Argin-Hiz goes live today! Servers are expected to be back online around 8:00 A.M. Pacific Time (11:00 A.M. Eastern Time). Patch notes have been posted here, and our Call of the Forsaken guides have been updated to reflect the latest content.

Note: You may hear some rumblings about new content emanating out of The Void (two missions + one raid), but those aren't expected on live servers until July 23 (this date is not official, but it appears to be set for a one-week delay).

If you're having problems logging into EverQuest, it's likely related to a DNS problem on SOE's end (their official forum post about this issue can be found here). This should resolve itself within the next 24 to 48 hours.

Today's patch will no doubt knock out our Item Collector for a period of time. We'll have that back up and running as soon as we can.

Happy hunting!
