Did anyone else get the 9/14 patch message?
Xenomorph
While connecting to the patch server, it said it was downloading eqnews.tx_
or something...
it had a patch message for 9/14
it mentioned that the box of Aku Bar (or whatever its called) was being
returned to its previous state...
of course, when i tried to login, it said the Chat/Login server was down..
when i tried again later (1 hour? 2 hours?)
it started downloading eqnews.tx_ AGAIN...
this time it only said 9/13.. and just listed the old patch news.. it was
the old patch message.. meaning that they didnt want the 9/14 changes to go
on there.

And if you login again you'll get another eqnews.txt file. It looks
like this...

However, if you are testing spell damage by casting on yourself the numbers returned will be reduced by the changes made to PvP combat. The damage done to an NPC remains unchanged.
