There was patch this morning to fix a charm exploit and a possible tradeskill exploit.
January 22nd, 2004
----------------------------
We have made a few changes to remove some exploits in our continuing effort to remove any loopholes in EverQuest. In this update we have removed the charm exploit in Plane of Tactics by changing the way that charm works. This change should not affect those who use charm in the manner for which it was intended. We have also changed the profit margin of many tradeskill items when sold to NPC vendors. It is our hope that these changes and your continued community efforts will help to put a stop to those who do not wish to play fairly.
- Changed Charm spells so that NPCs spell use will now be interrupted once the charm has expired.
- We have modified the sell back value on many tradeskill items to prevent excessive profit.
- Please note that many items will now show as being usable by berserkers. This does not necessarily mean the items will be equippable by berserkers when Gates of Discord launches. Unfortunately, I believe the charm exploit is still possible in PoTactics; you just have to time your charm to break while your enemy mob is casting instead of your charmed mob.
It's also unfortunate that SOE has to nerf all the sellback prices for tradeskills. Fix the problem, not the symptom! Fix it so that macroers can't macro at tremendous speeds, but leave some small profits for those people that want to make a few plat that way!
