Freshly scribed... Evil Eyes of East Karana: Alert to Noobs!! Be careful when in East Karana. Evil Eyes there have been seen in human form. They still have the pet and still pack a punch. Also, some are even miniaturized. See some pics here . . . Human Form!? Guild Wipes Verant updated it's patch message with an alert regarding guild wipes in the near future:
On May 15th we will be performing another servers-wide guild wipe for any guild with less than ten members. Remember, it is always a requirement to have ten members in your guild. These ten members must all be characters from separate accounts (only one member from each account will be counted for the ten member total).
So if your guild does not have ten members on Tuesday, May 15th, it will be deleted.
We're sorry for being so harsh about this rule, but there is a distinct limit to the number of guilds that we can support, and the rules for maintenance of a guild are clear.

SCAM ALERT Someone is asking people to download and run a file (perhaps called eqtest103.exe) in order to participate in testing the new expansion.
This is a scam. Do NOT download and run any files like this.
Most likely this person is trying to steal your password, or perhaps do something even more devastating to your computer.
Please, don't download or run files from people that you don't know. If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. We won't be sneaking around passing out files like this.
Be careful, folks.

Clerical spell drops increased In a thread about clerical Velious spells Alan assures a player that spell drops in Velious have been increased on Test and will go live with the next patch.
With Velious we decided to only sell the level 34 spells, and have the rest be drops on the continent. It was our intent to make these spells fairly common. Unfortunately some of these spells were a little too rare. We have addressed this by upping the 39 and 44 spell drops on the Test Server, this change should go live next patch.
Treasury Opened The Bane of Darkness Treasury has been officially opened! So far we are off to a great start with lots of platinum and tons of items donated. The Treasury has already helped equip members and provide backing for trade skill improvement. The results are amazing when we all work together.
Please see the Treasury page for more information. Latest patch message: EverQuest Patch version 1.2.2

** Spell Changes **
- We have removed the changes to bard song stacking that were made with the recent emergency patch. We will be reviewing those changes for possible update in a future patch.
** Item Changes **
- The Shaman Epic effect has been returned to its previous effect (and it should conflict with fewer Damage over Time spells, as was the intention for the change made last patch).
** Quest Changes **
- Ivory Sky Diamond is now dropping as it should.
- Fixed an error in a Stonebrunt quest where an NPC was handing out the wrong reward.
** Miscellaneous **
- Added some code that might fix a bug with female hair and Erudite hoods that caused them to fail to appear sometimes when a helmet was removed. This would cause some characters to look as though the back of their head was missing at times.
- Mouselook will now work a little differently when in the first two third-person camera modes (overhead and chase). They will work similarly to first-person mouselook (i.e. your character's heading will change when you move the mouse left or right, the left and right movement keys will cause your player to strafe, and the camera angle will pitch up or down when you move the mouse forward or back). These changes should make those first two third-person camera modes more useful.
