patch notes (goto link for full notes)
http://eq2wire.com/2014/11/11/update-notes-tuesday-november-11-2014-altar-of-malice/
GENERAL
- Free members now have access to Chains of Eternity content.
- Experience rewards for all quests, including collections, level 95 or higher have been increased.
- Reduced the amount of experience required to level from 90 to 95.
- The Channeler class may now be purchased separately through the Marketplace.
- You can now sort items on a merchant by name, price or level by clicking at the top.
- A new option to disable automatic auto-attacks has been added to the Auto Attack Mode section of the Options menu in the Character window.
- Corrected an issue where the numbers displayed in the spell examine information for wards were not receiving the full benefits of ability modifier.
- Added texture quality options to the patcher’s “Game Configuration” program.
- Extended chest looting range to 5 meters (up from 2 meters).
EQUIPMENT SETS
Equipment Sets are a new feature intended to simplify equipment management and remove the need for clunky equipment swapping macros.
Players may access Equipment Sets via the new Sets tab in the Equipment and Appearance sections of the Character window. A maximum of 20 Equipment Sets (10 Adventure/Tradeskill, 10 Appearance) can be created. Creating a new set will copy your existing gear to it. Equipment Sets can then be equipped via the “Equip” button in the Equipment Sets window or with the slash command /equip_equipment_set [0|1] “[Set Name]“, where 0 is an adventure/tradeskill set and 1 is an appearance set.
Examples:
/equip_equipment_set 1 “Pretty in Pink” would equip an appearance set “Pretty in Pink” (and you know you are!).
/equip_equipment_Set 0 “Max DPS” would equip an adventure/tradeskill set named “Max DPS.”
Items that are a part of an equipment set will display tooltip information indicating such and also have a background color to help prevent accidental obliteration.
HOUSING
Characters on an account now have trustee access to other houses on that account. This requires no action to take advantage of and the other characters will not appear in the access list.
General
Experience rewards in many contested dungeons will be reduced for players over the intended level.

the cash shop race is a cash grab
the expansion being given early access to subs seems more like an experiment
this is the first expansion where there were no preorders
it wasnt on sale when i posted patch notes but it is available now

and the first expansion where early access was given to subs only

The new race low end cost is 2000 SC, not 4200SC.

Well as many a bugs as there are in Beta, Like I'm AA and holding out now myself. As for the new race being a cash grab, with some of us having 10,000 SC from AA it is not really a issue.
If you are interested in making a MMO maybe visit my page to get a free open source engine.
agree about the SC
i have plenty of SC from back when SOE did x2 and x3 promotions on SC
but i have little interest in the new race.. races are largely cosmetic
I'm not 95 yet for expansion content (made level 92 last night)
but working on catching up

Same, have tons of SC, but not big on the new race. I can agree with others , 89.99 for collectors and it doesn't include the new race? That's rubbish.
I love EQ2 and will play the new expansion, my sub runs out 11/17, and may hold on it a bit being Dragon Age is going to have me tied up for quite some time.....I hope!
dungeon maker exp reduced as part of the expansion launch

Kinya ?@BabaGraPL
So looks like Dungeon Maker XP #EQ2 was not nerfed after all and lots of people hit level 100 in 1hr after AoM went Live
Holly Longdale ?@WindstalkerEQ2
it was reduced.

Hmmm lets see.. I spent 85$ to get 20k on double points black friday.
Now Cyber Monday. EVERYTHING with points is 25% of to subscribers. I just leveled a guy to 85 and doped him out all vamp package with a FREE rent vampire lair FOREVER for less than 4k points, and bought the race you are all moaning about for less than 1500 sp.
Usually I would only say this in a jerk game like WoW, but because of snivelling bitches I will say it here (though we are generally nicer in EQ2)
Cry more noobs!! HREHEHEHEHE
