*** Highlights ***

- M.C. Tinkerton bids all in the Plane of Knowledge farewell as he packs up his Clockwork Party Machine and heads for home.
- The issue where player pets were attacking other players when hit by an AE spell has been fixed. Thanks to all those that helped provide information about this issue.


*** EQPlayers ***
- The leaderboards now exclude tribute, guild tribute, food and drink bonus, and leadership abilities.
- /paperdoll will now auto-update your current character's profile with a real-time screen shot of your character.
- Guild rosters will update more frequently and remain in sync with the game more reliably.
- There are a couple new menu items under the character menu. One will perform a full update of your character much like the slash command does and the other will open a web browser to your current character's profile.
- There is a new option in the option window to disable the auto-update feature to the EQPlayers site.
- Characters will stay up-to-date better.


*** Misc ***

- The issue that some people experienced with being able to cause other people to sit when they sit has been fixed.

I spend $1.99 a month so I can view my characters stats/ leaderboard, etc...

It's nice to review when things are slow at work. The thing I don't get is that we have to update our players from the actual game...

In eq2 - your toons were updated every few hours or so. There was no actual /eqplayersudate command. If you forget to do that (and I do often) then your stuck with old news...

I won't pay for the other 2 services. Not worth it to me.

The current rumor is that this patch is hiding one thing. The fact that the GM's are nuetering the xp for MMs. I know they are going to do it, but not sure if this is the patch. I have heard the xp will be turned down to 1 yellow bubble of AA instead of what it is now, 1 full AA.

Yes, but only if you have updated your character.

Think it's a nice thing to have /paperdoll now instead of /eqplayersupdate!

Now THAT is funny!

EQPlayer is currently only available for paid service if you use a credit card instead of a game card, so a large portion of the world can't even concider it. With Mageo and EQRankings providing the same services why give SEO the money?
