EQII Character Select Returns to the Launch Pad! [General News]
from ZAM News (full)
|
Character Select now works again in the EverQuest II LaunchPad! Characters that have been logged into game within the last few months will be present in the" Select a Character "dropdown and displayed in the order of last played. If the account has no characters on it, or you have no account logged in at all, nothing will be displayed. If you have more than 5 characters in the list you can cycle through them via the NEXT and BACK options at the bottom of the display. You can find the"Select a Character"dropdown in the upper right of the EQII LaunchPad. Additionally there were a few bug fixes, the most obvious of which is that the"Remember Me"checkbox option is no longer persistant if you change between accounts. These changes are automatically applied and you should see them the next time you open the LaunchPad. source: LaunchPad Forums

from ZAM News (full)
|
Today Eric"Piestro"Cleaver, most recently the EverQuest Community Manager, introduced himself to the EverQuest II community on the official forums as the new EQII Community Manager. So who am I? Well, I'm a long time fan of SOE Games, and an experienced Community Relations professional. For a little more than a year I've been working on EverQuest. This was easy for me, as EverQuest was always my favorite MMO and getting to work on it as a professional was a dream come true in many senses. A little gnome told us that this is just a normal rotation of Community Managers within SOE, and Tiffany"Amnerys"Spence will become the Community Manager for Clone Wars and Free Realms. Welcome Piestro, we look forward to working with you!
