I don't know if anyone has written about this yet, but
these are the new changes that they are planning on
implementing soon. I got this info off two separate
sites.


<<snip>>

Zones

Three new areas, tentatively titled, Temple of Solusek
Ro, The Hole and Paineel, will be accessable via the
Toxxullia Forest on Erudin. The zones will be free of
charge and available via an optional patch. More
information regarding these new zones will be made
available as their release date nears.

- The Temple of Solusek Ro should be on-line and
available to our customers, free of charge, by
mid-October. A release date for The Hole and Paineel
has not been set.

General Issues

Though a majority of the EverQuest development team's
time has been dedicated to the enhancement of current
game play related features, such as dungeon and class
tuning and balancing, item/weapon implementation, and
spell functionality, we have been able to work on the
following.

- We are working to make it possible for players to
manually organize spells within their spell book.
- Level 35+ characters meditating automatically when
they sit down - without the spell book being brought
up.
- When a player or NPC speaks in a langauge other than
"Common Tongue", denoting the langauge being spoken
(if their skill in that langauge is high enough)
proceeding the text.
- The ability for the user to manually adjust their
clipping plane (the point at which the 3D geometry is
drawn in) on the fly via an in-game slider bar to not
only enhance performance, but to also allow the
clipping plane to be moved out much further than it is
currently set to.
- Approximately 20+ new character animations to be
mated with the /text socials which were recently added
last week.
- Allowing the ability for guilds to be at war with
multiple guilds.
- Functionality is being added to allow Enchanters to
enchant items.
- The ability to send messages to everyone in a
players Friend's List whom are currently on-line.
- Adding the option for players to not allow looting
before a guild war is initiated.

Although these are somewhat frivilous changes, I can
see how it can make a few things more fun. I, for
one, am very excited about the new med changes for
level 35+, especially since I will be at that level by
the time the change is implemented! (i'm also looking
forward to the animations that will accompany the new
emotes, but we wont even go into that now )
