Anniversary events

[Lillaanya]

<p>The quest givers in WFP seem to be buried under the rubble on Test.</p>

[Gninja]

<p>Yes we know. The problem here is that this event is active on live servers which haven't had the event where Freeport Citadel crashed down happen yet. If you see one of us Devs online and are having an issue where something is gating let us know and we can try to resolve it. Everyone on the test server should have already gotten an email a while back with the anniversary reward painting so you shouldn't be missing anything really big.</p>

[Lillaanya]

<p>So will they get moved on test or are we just out of luck unless we happen to see a dev on?</p>

[Lillaanya]

<p>The painting came to those on the test sever like 10 months ago?  I wasn't playing there at that time, and if the quest is in line with the Qenos one then there is a reward besides the painting as well.</p>

[illaria]

<p>Where do i pickup the quest on the live servers in qeynos? I didnt realize such an event was already live</p>

<p>What anniversary events?</p>

[Xalmat]

<p>Apparently it's in the patch notes, which have not been publicized on the boards.</p><p><span >Patch Notes<em> November / 24 / 2009</em></span> EVERQUEST II FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY EVENT The Heroes' Festival has begun!  A call has gone out to all Norrathian adventurers to commemorate the five years that have passed since the Refuge Islands first began collecting those lost in the turbulent oceans.  Celebrators, happy to share in the festivities, can be found in North and South Qeynos or West and South Freeport.</p>

[Karrane1]

On the Qeynos side, when doing the Shattered Remains quest, when you get to the final shard in Nothingness, we cant break the icey wall down. I tried killing everything in the zone, that didnt work. I killed the trolls and spiders, that didnt work. I deleted and tried again, kiling the voids, trolls, and spiders.. that didnt work either. Bugged the quest for test server... it seems fine on live.

[Kaitheel]

<p>The event, The Heros' Festival, has been deactivated on Test and Test Copy.</p><p>I just found out that the files to correct the issues you are reporting (walls not breaking) and other ones (missing quest items), have not yet been updated to the Test servers (Both Test and Test Copy).  That is why the event has been deactivated.  It will be reactivated at a future date, so you will not miss out.  We'll even move a few things around in Freeport to accommodate the changes to the geometry in those zones.  I apologize for the confusion and disappointment that any of this may bring you.</p>

[KerowynnKaotic]

<p>*sigh* ..</p><p>Kinda pointless seeing as you guys decided to skip testing on this but ..</p><p>The Queen's speech is just shy of being stiff.  At the very least, I think it's missing at least 1 more sentence.  It sounds like there should have been a "so Thank you and Enjoy" statement but it just stops at saying how perfect Qeynos is.</p><p>Queen:  Good citizens of Qyenos, I come before you today in honor of our city and all of our accomplishments.   It has been five years since our light guided the first refugee to the welcoming shores of our island colony.  During this time you have risen to every challenge - Surviving the multiude of threats, both nature and unnatural orchestrated by neighboring kingdoms, delusional zealots and misguided entities, alike.   You have kept our city of valor safe with the sweat of your brow and the blood of your viens.  It is your sacrifice and accomplishment(s) that we honor today, within this paradise without equal! ... <em>So, I implore you to drink up and enjoy the feast with our sincere thanks, for tomorrow may well bring more challenges that we will, again, need to work together to rise above</em>!</p><p>--</p><p>The Shattered Remains:  Someone said there's (5) parts to this quest .. that's (5) zone outs (5) shard zone ins (5) Dream zone ins ... why the freak did you think this would be fun to most players?   Not to mention the game logic error that comes from having the first one be in the Tower of the Moon .. which was perfectly understandable from the NPC's game text.   What do most people do for this step?   Click gate to Ro .. which doesn't work because you are really having to zone out / zone in /zone out /zone in / zone out / zone in .. *sigh* ..</p><p>And, again .. more 'fun events' that can't be multi-boxed or grouped .. woohoo .. just what I wanted to do before Thanksgiving was to run every single one of my 4 accounts through the quest individually .. yeah .. no ... only slightly more fun than going crazy making sure all dust particles are hidden in my house before the mother-in-law comes over ... but amazingly more stressful! </p><p>The Fireworks should have been a reward for the Fireworks quest, imo.  And, we really shouldn't have to choose between the food or drink rewards.  (2) food / drink isn't overpowering.  1 whole hour of game time .. not that big of a deal. *shrug*  But, overall I can't tell you how un-thrilled I am at getting more junk to clog up my inventory.  Of course to each their own.  I love house items but to many others house items are a waste of space so .. *shrug*</p><p>I like the general idea of these events and it would be nice to see them every year with minor adjustments like any other event but they just seemed rushed and after the thought.</p>

[-Fluffy-]

<p>You might want to check on the european servers too. I can't seem the find the NPC for starting the Thumore's Absence quest in any of the cities, even though there are other NPCs talking about them. At least not on Splitpaw.</p>

[Whilhelmina]

It seems we need to wait for the patch tomorrow morning to get the missing quest. Could the event be turned on on Test_copy ?

<p>Post deleted. Really no point in it.</p><p>Purr~</p>

[Anestacia]

<p>Just curious here but are the Veteran rewards for this year close to being activated?</p>

<p>Well.. I went to do the Shattered Remains on my lowbie zerker that I'm leveling..on my only account out of the 4 I pay for that doesn't [Removed for Content] have tso. </p><p>Allow me to snarl that one. it wasn't caught you NEEDED the expansion to zone into the zones and two that the assumption that EVERYONE has TSO is wrong.  I have an account full of RP toons that I rarely adventure on.

<p>Wow! What a group of complainers. I'm stunned at the 'I'm entitled' responses here. Stunned again at the obvious ignoring of red name responses.</p><p>On a more positive note, albeit the note is still stunned, when I logged in after work saw the MOTD and asked about it in guild chat. Six guildies paused their dungeon crawl to tell the rest of us in chat how much fun they had with the quests and how they liked the zoning quest.

<p>Thank you for the event!  I enjoyed the surprise nature of it.  Sometimes it is good to have something skip straight to the live servers so as to keep it under wraps.  It felt like a gift...sorry that some felt that it wasn't good enough.  I mean seriously...complaining about not getting 2 pieces of food or drink...</p><p>Thank you again.  I loved it.</p>

<p>How long is this event scheduled to run?</p>

[Lillaanya]

<p>Ok, seriously folks, if you do not play on the test server regularly you really haven't got a clue what goes on there.  Popping on for an hour or so when a patch is coming really does not qualify as regularly either.  You should really refrain from comment on what happens on the test server and save yourselves further embarrassment.</p>

[Kiara]

<p>We'll not have any more of that in this or any other thread, if you please.</p><p>There are no players in our game who are jokes.  Our testing community provides a very valuable source of feedback for the team.</p><p>If you feel that there is a lack, go fill it.  But do not, ever, come on these forums and disparage another person's choice of playstyle, and yes, playing strictly on test is very much a playstyle of its own.</p><p>As for the rest... Let's try and remain civilized please.  Whilst not everyone will agree, the folks who play exclusively on test DO at times run into some rather difficult situations, but then again, so do those on live and therefore we won't have any of the bickering about what folks can and cannot complain about.  Everyone can complain, so long as they remain within the forum guidelines.</p><p>Please return to your regularly scheduled discussion and remember our trolls are on a very strict diet... even if it is Thanksgiving <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" /></p>

[Eveningsong]

<p>The one good point is that the additional rewards (candle/scroll) are tradeable, so its possible some folks might have a few extras and be willing to share <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.  And of course, I'm sure some will show up on the broker for a premium price, lol.</p>

<p>I agree. We should have figure it was way too easy for that to be all there was. I'm glad I saw it in time to run through it. I just did all my characters then did other things in between waiting to be able to do it again. It wasn't that big of a deal. The candle is pretty cool, and I'm kind of glad they did it so you could only get one. I hate it when people exploit quest rewards to gouge it on the broker. I would have liked to have gotten an extra for the guild hall, but I'd rather see the limit.</p>

<p>And we thought 500p was bad...  that one is still there.  In addition to one for 1000p.  Joy!</p>

<p>Well, people can ask as much as they want. We do that on Test all the time; put an item up for 1000p (I had my Paladium Bangles up for that, and I often see collectibles in that range) so that only guildmates get it or so the person knows to contact you directly to work out the price. I just trade the bangle for the palladium rare, but I don't want to sell it for 10 gold or whatever only to see it being sold again for a much higher price.</p><p>Oh yes: I checked my sales on LDL a coupel of weeks ago. Someone bought my status relics for 1 plat each. I didn't expect to actually sell any. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/97ada74b88049a6d50a6ed40898a03d7.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>You are a riot Chikkin <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I searched all over WFP and SFP for revelers giving the quest but I didn't find any. I guess that means it still isn't on Test yet. Hope they let us know when we can do the quest so I don't miss out since I don't play on Live.</p>

<p>The Anniversary Event has been reactivated on the Test and Test-Copy servers. And there was much rejoicing...</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">I was in the middle of the dream quests when this was taken off of test and it disappeared from my journal at that time.  Now I am unable to get the quest again.</span></p><p>NM I relogged and was able to get it again.</p>
