Phase 3 Patch:
For characters below level 25, the loss of experience points upon death has been significantly reduced. However, from level 25 onward, the amount lost remains unchanged.
The skill progression for Dodge, Parry, Riposte (counterattack), and Block has been adjusted. The claim that 1H/2H Slashing (one-handed/two-handed slashing weapons) wouldn’t improve for Warriors and Paladins was a fabrication—they will grow normally.
The functions of all number keys are now displayed. The NUM LOCK key (by default) can be used to lock the keypad’s functionality.
"PK Changes"
PK (Player Killer) level restrictions have been divided into four tiers. A level 20 PK cannot attack a level 15 PK (and vice versa), but a level 20 PK can attack a level 16 PK.
Restrictions have also been added to PK looting: only non-container items can be taken. This means you can’t loot everything from an opponent’s inventory, nor can you take containers or their entire contents.
PKs can now group with non-PKs and share experience points, but they cannot cast spells on each other, including beneficial support magic.
The use of "Rain"-type spells underground is currently considered a bug and will remain as-is until further notice. For details on magic-related bugs, refer to "EverQuest_Manual," Section 3 "Known Bugs."
