Today's patch was primarily comprised of server-side changes in
preparation for the release of EverQuest: The Ruins of Kunark. Only one
gameplay-affecting issue was updated as a result of this patch:
Being killed by another player in a duel will now cause you to re-
spawn with zero mana.
This change was implemented to counter a strategy used by casters where
they would duel to reduce downtime between fights, thus allowing groups
to engage creatures that they normally would not be able to.
