Unknown at this time if eq will be rebuilt requiring an MQ patch

That's what they get for feeding the gerbils only half Food Rations and 1/4 Grog rations... They unionized, protested and are now in the process of taking the servers offline if their demands are not met!

Tomorrow they will be replaced by AI Agents, we all are screwed and the Gerbils will have a lawsuit against DBG for replacing them!

What would an anniversary celebration be without a reminder of how bad some of the patches have gone over the past 26 years.

Man... I was really enjoying that exp bonus!

 

[Redmonkey]

I hope it is to fix the part where some mission are not giving the bonus, like then Aten Ra Ha and Bassillica missions have been mentioned

Servers are back up. Do we know yet whether a rebuild is required?

it is and it does, there is a new .exe

 

[Nightmare327]

I got this message on trying to start up the client, so I would assume a new client exe was pushed out.

Is there a new update yet?

 

[BlueBug]

Is there a new update yet?

When there is you'll see the status change on the right hand side of the screen at the home page. The Redguides Launcher, there it'll show the status.

And I'm sure Brainiac is bust it out as quickly as he can. Just be patient my dude.


BB~

[Tstone]

I made sure to drop $20 for this post for Nicotine, or Caffeine, or a 20 sack of something, whatever keeps the MQ rolling :P

is there a issue with the plugin not working ?

 

[Whodis]

is there a issue with the plugin not working ?

No - all fine. You just need to update both EQ and RedGuides (inc any plugins etc.)
