Do you like surprises? As long as they’re good, right? Well, EverQuest players can breathe a little easier once they realize that today’s “surprise” patch is quite beneficial.
“There’s an in-game issue we need to fix so we wanted to take advantage of the opportunity and address a couple of other things, namely a few improvements to experience gains,” Holly Longdale said on the forums.
Today’s patch increases XP gains for high-level characters questing in older zones, bumps up mercenary task XP, and adds a potion to the marketplace that triggers a 75% XP buff.

how long has this game been live now? Â still amazes me to see posts like this, lol
It is interesting in reading the patch information that no real information was given on the changes (other than they apply mostly to high level characters).
The exception to that, of course, is for the new Cash Shop item; for which there is detailed information.
Honestly not liking the way the new owners of the SoE games are dealing with their customers.
Really starting to remind me of some of the most rapacious of the Cash Shop F2P game companies.
