EverQuest II News - Game Update 49: Raising the Banner Notes

Posted by Keith Cross on Oct 08, 2008  | 10 comments in our forums

SOE has published the patch notes for EverQuest II's Game Update 49: Raising the Banner, which introduces Guild Halls, multicore support, experience point changes, and more.

GUILD HALLS

* Construction of the Guild Halls has been completed. Guilds of qualifying levels can now purchase halls in a variety of locations. Smaller halls can be found in North Qeynos, South Freeport, Kelethin, Neriak, and Gorowyn. Medium halls are found in South Qeynos and North Freeport, and large halls are found off the shores of Antonica and Commonlands. Click on the corresponding doors, or mariner bells on the docks, to access these new structures.
* With the work completed on the coastal fortresses in Antonica and Commonlands the involved parties have retired to their cities and the guards have been recalled to the barracks.

HOUSING & HALLS

* You can now pay upkeep on your house or guild hall up to 12 weeks in advance.
* Wall-placed house items now use a different method to stick to the wall that should keep them from disappearing into the world geometry.
* The payments tab has been renamed to "History" and will now display payments and credits to the escrow account.
* The deposits tab will only display contributions to the escrow account from players.

GAMEPLAY

* The experience requirements for levels have been significantly lowered primarily affecting the 20 thru 70 level range. Along with the experience changes, the drop rate for Adept I spells has been increased slightly.
