Amazing work guys! You really do some wonderful stuff! We all truly do appreciate your hard work to give us the opportunity to play in classic EQ content! We all appreciate seeing the change logs getting posted as it really helps us understand what's happening in the world..
Remember, for every one person complaining about stuff, there are hundreds who are silent but truly appreciate all you guys do!

I want to be outraged about the dot stacking nerf but as far as I can tell it's working the way it's supposed to, at least as far as the druid magic-based line. Nicely done.

Dot Stacking - Sorry. I do appologize for getting this to work right. I know it sucks.

Current Pet Problems - Working on them. They are kind of classic, not intended, but they need fixed. I will get it figured out sometime today.

Nilbog: large rattlesnakes have reverted to their classic form, 'a rattlesnake'. rattlesnakes and kerra snakes will now drop large snake rattles. giant rattlesnakes will drop giant rattles
Nilbog: giant rattlesnakes will no longer be seen in West Commonlands.

You're sick, man - in a good way. <3

No, it's the same dot line, do some research before you DEMAND shit changed.

If you REALLY wanted to get technical, those two dots had the same icon before spells started getting more unique ones. You apparently didn't start playing until DoTs were allowed to stack which was after the eras this server is at.

and

Which it shows that the dot stacking was "upgraded" well into luclin.

first off i didnt DEMAND anything. So no need to take some superior tone. Nor do I come in posting unarmed or uninformed. I'm not saying I'm never wrong. But what I found backs up my premise that the dots were intended to stack as they were previous to yesterday on this server.

I'm fairly sure I'm correct when i say that creeping crud and drones of doom stacked on sony's live servers. I played a druid in live and they stacked. All the old posts that I found on the two spells asking if they stacked say the same thing...yes.

Every other dot was stackable so that your two highest magic dots, plus one fire dot stacked. ie:

drones and stinging swarm were of one line; drifting death and creeping crud were of a different line.

A post from 2006 at url: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/spell.html?spell=665

"Ev every little bit helps drones of doom + Drifting death + Firey swarm =250ish damage a tick. Add that to you am3 eq damage with druzzils composite bow.
Eageleye Zeet = Leaglize it =P"

Another post and it's url: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/spell.html?spell=259

"Yes...it stacks with CC
Ranger 65 season
Evernoob 300"

Your list of patches in that one link says nothing about single pc's dot stacking - nothing at all. The only thing it speaks to with dot stacking is multiple persons of the same class. The EQ druids post I can't explain except to say that i believe they were wrong. It does not jive with the posts above nor my experience.
