There are currently none up anywhere and the Skeleton armies are gone from BBM and EC as well as Toxx...

So, I assume that the fabled were removed with no warning.

the warning came when the fabled items were put into the game by basically saying it was for a very limited time only.

Ahh, yes.

They were only supposed to go until the 15th, but were left in. They took them out on a Satruday Night.

While I will agree they were for a limited time, they did it with NO WARNING so that people were sitting in camps all of Sunday waiting for Fabled to Spawn.. that were never going to. You see, they stealth nerfed it. No warning. Hell, there were other things people could have been doing on a Sunday then to wait at a camp where a Fabled would never spawn.

The decent thing to do would have been to give a warning about making the change on a Saturday night.

nerfed it


How is something "nerfed" when it was pre-announced it was only going to be active for a short time?

I for one am glad they are gone. The fact that they were limited time spawns, and that they were going to be removed brought out the worst in people. Couple that with the fact that some of the items were changed after folks got them, and friends had more difficulty doing some quests because of the demand for these mobs, the whole thing just left a bad impression with me.

I will say I'll miss the rampant skellies, I even considered doing the "worthless cleric aa" turn undead just for these guys.... but I had better things to do.

I figured they'd be gone by now. It was fun for the first week, then got old. You have to admit that was a pretty cool 5th year anniversary. I for one got a new kickass haste belt, FSSOY, a cool fireworks toy, and made at least a few acquaintences while camping the damn stuff :P

I logged on my level 3 dwarf in BBM for some reason.. poor guy couldn't make it from crossroads to the PoK book before he died. =/

Beyond that I hated how everytime I sat down in some of these zones I'd instantly get popped back up by some god damn skeleton. ><

Oh but don't you worry..

Rampage.. + skeleton army = $$$$$

On a side note: are chardok B and sol C still active? When they went live they came with the same disclaimer of "use them now before they're gone!"

Technically, there was never a "Verant" it was a company that was pretty much solely owned by Sony. Verant was created because Sony thought there might be negative connotations with associating themselves with a role playing game. When Brad and Co. (who were working for Sony at the time) pitched their idea to the bosses at Sony that was when the side venture of Verant was created.

Sony simply did away with the Verant name after Everquest became a huge success and Sony realized that they were losing publicity, they finally dropped the Verant name some time after Velious was released I believe (but I recall that was 2 years or so ago). But to be honest I dont remember the exact date.

So, when I say Verant or Sony when in reference to EQ they really are one and the same and have been since Verant was the primary name on the Boxes of Everquest.

Because you're a fucking retard bit.. that's why we complain. No, seriously... the fabled mobs kicked ass and dropped some damn nice loot. All you guys that don't think so, I'm only guessing are too lazy to camp for shit. I got some damn good fabled gear, the main thing I'ma miss is the fabled jboots. Wish they'd been up for a few more months... would have loved to have had them on my last 2 chars. Got them for all the rest. I'ma laugh if I see some of you in game while I'm wizzing by you.. HARHAR!

Yeah, that's right, I am too lazy to sit glued to my PC for days waiting for some pixels to appear.
