- Sassinak talk says... It's time for a new look on the front page! The previous layout from 2007 had become quite outdated and cluttered. I hope the new front page layout is a little easier to use. The new Table of Contents section gives more links in less space, and hopefully it makes it easier to find what you need. Let us know what you think in the forums.

- Kodia talk says... We're frequently asked how people can help around the wiki when they don't know where to start. Just submit something! The editing will take care of itself. Don't worry about formatting or templates or anything. Start something and the crowd of volunteers here will work together to improve on it! Now if you really want to know what we'd like help with, how about starting with these quests and pages ? They all need their facts checked.

Edit
- Kodia talk says... My very first EQ character was a Barbarian from Halas and I am overjoyed that today we can say Halas is Reborn ! Her greatest joy was learning to swim the waters without the help of The Gwenavyne . Enjoy, folks, and if you see a Barbarian named Jaddari, gives her a wave as she celebrates.
16 May 2010
Edit
- Kodia talk says... Hey all you lore geeks! When Halas is introduced in the game, with the next update, did you know they're also introducing a Story Teller System ? They're modifying the quest journal so you can follow the storylines behind the quests you do.

- Kodia talk says... Whodda thunk it? Check out our article count, folks. Yes you're reading that right. CONGRATULATIONS ON REACHING OUR 50K ARTICLE MILESTONE !

- Kodia talk says... We've just gotten word from our Wikia hosts of some down time at the wiki. Though very brief, we wanted you all to know about it. Wikia staff writes "In order to perform scheduled maintenance, all Wikia sites will be "read-only" for about 30 minutes starting at 10:00am UTC Wednesday April 14. (that's 3:00am Pacific, 6:00am Eastern). During this time editing will be disabled, but you will still be able to view the site. Thank you for your patience, The Wikia Community and Technical Teams." So when the wiki goes down tomorrow morning, no need to panic, ok?

- Kodia talk says... We know you're all out in Paineel and beyond while exploring Sentinel's Fate , but if you're out and about in the rest of the world, maybe you could take a look at the things we currently have labeled in the bugged category ? We'd like to clear some of these out at some point. SOE may have already fixed some of them. If you know if these have been fixed, pleased feel free to remove the {{bug|}} tag from the page.

says...
if you played EQ1, you may remember the term "hell levels". It seems they may have accidentally creeped into EQ2 also, but SOE is fixing this. Going LIVE today (Jan 20th 2010), they are adjusting the overall leveling curve. The overall trip is the same, (meaning no one at 80 will de-80), but some of the roads just got paved over a little bit smoother. Full details are on Brenlo's forum post
here
.

Additionally, I'd like to bring up that SOE's "
ConnecDING!
" promotion is still is full swing, and the EQ2 page is just shy of its Silver (10000) goal. Was just under 25 people short as of this posting. If you facebook, and havent yet,
give it click
. We all get 250 StationCash and a Cloak of Pie (its a brenlo thing, listen to the old SOE podcasts)
- And lastly, I'd like to give a heads up to our veteran wiki users (even just the people that read) that help make this place beyond awesome, some awesome new Wikia tech is coming soon, and we're going to be trying some of it out over the next few weeks, so stay tuned to what new toys we get to share with you all.

- Kodia talk says... SOE, in their infinite wisdom and in the spirit of celebrating MLK day is offering up bonus XP through TUESDAY morning!

- Kodia talk says... With the start of a new year, we're starting to think of a new look . Why don't you join in the conversation and let your voice be heard? What would you like to see? How would you like to see us change and grow?

- Kodia talk says... Happy New Year, everyone! From all the Admins we'd like to thank you all for another great year of edits. Cheers!
