Well as most of us know, the United States of America just had yet another birthday or celebration of its independence from the tyrants of old-England. As a reflection of how times have changed and how that great American revolution not only revolutionized itself but the world around us, we celebrated our independence with the very country we were declaring independence from, and today being one of our closest allies.

We only have five days left for open door recuritment. After July 4th, 2010, we will start requiring all new recruits to participate in the applicant process of remaining un-tagged for 2 weeks while the guild evaluates their performance as a friend of the guild. If you have any friends or family members you would like to get into Divine Reapers, now is the time; the hastle of screening the recruits will return on July 4th!

I know a lot of people still use the old “Launch Pad” for EverQuest and I'm hoping this reaches them!
Many people out there commonly complain about the patcher, how slow it is, and many other gripes (that I hear) however, here is a tip that will make your next “expansion patch” download in less than a few minuites!
Go to the Station Launcher website and downlaod the launcher (or download by using this link). Setup the launcher, login, and wha-la! This is a new launcher (and why they're not using this for the main launcher I don't know!) that will patch EverQuest in less than a few seconds on most accounts, however during expansion releases it takes roughly around 5-10 mins.
The old launcher downloads each file individuallly then over-writes the file on your hard drive, grabs the next file, over-writes, rinse-and-repeat. The problem is, all this pausing to overwrite a file and http requests to get the next file is a HUGE overhead and very slow. Station Launcher actually creates a manafest of files you need to update, zips these files up in one huge file, downloads that file to your pc, then extracts and overwrites. This download (depending on your connection speed) is usually VERY fast.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask!

The Divine Reapers would like to welcome all Saryrn players to Bertoxxulous. We hope every native Bertox player shares the same sentiment of “Your home is our home”!
For the next week we will be hosting an “Open-Door” recruiting policy for any players native on the Saryrn server. Please just send an officer or member a tell and let us know you’re a Saryrn native.

Today I did a little thinking after seeing a “(SPAM)” message in general chat:
We offer full sets of SOD TOWER RAID gear and some UF raid gear
And it warranted some “light” investigation. From that message we can deduct that there are entire guilds that are paid by these farmers to give loot to other players in game for REAL LIFE CURRENCY. This has to be a problem and why SOE Continue reading »

Coca-Cola and Doritos are now partnering with SoE again but this time not for EverQuest II, SoE has finally decided to bring EverQuest out of the closet of abused and neglected games and give it its well deserved time in the marketing spotlight. It was confirmed today on Bertoxxulous where several players have reported seeing in their “My Coke Rewards” places where they can redeem their points for EverQuest expansions and subscriptions!
So if you have any rewards saved up this may also be a great time for you to get in a free month or two (or even an expansion) for EverQuest!
As many already know, Sony Online Entertainment has some big plans for EverQuest. One of the most obvious moves they’re making is a historic server merge. In this merge Bertoxxulous will be one of the effected servers (see Bertoxxulous & Saryrn Server Merge) but a lot of the conversation centered around this event seems to be apprehensive. Even though SoE has a lot more planned than just a server merge, as we’ve all had insight into by the mass survey to enter the game, many people think, “Its a day late, and a dollar too short”. There is no mistaking that all of these actions could have been done years sooner, but is it really too late? Continue reading »
Sony Online Entertainment released in an email a week ago that the two servers, Bertoxxulous and Saryrn are scheduled to merge together between June and July of 2010. Through this the Saryrn server is planned to merge “into” Bertoxxulous. All guilds on Bertoxxulous will remain in-tact, however Saryrn guilds reportedly have to be “re-established” after the merge. After the merge all players will be given an option to accept the merge or defect to a new server of their choosing. We hope everyone decides to stay and partake in this historical event!

Thats right, Darthorx/Lalolyen, Breea, and Constipitmin are back in EverQuest and playing again. I guess this means within the next few weeks we will have older members trickling in. Feels good to be back and we are happy that SoE is finally making some positive changes to the game!
