- Paladin - Spells in the Harmonious Blessing line will no longer stack with each other.
- Shadowknight - Spells in the Harmonious Disruption line will no longer stack with each other.

*** Miscellaneous ***

- Addressed a potential zone crash with disconnected players.
- Addressed a potential login server crash related to modifying account data.

So what are the 8 hours for? Are they playing EverQuest instead of working?

Well my other option was that they're too busy whacking it to furry porn like normal people.

Right?
And it only took an entire fucking year to fix that?

 

[toadwart]

too much maths....

 

[eqsubi15]

Was hoping they'd finally fix the issue where sometimes the spell gem bar locks up when clicking an item to claim a new rkII spell. Have to zone to fix it currently.

only 7 people on the EQ dev team now I think, and 4 of them are asset creators, thats why it takes 8 hours to patch and reboot

I am really interested as to how much of their income goes towards EverQuest - depleted staff count, outdated storage, failing network and database connectivity, and new development versus break-fix corrections.

 

[BlankStare]

Last I heard (gossip) EverQuest still is profitable and is carrying the other "games" offered by Dark Paw. So typical corporate think. "Put our profitable game in mainence and use the profits to create that new block bluster!"

So basically the exact same business model they were using from 2012 and onward. So many shitty unprofitable games, and all of the monetary resources that EQ generates goes to numerous failed projects. Us suckers keep paying into a game that gives very little back.

Anyone else having problems pulling after this cycle ?
