So is it safe to assume that we should go to other websites for The Broken Mirror information?

Weemage,
Most of the info on this website is provided/submitted by players like you and me.
The expansion is just out, some of us haven't even played in it yet... much less submitted new information to the site.

Alwayslost,

Well this is the first time in 16 years that I have been coming to this website and when I look for information that even the expansion name is not listed in the Database/Zone/List of expansions utility.

Talk about lousy service from Zam. I feel bad for the suckers paid for another year of premium Zam access before this expansion launched.

The expansion page is here but it needs template and wiki link work. 15 years ago there were 60-70 servers with 5k people per server - and websites like this one actually made money.

At this point the volunteer admn team is basically able to update stuff. As in not create anything new in the database. TBM would be all new entries. Wiki is a different beast and volunteer admn Tiran is doing some work there. I can tell you that just keeping up with the "old stuff" updates for items, bestiary and quests is taking about 12 hours of my formerly game time alone per week. I'm not sure how much time volunteer admn Aiken is putting into the news stuff but it has to be some. Not sure if any of the other volunteer admn are doing stuff behind the scenes or not. I'm only saying this for transparencies sake. I like the allakhazam community and this site, I don't want to see it die or become out of date.

Item collector should pull in the new items... but I have seen none so far. My understanding is Lucy (the item collector program) is working again (though possibly only partly). I will tell you that Oxgoad (a user here) has done a ton of updates to this site in the last few years which I only clued into when I became a volunteer admn. I would confidently say there would have been a lot less updates without him. In the same vein, Sippin has given group content write ups for the vast majority of content in the last couple of expacs... he does this with no fanfare in the quest forums (so aside from the admn he's not getting rate ups he deserves most of the time). Other like Merf contribute a ton of pictures... the list could go on of users who are the backbone of this site.

A new expac drop requires Zam dev support (or so I have been told). You're best bet is to go to the Zam site feedback forum and see what kind of response you can get. Maybe if the paid-sub people that want this done spoke up there, something could happen.

Fanra's site gives props to Zam... so yes, you might want to look there until we get this sorted out. There's some great TBM info there. If I get sanctioned for saying that so be it.

Thanks for the shout-out!

FYI, Lucy is down again ATM. This happens every time there is an game update, whether it be a new xpac or just a patch. (I don't know why that is, but then, I'm not a programmer.) This also happens on other sites, like Magelo. Their sync app isn't working right now either. When Lucy comes back up, you should see xpac item information materialize. Unless Zam prioritizes Lucy, though, it may take a while for it to be functional again.

As far as walkthroughs, it's up to us. What we write will be what goes up. I contribute here, I run Lucy, I run Magelo Sync to beef up their data for item loot percentages, and I sometimes add info to Fanra's wiki as well. Zam is a great source, but it's not the only source. I wouldn't limit your research to Zam, but at the same time, I wouldn't drop Zam from your bookmarks. I value Zam enough to pay for a subscription. In the realm of shared information, I'd rather be a seeder than a leecher.

I second the kudos for Sippin and Merf. Off the top of my head, other users that have been frequent contributors via Lucy in the last few years are Rondor Norador, Rangermadness, Byren, Tnexus, and fcoty. No doubt I'm forgetting others, no disrespect intended.

Thumbs up to the people volunteering here. Thumbs down to the people that own this site and decided to take it in the direction it's going. I don't play any game, except for Everquest. If this place is going to support EQ as an after thought, I already know where I will go. It's not much money, but it's money I can spend elsewhere. I like Allakhazam, but to not even have a section up for the latest expansion doesn't speak well to me.

Fate Rewards the Bold - heroic adventure from Tarl Punox (Plane of Health)

I have no idea where to put info if there is a place, wanted to tell people on this mission the people outside the theater are counted as at the theater though we had been shorted a person!

The two best places are under the zone entries (I believe they all exist now) or under an item entry (if a specific item is used or a reward then Lucy [item collector] will autocreate the entry in this database).


Posting like that let's us (volunteer admns) try and catch up on this stuff. One challenge we face (aside from this being a not particularly user friendly old system) is that a lot of the timeouts (on new posts being flagged to admn and such) were clearly set up for Railus and Fleven (or both of them) working on this every day for... hours.

I have seen no port spells, the spell vendor had nothing for my Wiz but a couple of old junk spells.

I think I got EQ Lucy item collector loaded last night but not sure of the settings I chose Ethernet? . not sure if I have it set right. I will try to look for some items tonight and see it they get loaded.

I think the only port is that item you paid for but I did NOT buy get one and have no knowledge on them yet. .

Here is my link about the TBM wiz class progression spell info - I posted what info about them under the wiz spell. I will need to add it some where on the main TBM pages
https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/spell.html?spell=49223#m1449093791287778804

maybe a nice class list and a link of each base spell they get! is my next goal over the next few days.
