***Today's Updates***

*The Hole*

We are pleased to announce the opening of The Hole, a high-level
dungeon on the continent of Odus. The Hole is a complementary addition
to EverQuest, available to all subscribers regardless of their Kunark
status. The files necessary to enter The Hole are available via the
"Optional Patch" button at the bottom of the patch program interface.
The files are quite large (about 9MB total), so if the download is
going slowly, you may want to postpone downloading the files until
later.

*Vox and Nagafen*

Over the past couple of weeks, we've received more and more reports of
these dragons being bested by smaller and smaller groups of higher-
level (high 50s) adventurers. As we've always felt that Dragons should
be special encounters that require a large number of people, we were
left with some choices.

One choice available to us was to increase the power of the dragons to
a level where the level 60 folks would find them challenging. This
would have the disadvantage of forever placing them out-of-reach for
those who did not buy Kunark, and place them further out-of-reach for
those who did, but are just now approaching the levels where they could
go on Dragon raids. Another possible solution was to make the dragons
flee (depop) when engaged by a more powerful group of people. This
would have the undesired effect of allowing some people to deny others
the experience of fighting a dragon.

Instead of raising the bar as mentioned above, we've instead decided
that dragons, or at least these two dragons, should have the magical
ability to pick their own fights. Players of level 53 or above will now
encounter some difficulty when attempting to assist in combat with
these dragons. This should help 40s and low 50-level characters with
their chances to encounter a dragon without worry of getting forced out
by much higher level players. In addition, it also has the added effect
of creating a natural progression from the younger dragons of Antonica
to the elder and more formidable dragons of Kunark.

Bolded part by me. So does this mean until we get The Hole, the dragons won't have their banish ability?

[Dullah]

That was like what, 2 months after kunark opened? Not really a big deal.

[Palemoon]

Two months for some, but 16 dragons for others!

BOLD UNDERLINED IS MY POINT....WE all bought Kubark

[Nirgon]

I did one raid where 52+ could attack Nagafen on RZ. I think the highest in attendence was a 58-60 necromancer (Perplexer).

It was a joke.

You'll be 51 & 52 for quite some time and probably have some Kunark loots, should be very easy. With this in mind, make PvP a CLASSIC 4 levels and you'll have a better server.

No.

^ This guy continues to know what he's talking about actually.


Rushmore asks, "Who will kill it?"

I don't know maybe alts like every other Kunark server / live?

[Dullah]

Considering we've killed Naggy with 12 legitimately, and I'm almost certain given the right people we could do it with about 8 or 9, the issue isn't relevant.

Yes, naggy and vox will be very easy for 2 months. It should make them more viable for guilds other than Nihilum. Moar pvpz bros.

[heartbrand]

I dunno that nagafen raid I attended had 27 people and there were multiple wipes.
