Game Forum / Role Playing Games / EverQuest / January 2006Sorry you missed it
For about an hour after the server restart, SOE has left the beta server tradeskill vendors online in POK. This meant that for a while all kinds of tradeskills items were available for everyone. Example, HQ Lion Skins for Fleeting Quiver (tailoring), Air-Infused Spring Water (potter, brewing). Tradeskiller paradise! Hopefully anyone who scored skillups or a whole bunch of valuable(expensive in Bazaar) items won't loose out with a rollback or exploit punishment. Well I can dream, can't I? So are all of your bags still full Transrook? __________________________________________________________ Submitted by: Vidden This message was submitted through the Erollisi Marr Forum > For about an hour after the server restart, SOE has left the beta server > tradeskill vendors online in POK.

There was also an AA vendor. Yes, free AAs. A widespread and aggressive rollback has been announced... if you bought any tradeskill items off a player today, if they were originally from the beta vendors, you'll get rolled back too. Watch out.

The game had been running for an hour by the time the tradeskill vendors were killed, there were 168 people in PoK on Fennin. How many people had been XP'ing for an hour? I don't care why they didn't do a full server rollback, if they think they can do individual rollbacks that seems like a better solution generally. I'll ask people I know to have purchased stuff on the vendors and see if they get rolled back - and then make a judgement. >Characters deleted,Account canceled,a.g.e unsubscribed.

Sorry your toys seem to be 50 feet from the pram. I know several people who got rolled back, and were quite rightly pissed off about it, as at least some of them had not directly purchased anything from those vendors, or knowingly interacted with someone who had. Including one person who lost their drop off Volkara, so has to do that raid again, and hope to win the drop again.

OK, so you've stopped reading, well your loss. I know someone personally who bought 2 stacks of items from one of the vendors, felt guilty, and sold them back. They were rolled back to about 3 hours before the patch. Before the patch they XP'ed in MPG, died, and got half way through looting a corpse when the patch hit. After the patch they did the buying and selling back. After the rollback they are at the entrance to MPG, with none of the XP earned during that three hour session. So if you'd been patient, you could have proven whether Sony were being honest or not without having to behave like a 3 year old child.

Well I would not be expecting anyone who directly used it to step forward :) But you may have a point. I have seen the AA vendors in a previous beta though, but it was spawned specifically by a GM for us to purchase and test specific AAs. It's a vendor with a single item, a book (or something like that), you buy the book cheap, hand it back to the vendor and you get an AA point, much like melee tomes work. Given that there are supposedly no new AAs in this next expansion, I don't know why they would have an AA vendor loaded into the PoK zone (of course they could have included all these vendors from a previous beta, who can tell).

Yeh I know the vendor, it seems it might have been there, but it wasn't possible to get AA from it. I didn't see it personally, and was also 'guilty' of saying it was there.

It sounds like SOE is going to rollback just about everyone who tried the npc and others who may have bought or recieved the ill gotten gain from the players. Worse, if you paid, you never get the plats back even if it was to other players. I spent my time just sitting in bazaar selling junk so I never got affected by SOE's blunder. I did get a good chuckle or 2 out of people /oocing in PoK how to get reimbursed for the lost items. money I can understand but don't expect to get back 20 stacks of metallic drake wings.

Well, got rolled back LOL. Amazing how thorough and efficient they are after a MAJOR SCREW UP. Don't ya wish they put in that kind of effort EVERYDAY? Realizing full well this thread has grown a bit stale: > > For about an hour after the server restart, SOE has left the beta server > > tradeskill vendors online in POK. ...... [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Don't ya wish they put in that kind of effort EVERYDAY? It's funny. Over the weekend my wife logged in for the first time since the day BEFORE the patch. She was not logged in except as a bazaar merchant from the day after the patch fiasco to the rollbacks, and as such made no purchases during that time. The day BEFORE the patch, she had bought a few underpriced (Woops, that one's missing a zero!) items, and gave my iksar necro a set of experts armor. She got rolled back, losing 20K in plat, the underpriced items she had legitemately purchased the day BEFORE the patch, and got back all the experts armor she had given me. My necro, however, was not rolled back and still has the experts armor. I WAS playing my main the day of the patch, and was not hit by a single rollback. So it almost seems like the rollbacks were random. While she feels double XP weekend isn't quite an appropriate tradeoff for two days of legitemate transactions for a measly hour of rampant tradeskilling, and to a goodly extent I agree, we did take full advantage of it. -- Xiphos - SOE, if you read this, the correct answer was acknowledge you made a mistake, and just let it go. But thanks for playing. |
