In addition to the massively important door fixing and 3 year old spelling mistakes without which the game would cease to exist could you possibly make a few small minor tweaks that mean nothing to the game.

A few examples are listed below

1. Itemizing Tier 1-3 zones with things like cash and sellables. The nerfs especially to the tier 1 zones are pathetic. After you unnerfed the parchment drops (before renerfing them) the drop rate on items were somewhat improved. Then you renerfed everything and now it totally sucks. It is horrid that you can farm crap in LOY and make 1k an hour off lvl 40 mobs and you kill lvl 55-60 mobs and get squat for hours on end.

2. Fix the HORRID pathing that is rampant throughout LOY as well as a lot of other zones.

3. Unnerf the Spectral parchments. You know the ones you nerfed, then nerfed again, then unnerfed a little and then nerfed all to hell again.

4. Increase the number of mob levels that you can get dark blue experience on. HELLO. You stated you were going to do this over a month ago. How hard is it to change a few lines of code?

If moblevel > (player lvl - 15)
then
EXP = Dark blue experince for mob.

Of course, 6 months ago you told the monks you were going to at least partially unnerf the "monk mitigation nerf" and you havent done that yet.

Thank you (feel free to go back to your spell checker now and make sure the gnome merchants in akAnon can spell sword correctly when offering it to someone to buy).

Grammar, and Graphics errors are pretty obviously whats right, and whats wrong so easy to fix, even relativly small balances issues need to be thought out and discussed.. (dont laugh at that haha)

/em points to the Monk nerf fix that has been promised for 5 months. This promise came out about 2 months after the nerf.

If charm gets nerfed Thursday it didnt take them 7 months of coding to do that.

Hey guys, Sony is having trouble accessing this board, so they asked me to post this for them:
==========================================

Today we are installing a new patch program. This will allow players to get exactly the patch they want every time and we feel it will work well.

Each time you run EQ, you will be given a list of patches you may download. Each patch will include the name of the patch, a brief description and a dollar amount. If you choose to download that patch, your credit card will be charged accordingly.

This week's selection includes the following:

That joke was kinda funny the first time. The second time it lost a bit but was still kinda good. The 3 billionth @#%$ time its just old. Drop it really.

The pathing is actually being looked at. They are redoing alot of pathing on test. By alot I mean every zone. This is what Ive heard at least. Been on there for a patch maybe 2. So it is coming at least, along with all the other zones.
