April 1, 2015

It may be April Fool's Day today, but this is no joke: The Plane of Mischief received a surprise update today - a quasi-reversion to its long-past state (more), bringing back a few old quests. Some original NPCs don't appear to be present and the respawn timer is reportedly different from that of its original version, so this may have been a manual update rather than a full-on reversion.

Update, April 2: The zone is now back in its regular form.

New Items: Heroic Incarnadine GemstoneHeroic Lump of Felsic LavaHeroic Flame Alchemist's JewelHeroic Rock Guardian ShardHeroic Eye of the Serpent

Updated Items: Helm of Manifested EtherSpell: Nurturing Growth Rk. IITome: Holdout Blade Rk. IITome: Conditioned Reflexes Rk. IISpell: Splash of Pyroxene Rk.

Well it was fun...for one day.

All the PoM 1.0 mobs that were here on April Fool's Day are gone again and all the PoM 3.0 mobs are back.
hmm

Went here messing around I don't know much about this place but the only spawns that I see are the rats in the tunnel, guards when you first go in, and the mushrooms on zone in.

Theater is empty and rest of the palace is empty. Not sure if its just not spawned or if it was wiped out earlier and is on a long respawn?

Though it looked like it was missing 2/3 of the mobs, it was still a very nice gesture on Daybreak's part. Maybe there's hope I can get my Crazy Cleric Breastplate someday.
wtf

...someone is listening? This (a reversion of PoM) is one of the longest-running EQ "wouldn't it be nice if they would just..."


Good on Daybreak and the dev team.

Full revert it for progression servers (minus whatever was "broken" and provided the exploit/excuse to un-unique it in the first place). Then fix it for the present as in update it to be worth questing in on Live.
