SOE Maintenance - September 29, 2011 [EverQuest II]
from ZAM News (full)
|
This morning at 6am PDT (9am EDT/2pm BST) SOE will have a 2.5 hour maintenance on their commerce and subscription services. The maintenance may also affect authentification on the official forums. Here is their announcement : Beginning September 29, 2011 at 6:00 a.m. subscription and commerce services will be unavailable for maintenance. We expect this maintenance to take approximately two and half hours. This may also cause some forum accounts to temporarily lose permissions, due to the inability to verify account status while the maintenance is taking place. This is only temporary and normal permissions will return automatically once the maintenance is complete. We apologize for this interruption and will resume all affected services as soon as the maintenance is completed.

Featured Guide: Buying and Selling on the Market [EverQuest II]
from ZAM News (full)

The Consignment (Broker) System is the means by which EverQuest II players buy from and sell to each other. It is also referred to as the Market, Broker, Auction House or Bazaar due to the influence of other games. Using the Broker System when you're a new or returning player can be quite overwhelming. It helps to find the right kind of Sales Crate to maximize your profits and selling capacity. It's also important to be aware of the markup fees when buying directly from the broker. Some Extended players may also be limited with how they can interact with this feature. We have all of this and more covered in our featured guide, Buying and Selling on the Market !
