EQ2 Patch Notes: September 1, 2010

Today a lot of players of EQ2 Extended are going to get what they asked for.  Classes can now be purchased!  I want to play a mystic, and now I'll be able to.  Also available is limited access to the broker.  The way I hear SOE is doing it makes sense, and will probably need to be a post of its own.  But for now, here are today's patch notes fresh from Amnerys:

EVERQUEST II EXTENDED

• Classes can now be purchased individually off the Marketplace and through character creation.
• Armor crates have been added to the Marketplace selling sets of armor for all levels.
• You can now purchase Broker Credits from the marketplace!
• Broker Credits can be used for a one-time purchase or sell action on the broker for Bronze and Silver members.
• Selling and purchasing stacks of items count as a single broker credit so use them wisely!

USER INTERFACE

• The XP bar will now stay put through relogging.
• The bonus xp from max level characters now displays properly at character select.
• Your UI settings should now be restored after using the /loadui command.
• The mini-map zone name will now display correctly after using /loadui.
• Fixed a bug where using /loadui while banking would keep you from using the banker until you zoned or logged out.

• Parts of the achievement interface and all of the paperdoll windows that were red will now be blue when loading the “Default Blue” skin.
• The background color of the paperdoll is now exposed to the UI files via the PaperdollBackgroundColor property.
• Fixed a bug causing coin to not be draggable to the coin section of the Character window.
• The Character window has undergone a few changes:
• The Auto-Inventory area has returned.

• Feral Citizenry: Ghoulish Nerians should no longer remain in an “unattackable” state after being exposed to the Strobe of Innoruuk.
