Change to Buddy Keys[ 2 Comments ] Print News | Category: General News - Vault News - Official News In-game advertisements from platinum sellers are a constant community concern, and something we take very seriously at SOE. The dev team has been looking into different ways to curtail this behavior, and have made some changes to Buddy Key accounts that should help ebb the tide of spam from platinum sellers.

Items from the Avatars have been upgraded.
*** The Estate of Unrest *** The Priest of Fear and Torklar Battlemaster will no longer spawn as soon as the instance begins.

Speculation, Speculation...[ 12 Comments ] Print News | Category: General News - Vault News It's no secret that SOE has been putting out expansions rather quickly. There was some discussion saying they were rushing things and not doing a great job of making sure the majority of the big bugs were taken care of prior to launch... then came Echoes of Faydwer. Though there were a few bugs still in the expansion they were not huge and the entire thing was rather well polished. It was with EoF that SOE announced that they would be taking a little more time with thier expansions to provide a better expansion for the final product. It worked out well. Now some have found that a new name has been trademarked by SOE.
"Rise of Kunark"
Does this mean that will be the title of the next chapter in the Norrathian story? Maybe... Maybe not. Only time will tell but there is much talk about it and we all have our speculations about what is coming next. If it is indeed Kunark many questions will be finally answered such as What happened to Cabillis, Are the Burning Woods STILL Burning?, and the all famous Trakanon... he was undead after all so is he still around?
Hopefully soon we can get some official word on this from someone over at SOE but for now we will just have to put our hopes for that Fungi Tunic on the back burner.
