EverQuest II & Live Gamer FAQ

[Isulith]

<p><p ><strong><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Live Gamer FAQ</span></strong></p> <p >Hello all, we wanted to let you know that Live Gamer will no longer be offered in EverQuest II, Vanguard or Free Realms. We thought you might have a few questions for us on that topic!</p> <p style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-indent: -0.25in;">1.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">                   </span><strong>What’s happening to Live Gamer?</strong> <em> </em><em>After careful consideration and review, Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) and Live Gamer (LG) have mutually made the decision to discontinue auction services currently available in EverQuest II (EQII), Free Realms and Vanguard.  Beginning on December 14, 2011, SOE will suspend exchange services for all three games. For EQII, SOE will merge the LG exchange-based servers with its existing game servers, specifically Vox will merge with Nagafen and The Bazaar with Freeport.  LG continues to be a valuable partner to SOE for a variety of e-commerce services. SOE and LG will be updating the FAQs from time-to-time to help answer questions you have regarding the discontinuance of the auction services. Below is a timeline of the changes to Live Gamer:</em> <em>- November 21, 2011: Last day to transfer items from game to your LG holding area</em> <em>- November 22, 2011: Players will no longer be able to post items, characters, or coin to Live Gamer Exchange in EverQuest II, Vanguard, or Free Realms</em><em> - December 13, 2011: This is the final day for players to return or claim any items, characters, or coin to their accounts - December 14, 2011: Live Gamer Exchange is suspended in EverQuest II, Vanguard, and Free Realms</em></p> <p style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-indent: -0.25in;">2.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">                   </span><strong>How will this affect me?</strong>  Most players will not notice any change at all – just log in and play as usual. In Vanguard and Free Realms, only players with item sales active on the Live Gamer Exchange will be affected. For EQII, read on!</p> <p style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-indent: -0.25in;">3.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">                   </span><strong>I heard there are server merges coming for EQII Live Gamer Exchange servers!</strong><strong> </strong>We will merge servers for EQII Live Gamer Exchange players only: The Bazaar (LG-PVE) server will merge with Freeport (PVE), and Vox (LG-PVP) will merge with Nagafen (PVP). We anticipate the merges will occur on or about December 15^th, 2011. We will keep you updated on dates and details via the EQII forums!</p> <p style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-indent: -0.25in;">4.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">                   </span><strong>How will this work? </strong>You will not be able to post any new sales to Live Gamer Exchange after November 21^st.  <strong><em>Make sure you take all your items off the exchange listings <span style="text-decoration: underline;">before December 13^th, 2011</span></em>,</strong> because the service will be shut down on December 14^th, 2011. All links and pages for Live Gamer Exchange will be removed at that time and you will no longer be able to access your Exchange listings or items.</p> <p style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-indent: -0.25in;">5.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">                   </span><strong>Oh no, I missed the deadline! Is all my stuff gone?</strong> <span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">All items, characters or coins must be transferred to game from your Live Gamer holding area on or before December 13^th, 2011. If you miss this date or have issues pertaining to item transfer to game, please contact SOE Customer Service for assistance, via phone, live chat or support tickets and we will endeavor to manually transfer any remaining items back to your account.</span></p></p>

<p>Whoot about time!  It sounded like a good idea on paper and to try to prevent 3rd party exploiters, but just didn't work out...</p><p>What affect will this have on Vanguard? Will it go free to play too?</p><p>I bet there will be a good size insurgance to the Nagafen server now as well with the extended pop being able to go to pvp soon.</p>

<p>Are these the only two servers  characters will be able to transfer to, or will we give given the option to go elsewhere as we have seen in the past?</p>

<p>I understand that we need to claim out items from the holding area but what about the items in our /claim window... do those need to be claimed also before the merge?</p><p>Thank you for the quick response</p>

[Valdaglerion]

<p>I know the merger said "on or about Dec 15th" and that today is Dec 15th. I am wondering if a date has been determined that we can begin to plan around?</p><p>Many thanks~</p>

<p>How will Shared banks be affected if you have things in both Freeport and The Bazaar, for example?</p>
