New file format?

I came across this at EQ Toolbox and found the original post by Datharius on the EQ QA-Testing Forum:

Quote:

Hi folks, just wanted to let everyone know that we are making some huge changes on the Test server today.
The changes being made involve a new character file format, which means every aspect of an EverQuest character could be affected.

Does anyone know any more about this "new character file format"?

Mostly, I am wondering what they are doing and how it might affect teh characters. __________________ *I am FARSCAPE.* *Ranger of Tunare* Familjen Saryrn "Sometimes the Laws of Man must be broken in order to do what is right"

When i dinged 3rd AA i Zone crashed to the desktop and i had to reboot to get back in. When i got back in i was at 98% AA exp so i fought 3 mobs and re-dinged AA. I went into my Alt Advancement and both of my Banked AA's were gone poof I petitioned at 3am to a guide stating that he would invegestagate this issue and that he needed to bring it up to a GM. I got a response today from a GM stating that they have no record of my 2 AA points. Needless to say i am very Bitter. Now i am 76% into re-dinging AA5. Buzzyrd Bayt-
