EQ2Wire

Thank you to Daybreak for unblocking us and taking steps to make sure we don't get blocked again. I've also just made changes to how EQ2U makes Census requests to make it more obvious that we are a legitimate request. Should be way faster. Thank you all for your patience.

EQ2U experienced a DDOS on Friday and Saturday. We resolved this, however the errant traffic triggered a block by Daybreak Games. They're aware of the issue and hopefully restoring our access today (Monday) as well as taking steps so we don't get blocked again.

This evening, Census was hard redirected to the daybreakgames.com website for a couple of hours. This was resolved, but it seems EQ2 characters are NOT exporting to Census for about 5 hours as of the time of this tweet. Hopefully EQ2 character export server gets a nudge.

Do not EVER question why the Game Awards are 90% jury vote

EQ2U is now fully updated with all Collections from Scars of Destruction. There is 1 stubborn collectible that doesn't seem to be dropping (Glimmering Sodden Stone) and 2 which won't be found until all Heroic H1 and H2 collections are turned in 1 player. #top" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">u.eq2wire.com/collection/ind…

Thank you to MangoBean (at Daybreak) for investigating, troubleshooting, giving the servers a swift kick, identifying the problem, and passing our concerns on to the EQ2 devs. Hopefully a fix for petamorph key ring data makes it in a couple weeks?

Census is back and exports have started again!! Please note if your EQ2 character used the Petamorph Key Ring, it will not export to Census or EQ2U. Avoid using this feature until a fix is available. If you already did, a drastic fix is to irrevocably DESTROY each stored peta.

This is how you treat your fans. Not like an 800 pound gorilla like Nintendo.

An EQ2 Census database server has been down for 40 hours and counting, preventing EQ2U and all EQ2 Census-powered sites from working. Separately, there seems to be a bug where many EQ2 characters have not exported since shortly after the expansion launch on November 20th.

After some feedback, I have rewritten the Quest Crawler feature to be easier and more streamlined to use. With your help, we can get all the expansion Quests in a matter of days. Here's my video update about it: youtube.com/watch?v=tKm6W3…

The 21st expansion for @everquestii "Scars of Destruction" drops tomorrow, taking us back to familiar but different places throughout Velious. With new expansions comes new quests, and we've put the power in your hands to help us! youtu.be/DbkjRkyT1NE

if only there was a storefront that actually lets you own your games............

How did we get here? 😟

The underlying codebase of EQ2U has gotten a bit long in the tooth, but with some help from friends, we are now running on PHP 8. The speed improvements are pretty huge. Please let me know if you find any problems.

What I actually said was: “I don’t think it really serves anyone to push gamers to just play the same game day in, day out. There are games that you can play every single day for months on end and never burn out. League of Legends, Dota, most MMOs, but they’re designed to be like that. “Whereas what we’re seeing now is a trend of... I won’t necessarily say who’s trying to push it, but a lot more people are trying to push gamers to play games that aren’t really designed to be played for months on end, for months on end.” Alas, you’ll find that wasn’t present in 99% of the posts flying around now. Oh well, not important I guess👼

Adventure Report with the new tooltips! I should be able to add this to Tradeskill Report too.

Thanks to a swift kick from Tune, Adventure Report now has a tooltip on each category so you can see at a glance which quests you have or haven't done. Also we now have Shattered Lands -> Rise of Kunark quest sections added, so that's 15 out of 21 expansions. Tradeskill soon!

I believe EQ2U is working again. We were under attack and also, coincidentally, were unable to reach Daybreak due to network issues. Both issues seem resolved. If you can't reach EQ2U, please flush your DNS cache and/or browser cache. On Windows "ipconfig /flushdns". Thank you!!

EQ2U is under Slowloris/DDOS attack. Unknown when the website will become available again.
