Patch - Server Downtime: Tuesday, May 19th @ 10:00 AM (2 Viewers)

[jande]

might that be related to their notes?

Probably, don't care for excuses/apologies all of it just rings hollow, they had enough time to fix it and they did not. Even now there is other problems still lingering (corpses/chat/unknown chars (yes really people seeing toons on account they do not know)/housing plots not owned by correct toon anymore)

Returning it via overflow is a massive risk, 6x 40+ slot bags filled that needs to be returned just for me and I doubt overflow can do platinum returns.

Not playing atm as I expect servers to go down any time and a rollback.

Not sure if this is the proper place to report an issue because I am new to these forums, but mq2 keeps popping up a box that states "either mq2 or eqgame is out of date"... I have updated everquest through DBG platform and through MQ2 platform and no luck thus far. The warning keeps saying (below)

MQ2 expected eqgame Date and Time to be:
Apr 13 2020 16:06:55
But eqgame's Date and Time is:
May 18 2020 17:44:08
Do you need to patch one of them?
Loading of MQ2 can not be completed.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Wait for mq2 to patch. It is not out yet.

I am not on a merged server and all my plat in regular bank is gone on one character. I still have the copper, silver and gold. The other characters on the same account seem to have all their currency.

Another account has all currency missing. Again not a merged server and not in shared bank

One thing to try is to update the eq client. Start eq normally but when the window shows look for a gear in the lower left corner. That is for settings. Update you eq from there. Then go ahead and log on as normal.

OK will do. Thanks much!

Congrats DB you screwed me, shared bank/plat is empty

I learned many years ago do not leave PP in the shared bank. I lost it during an update back then. They recovered it but since then I transfer money there but do not leave money there.

That is why mine was not in my shared bank but it still disappeared lol.

 

[NobodyKnows]

now ... i think i need to check my shared bank's plat amount ... sigh

The thousand corpse thing is very weird, I shouldn't have any of these corpses but I have 4 rezable ones. There is no reason for them to exist, prior to the patch, I hadn't even died in quite some time.

the theory is they are any corpses you had in the last 7 days

 

[Jetanroth]

Ah, ok, I guess if it went back that far I could have had 3 or 4. I guess I should just be grateful I didnt LOSE any XP or plat. lol

Rollback inc!

 

[Jetanroth]

Argh!!!!!

 

[freeferli]

Probably because of the corpses

 

[Many_Whelps]

Imagine the outrage if Blizzard did this to WoW. The internet would literally melt from the outrage posts.

 

[MadGinja]

If this happened to blizzard, i'd think their campus would be locked down tight, stay at home order or not, lol

 

[Jetanroth]

Probably because of the corpses

If they did this just to roll back the bit of XP people got from corpses that would really be aggravating. So people got some extra XP from corpses, call it a break even for the XP they lost during down time and move on.

 

[Sum1]

That is why mine was not in my shared bank but it still disappeared lol.

Oh FUCK.... I need to check this. I had 20+ mil plat in the shared bank on my trader.

 

[Sum1]

I fuckin did a bunch of currency missions today and geared out a beastlord... so if they roll all that back I'm going to be fucking mad.

 

[Marwas]

Just patched and saw this....

DB Forums says servers will be coming up shortly. Does the existence of a new micropatch mean we also need a new VV compile?

it is a new .exe - if its a forced exe (meaning we have to use the new one) then yes

 

[freeferli]

I feel like the server merges could have been done by telling everyone on those servers "You get a free transfer to any server. You MUST use it within 2 weeks." That is what a previous MMO that I was in did, and I felt like it worked well.

Hi folks!

Having similar date/time issues after emergency maintenance; therefore, I'm assuming mq2 has to put out a new patch?

 

[Allurex]

hope we don't have to wait till 8pm tonight already donated for ealyer vrs. once today

 

[Dethbrngr]

But time and dates out of whack

 

[Sic]

yup its a forced new .exe so will require an update

 

[Lorrena]

Does this mean I have to wait for a new VV to patch?

 

[WalterPeck]

Pretty sure it does

 

[nookiecookie]

Yes, they will need to recompile. Plus side, does not appear to be a rollback on Bertox.

no roll back logged in my toon that got 3 and half levels 112 to 114 and almost 115 out of the corpse thing and still have it

How long is it before we usually see a update?

depends on how much dbg changed, and how much it takes the mq2 devs to sort it all out - once it gets completed there, it gets sent to redbot so he can sprinkle all the Very Vanilla flavoring on it

 

[Neekodemus87]

is MQ2 down today with the downtime and patches i can't make it go...

yes, new .exe means the mq2 devs have to do all the work they just did, but again

Eww Redbot's Secret Sauce?!? Not sure I want that included. Can I order mine without?

 

[Papacybin]

mq2 will not launch after emergency update
