August 24, 2023 - Extra-Life 2023

Again this year, Darkpaw Games is continuing a many-year tradition of having volunteers raise money for charity while playing games. For the second year in a row they have announced in-game incentives to go hand-in-hand with the fundraising. Those who donate will receive in-game rewards later in the year, those who join the team and raise funds will receive in-game rewards later in the year, and everyone who plays will receive in-game rewards in November based upon the amount of money the entire team raises. The Extra-Life 2023 Incentives Announcement has many of the details.

To answer some of the more commonly-asked questions:

• Donate $5 or more to any member of the Darkpaw Games team and you are on the list to receive incentives. If things work like last year, the first round of incentives will be sent in mid-November-ish, using the donation numbers received November 6. Any donations added between then and the end of the year will receive their incentives in early January, (based on donations received between Nov. 7 and Dec. 31) when a second tally is done. Your email address from the donation will receive mail when the donations are tallied will receive all appropriate keys when the rewards are distributed.
• You do NOT have to join the team if all you want to do is donate. Pick someone on the Darkpaw team list and donate, and you are on the donor list for incentives. If you wish to raise money from friends, family and co-workers, you are more than welcome to join the team, of course!
• Extra-Life is the gamer-run charity arm of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, and all funds go to the designated Children's Miracle Network Hospital. Many of us from Darkpaw have the fabulous Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego as our target hospital. Others that live in other regions will likely be raising funds for a Children's Miracle Network Hospital that is closer to their home.
• Just to make it extra-clear, once you donate, there is nothing more that you need to do to earn your rewards. When the tallies are done after game day, email will be generated with the proper account keys, and sent to the email address that you used for your donation. You can then claim on your account of choice if you have more than one account, gift the key information to another if you don't want the rewards, etc.
• The "Group Milestone" awards listed in the linked post will be available for everyone in the game, not just for donors, and the level will totally depend on how much Darkpaw raises as a team by November 6.

August 16, 2023 - Server Downtime - Wednesday, August 16th 6:00am

All EverQuest Live Servers will be brought offline on Wednesday, August 16th, 2023 at 6:00 AM PT* for an update. Downtime is expected to last approximately 6 hours.

Expected updates of interest to Tradeskillers:

*** Tradeskills ***

• Fixed a client crash caused by running out of inventory space while tradeskilling with Make All.
• Tradeskill combines completed with Make All now place items directly into your bags instead of being automatically put away from your cursor. If you run out of room while using Make All, the items will be placed on your cursor. If you are holding item(s) when it's time for a new combine, they will be placed into your bags.
• If the zone and client go out of sync when doing tradeskill combines with Make All, there should no longer be a 12 second delay.
