely won't be for several hours from server up, unfortunately.

 

[GoldenFrog]

Looks like EQ requires the patch. Running without is insta-disconnect.

Yup not my only machine with an install so rollback is easy. Was just testing and figured I would report and that the image may have helpful info for the maintaining dev. Not my first rodeo!

Curiously...that Bull makes me think of @Sic when someone posts on the wrong thread...

I like to imagine @Sic in a tuxedo t-shirt. Cause it says like, I wanna be formal, but I'm here to party, too.

maybe it's just me but my rg launcher seems out of sync with new eq files, threw this error as well

Thanks, previously read something like patch rg and patch eq and it's good to go. I will be patient.

it was but EQ patched AGAIN so RG is not up yet

 

[notagain]

still nothing yet

 

[knarf1978]

wait... Is Reds MQ2 back up and running?

 

[Sic]

no.

 

[Biggun]

The launcher states update not available - patch day. Am I missing something?

I updated the macros per pheraty and still getting the everquest and macroquest not matched error.

 

[knarf1978]

any idea or ETA on when we can use reds again?

When the dev team can get to it.. they have real jobs and familes, but they will get it hard as soon as they can, i am sure.
The MacroQuest scene has two standout developers who have requested tips from RedGuides users: @brainiac and @dannuic

To keep our favorite software modernized and updated, please consider contributing.

brainiac's tip thread is here:
Donate to the MQ Dev "brainiac"

dannuic's tip thread is here:
Donate to the MQ Dev "dannuic"

Thank you!

Obligatory post thanking you guys for everything you do.

This is one of those things that we can try all we like to log into EQ without patching, but ultimately it required downloading the new eqgame.exe file which will then requires the new RG VV being updated. Not all patches require new client files, but in both cases today it did.
Advising folks to not patch EverQuest is like advising them to just not play the game. The message should be something like "see if you can login without patching the game".
