- Uberfuzzy talk says... ITS PATCH DAY!!!11one1 The extra long downtime has begun, and some off duty hamsters tell me everything is coming along smoothly! We've enabled the wiki chat system today, and you are invited to spend your downtime with us! We've even got a few guest stars from SOE hanging out through out the day! You can access it via Special:Chat , or as a popup from nearly every wiki page in the side rail. Behave your self, or the chatmods will boot you like a gnome
- Lordebon talk says... Want a free chance at a few EQ2 goodies? SOE has a free CoE Launch Day Giveaway going on for one day only.
12 November 2012
- Lordebon talk says... It's Chains of Eternity launch day! The servers will be coming down at 7am pacific (10am eastern) for an estimated 6 hour downtime. Expansion updates can often take longer, so keep an eye on SOE's forums , facebook , and twitter feeds for downtime updates.
11 November 2012
- Chillispike talk says... Chains of Eternity is just around the corner, only a few days left to preorder it!
- Uberfuzzy talk says... if you are L92, be sure to check your mail for a letter from Erus Dal'viv , the Swordbearer. He wants to see you in South Qeynos or Freeport (near either's Mage Society). The quest he sends you on, Unexpected Consequences is a prelude to the events that will unfold in Chains of Eternity . This is not a pre-launch event. It is not going away at launch (ala the pre-EoF deity quests), but rather the first stage of the new questline of COE, and is likely to be required. It is an important piece of story why you are about to do the things asked, and where you are going, and you get a very nice L92 Neck piece too!

10 October 2012
- Kodia talk says... One of the joys of being a wiki administrator is to let people know of great news in the gaming community and it's even better when it's related to EQ2i. Today is one of those days. The Admins at EQ2i are overjoyed to let you know that your efforts have made EQ2i the OFFICIAL WIKI COMMUNITY FOR EVERQUEST II . Not long from now, you should see the EQ2i logo change with the official SOE "gold star" of approval. This is SOE's way of saying thanks to all of us working so hard to share useful, timely info with our fellow players. Congratulations!
- SOE's official press release says this about us: "As part of its dedication to supporting existing community efforts, SOE has also designated EQ2i, one of the longest-running and well-populated Wikia sites, as its official Wiki for the popular MMO, EverQuest® II."
- But wait, there's more! SOE will be giving EQ2i access (sometimes early!) to information that's not readily available other places. And SOE specifically wants to know how they can support the wiki's needs and help us grow even more. Since Uberfuzzy and I will be at SOE Live in Vegas later this month, we'll both be attending a panel (Friday at 11am we've heard) where you can tell SOE how they can help EQ2i. Are you headed to SOE Live? Care to attend the panel with us? Let us know on our talk pages so we can get a group photo and celebrate the wiki's good fortune!

You can read the FAQ in English , French , and German , but the gist of it is that current Euro servers will be split off (much like the Russain servers) and run separately, with a separate subscription and no access to the US servers except if you have already played on them. Read the full FAQs for more information.
