On May 31st (May 15th if you log into Test), most of you recieved a little file update to your "alertlog.txt" file after you patched. This file, sitting right there in the middle of your Everquest 2 root directory, tends to let you know that, among other things, what particle effects aren't firing off when you use certain abilities. Hidden within the lines and lines of seemingly mundane errors such as...
"build="SOEBuild=4129L" version="SOEVersionString=2007/5/31 11:00:11" build_type="USER OPTIMIZED" ls_address="none" zone="nektulos" loc="848.70 1.08 -9.74" performance="7" alert="D:liveeq2frameworkvdlsrcVdlErr.cpp(85): (VDL Parser) *buffer*(0) : Error, File not found: clientvdl/spellvisuals/fighter/berserker_call_to_arms.vdl"
...was little group of errors revolving around "/Expansion_04/".
So, what exactly are the names we've managed to find?
clientvdl/spellvisuals/expansion_04/defiler_deathward.vdl
clientvdl/spellvisuals/expansion_04/dirge_gravitas.vdl
clientvdl/spellvisuals/expansion_04/illusionist_doppleganger.vdl
clientvdl/spellvisuals/expansion_04/warlock_acid_storm.vdl
clientvdl/spellvisuals/expansion_04/fury_ball_lightning.vdl
clientvdl/spellvisuals/expansion_04/wizard_rays_of_disintigration.vdl
clientvdl/spellvisuals/expansion_04/troubador_countersong.vdl
clientvdl/spellvisuals/expansion_04/necromancer_vampirism.vdl
clientvdl/spellvisuals/expansion_04/coercer_puppetmaster.vdl
clientvdl/spellvisuals/expansion_04/assassin_fatal_followup.vdl
clientvdl/spellvisuals/deity/anvils_of_fizzlethorpe.vdl
There you have it. Ten different abilities which are either new spells (or upgrades) or even possibly new achievements, as well as one new diety ability (anvils for Fizzlethorpe Bristlebane - the God of Mischief? Why do I keep thinking of ToonTown!?).
What does it mean? What can these abilities do? Who knows for certain - we sure don't. But we certainly enjoy talking about it. You can to if you'd like to comment below.
We'll keep an eye out and keep you up to date on anything new we happen to find. Safe hunting!
