Patch for Velious already:
Today's patch requires that Velious subscribers press the "Velious Patch"
button on the patch program UI.
Emergency Patch
We appreciate everyone's patience while we address a few issues as tens of
thousands of new players check out Velious. This emergency patch addresses
several issues:
The transparent inventory screen will no longer come up in 640x480
resolution. It was not supposed to come up as the available screen space is
not large enough to house the new screen.
"Disabled" windows in full screen mode will no longer interfere with mouse
clicks.
Addressed some item drop bugs in Skyshrine that had the highest-level loot
dropping off of yard fodder. This has been addressed with a retroactive item
change. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Several disciplines (Resistant, Trueshot, Unholyaura, and Holyforge) have
been upgraded. Please read the updated EQManual_Supplement.doc (or .txt) in
your EverQuest Directory.
"Dragon Circles" have been fully implemented. In short, you will not be able
to receive a teleport to a dragon circle unless you've been to the circle
before and carry a soulbound souvenir that spawns at the circle. Please read
the updated EQManual_Supplement.
Innate class-based resistances implemented a year or so ago did not take
into account levels 50 through 60 with exception to those provided to the
warrior. As such, each class that has class-based resistance bonuses (with
exception to the warrior) will get an additional bonus as they level from 50
to 60.
The problem of blank faction messages being reported to the players has been
corrected.
Screenshots are again enabled.
Overall the Velious launch is going very well. We are happy to see that the
problems found so far are minor and that we can address them quickly.

My impressions: WOOT!! SoV is fun. Mobs are very nice looking. The dwarf
city has everything(have not found a bard trainer, but...). Don't mess up
that faction. Cantana was well received by the casters in my group. And I
only saw one bard song. Below said 4??? I wonder what they were.
Anyway, off to logon,
Piemur Draggonsinger

.Ok, Velious installed, parched and activated:
Druid ring/circle and Wizard gate/portal spells for Iceclad Ocean are found
in NK at the gypsies. They are level 34 spells like the Combine Ones.
It appears ( I forgot to grab /locs on both portals) that the Druid and
Wizard spells take you to the same location in Iceclad Ocean Zone. A note,
when I ported in with my level 35 Druid, I was immediately attacked by blue
/con mobs. My level 48 Wizzie was not attacked, but I think that is because
nothing was near the porter "shack" when I zoned in. The mobs /con green to
the Wizzie.
Barge to the Gnomish Icebreaker is caught in NRO at the new pier, just south
of the Barbarian Fishing Village. Barge then zones into Iceclad Ocean and
drops you off on an empty island. You then need to run accross the island to
the other side to catch the Gnomish Icebreaker. You can't miss the dock.
Icebreaker ride takes about 7 or 8 minutes to get you to the mainland.
Once you disembark from the Icebreaker, head left to the Gnomish Outpost.
One vendor there sells some of the new Velious Spells. I only saw 1 for each
class on him (except Bards had 4, go figure, hehe), and I was under the
impression that there was 2 for each class. So, as of yet, I don't know
where the other set is (if infact, there is another set).
That's it for now folks.
