Default Game Update Notes - 12 October 2010



October 12, 2010 - House of Thule Launch
______________________________________

*** Highlights ***

- Adventurers in the Feerrott have noticed a statue on the banks of the Greenblood river. Touching this statue transports them to a strange version of the Feerrott, one that appears to contain something new... what lies within the House of Thule?
- All EverQuest players can now enjoy larger backpacks and new inventory features!
- House of Thule owners may now enjoy the new player housing feature!
- House of Thule owners now have two more base inventory slots!
- Added an additional experience bonus for grouping with other players. Mercenaries will not add this new bonus. Each additional player added to a group will add a higher bonus up to the group maximum. A group of six players will receive approximately 22% more experience per kill than a group made of three players and three mercenaries.

*** Player Housing ***

- For House of Thule owners EverQuest now has player housing! To shop for a nice plot of land to own, find the new wing of the guild lobby and talk to Anna. Clicking on the gate will allow you to select a neighborhood.
- You can own up to two plots, with a house on each one.
- Different houses may be purchased from vendors that offer different amounts of housing item and non-housing item space.
- There are lots of items for housing to acquire both in-game and on the marketplace--furniture, tradeskill stations, pets, art, architectural pieces, and more!
- Use your house as extra storage space!
- Find trophies to place in your yard or house that grant stat benefits like tribute effects.
- Show off your creativity in decorating to your friends and guild-mates.
- Look for a detailed article on EQPlayers that explains the new housing features in-depth.

*** Inventory Improvements ***

- The fabric of reality has been altered and now backpacks are no longer limited to 10 slots.
- Bag windows are now re-sizeable and can be locked in place.
- There is a new bindable key available to toggle all inventory bags.
- Empty bags can now be placed in other bags.
- CTRL-left click now drops an item into a bag without opening it.
- CTRL-right click now swaps the contents of two bags if a bag is on your cursor and you ctrl-right click on another bag.
- House of Thule owners get two extra base inventory slots.

*** Items ***

- Brellium Tokens can now be traded.

*** Quests & Events ***

- When other players enter Underfoot raid instances, you will no longer see replies from the NPCs they speak to.
- The missions given by Old Man McKenzie will no longer offer experience. This may change in the future.

*** Spells ***

- The indoor-only restriction for movement spells has been removed.
- Enchanter - Twincast Aura will now enhance DoT damage spells in addition to instant damage spells.
- Magician - Restricted the Flames of Power effect to spells that cost 10 mana or more. This should mean it is no longer consumed by most procs or spell procs. - Rogue - Changed the memorization category for Ambush Rk. II and Rk. III to Combat Abilities->Stun to match the functionality of the ability.

*** AA ***

- Magician - Divine Companion Aura's duration is now correctly fixed at 3 ticks.
- Magician and Shaman - Hastened Malosinete has been renamed to Quickened Malosinete to stay consistent with naming conventions.

*** Miscellaneous ***

- Added the server title for characters created on Trakanon.
- Alerynril the Loyal now offers the ability to buy up to three character slots.

*** UI ***

- Added mouse over and disabled colors for custom button text.
- Added ability to define the tab styles to use stretched (default) or fixed widths.
- Made a number of changes to support Real Estates / Housing.
- Made a number of changes for the inventory / storage features.
- Base inventory slots have been changed to now run left-to-right then top-to-bottom. (Previously it was top-to-bottom then left-to-right.)

Thank you for the update.
Will there be any file compares for the changed files?

Dolby is the guru at doing that, but I would highly recommend downloading "Compare it!" by Grig Software. http://www.grigsoft.com/

that way you can do the compares more easily for yourself providing you backed up your default folder before the expansion hit.
