Via Taymar at MMORPG Info (always a fantastic place for information about EQ2 and other games), EQ2′s game update 49 — the last one before the expansion — is live. GU49 introduces guild halls, multicore support, and more. Perhaps another chapter in the Anashti Sul world event?

I THOUGHT they were doing a tailoring update with new colors and patterns, but I can’t remember if that was expansion or pre-expansion.

My tests with the multicore support on my Core 2 Duo-powered laptop showed a significant improvement on Test.

    I’m waiting impatiently for your comments on today’s EQ1 patch notes. The changes to character death, gear and group mechanics are rather major. In fact, I would say game changing.

    @Egat — well, let’s hear your thoughts about them. I’ll put them right on the front page. I am not on the EQ front lines these days, just doing my thing back in old content.

    Really? That’s distressing.

    Thank you for the shout-out!

    I’m just rushing over to read the EQ write-up – no more corpse runs? I thought the graveyards were a perfect compromise :(
