Boxed Version of LDoN to Come with Keychain and In Game Item

Purchase The Lost Dungeons of Norrath through EBgames.com, and get the game the day it goes live with a special Everquest key chain and a special in game item, and a free 30 day trial membership to our site that we offer exclusively through them (or for current premium members an exclusive 10% discount on the game). This is posted on the Everquest Site: --------------------- Just announced - 2 great retail promotions for EverQuest: Lost Dungeons of Norrath. In-box: When you buy the boxed retail version of EverQuest: Lost Dungeons of Norrath, you will receive a custom EverQuest branded key ring, with a Lost Dungeons of Norrath magical rune while supplies last. In-game: Satchel of Abu-Kar Get a Satchel of Abu-Kar (in game) when you buy the boxed retail version of EverQuest: Lost Dungeons of Norrath at any of our partner retailers while supplies last. What is a Satchel of Abu-Kar you may ask? Well, not much is known about the ancient adventurer, Abu-Kar, beyond a few rare weight-reducing containers that are occasionally discovered. Now rumor has it that a buried storehouse full of these fine satchels has recently been unearthed by the Wayfarers Guild. And oh how useful they are, this satchel will carry eight large sized items, and magically reduces the weight of everything in it by 25%. Reinforced Satchel of Abu-Kar In recent weeks, rumors have surfaced that determined adventurers can renew the enchantment on their satchels, strengthening the seams and fittings with arcane power. While the details of these stories are uncertain, most of the rumors share a common thread -- there is a mystical puzzle that must be solved to find the person capable of such immense magic. This ancient magical satchel carries up to ten giant-sized items, reducing the weight of everything in the satchel by 50%. ----------------------- This is only available via purchase from one of the two partner sites of SOE. One of those happens to be our partner site EBGames.com. I checked with them about delivery and they assure me that anyone purchasing the box and choosing 1 day air will get it on 9/9/03, the day the expansion goes live (this will be true even if Sony moves the release date - you will get the box on the day it goes live). Thus, current premium members can buy Lost Dungeons of Norrath using your 10% coupon and save $3.00, or those not yet premium members can get the additional bonus of a free 30 day trial membership to our site. Plus, you get the game on the day it goes live. Plus you get the keychain and the in game item. This is a very nice offer.
Use this link to order the new expansion though EBGames.com.

THE KEY THE KEY I HAVE UNLOCKED THE KEY
# Nov 24 2003 at 1:47 AM Rating: Default
I HAVE FOUND THE ANSWER THAT YOU ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!

I figured out the answer to the puzzle at as much of my amazement as yours. In the riddle it says that a star is guiding him north, obviously the only star on the coin, and the eclipsing sun casting a shadow in him (south) so if you hold the ring in front of your face the star points up and the eclipsing sun points towards the ground. then in the riddle he says "then i spin".

THIS IS THE KEY IN UNLOCKING THE PUZZLE

If you take the coin in your hand with the star at the top and rotate, the 2 objects diagonal of each other on each side of the coin will seem to not be 2 diagonal objects on each side of the coin but 4 objects side by side creating the solution to the 4 squares that are on the ldon site.

for best results tie a thread or fishing wire throught the hole with the star under it and then flick it. it will give you the 4 symbols in the correct direction that you are soo desperately seeking.

as a spoiler im also going to post the response you get after inserting the 4 symbols correctly but only for the people that still cannot figure it out even after my help, but if you still want to flick the coin and see teh answer in front of your eyes then don't scroll down...






























The runes indicate that you shall venture forth to the EverFrost and the camp of the Wayfarers Brotherhood; the name "Kizpi" emblazoned foremost in your mind.

/ooc You must have Lost Dungeons of Norrath installed and your claimed Satchel of Abu'kar on your selected character to participate in this quest.

the Key Chain Puzzle
# Sep 10 2003 at 6:03 PM Rating: Decent
Humm, ok I'm confused.
The boxed version also gives you a puzzle that goes with the keychain. www.lostdungeonsofnorrath.com and click ont the ruin coin (the keychain) up in the top right. I haven't been able to figure it out yet. Anyone?

The Puzzle:
Quote:

I travel the lands. My burden is heavy as I seek a truth to lighten my load. North, south, east and west, each point pulls me to the answer, spinning on an axis of epiphany.

In the darkest of nights, I am guided by the brightest star of the north as an eclipsing sun casts long shadows across my southward afternoon path. The answer may lie in either of the four points, concluding my journey.

I spin and I seek, proceeding northward, my mind wandering yet finally revealing a new direction. I am emboldened! I shall cast my runes upon the path and follow wherever they may lead.

The Bag
# Sep 09 2003 at 12:24 PM Rating: Decent
Anyone know where to get the bag? Unless I missed it when I was reading the news post, I didn't see anything that said anything about where to actually get the bag. I am looking forward to the next expansion as that it will sort of undo the damage that PoP has done. (When it comes to guild systems and size anyway)

As much as I am a fan and contantly rooting on the big guilds of my server, there is not much room for rangers in them. So I guess LDON will give me the chance to go after some higher end events and maybe get some gear that I haven't been able to get a chance at in PoP.

Well with that I am off. Good luck on your adventures and may your arrows fly true.

FEDEX just got here.
Upong review the book that was in the Box, I see all you have to do is make sure you are on the right character, have a free inventory slot and type /claim.

Sorry to waste the space.

Enjoy LDON everyone, I think its going to be great.

30 day trail

Ok, I just put in the pre-order on the boxed vertion of LDoN. So I am to assume I will get the code for my 30 day trail when the disc arrives, correct?
EB dont sell to UK
# Jul 18 2003 at 12:16 PM Rating: Decent
Yes, its true cos they wrote me. They'll ship to the Falkland Islands and Taiwan, and other countries youve never heard of, but NOT to UK. So...us UKers cannot take advantage of the 10% off, nor order LDoN from them to take advantage of the free toys. Bah!
Info about the lockup

Hi Folks:

Some info about the bug yesterday, rumor only, but fairly credible.

Apparently, there was a bit of a problem when they added the LDoN flags (account flags, not game flags)to user accounts (it did not necessarily matter if you pre-ordered).

Apparently, some SoL and PoP flags got munged in some cases, leading the servers to think you did not have these expansions, thus making the computer think you were under <60 (or whatever).

To my knowledge it will be fixed today.

LDon and the logon server
# Jul 18 2003 at 6:52 AM Rating: Decent
LDoN was anounced.

LD's are now common. Logon server won't let you in. I was forced out to download a file I don't need.

I monitor my internet connection...the problem is not on my end.

HOW can I go into the game and not be disconected? The most exciting this I can do now is tradeskills. (whoopee)

3 Years of playing EQ...and the GM blows me off like a newb when I'm LD in the middle of SSRA. Thier advice? "Use an alt to file a petition" VERY CLEVER! HOW does one log on to file a petition when you can't LOGON TO THE SERVER? Catch-22 there. LOUSY thinking.

Msg to Sony: FIX THE GD LOGON SERVER! CHECK YOUR PROGRAMING! FIX THE BUGY CODE!
No Bonus for the Downloaders?

So let me get this right, the long playing & already paying customers dont get these two wieght reduction bags? Not that its a big deal to miss out on a key chain, but a 8 slot and 10 wieght reduction bag is somthing almost anyone could use, especially casters with like 60 str. Just seems kind of garbage that you dont get this bonus for downloading it. Maybe i'm missing somthing here?

The retail (boxed) version is $7 more than the DL version.

My guess is the retailers complained the DL only expansion killed their sales, so sony thru threw this in as a no cost benefit to help their distributors.

Meep

PoP was buggy When it came, sure. But Can any of u Say That The rewards and benefits your getting From it now make it not worth it ? I think LDoN will be tons o fun

I think a nice tinkered item would be bug spray- -invisibility to bugs.
Another Fix please
# Jul 17 2003 at 7:14 PM Rating: Default
Great yet another $30 expansion... will it live up to the buggy-ness of past updates and require 24 hrs of downtime to repatch the prepatch for the new expansion... Fix the current game issues and for gawds sake please quit bleeding these addicted Sobs dry.
Safe now?
# Jul 17 2003 at 7:01 PM Rating: Default
Wait...you can order and download it today? i saw the new screen, and i have no AA's so this will not be a problem, and there seemed to be a patch this morning...because i couldnt log for 6 hours. SO am i safe to get it?

That problem was for those who ordered the download version, as it sent the first installment of LDoN files to your computer immediately after ordering. They are fixing it right now. But there is no problem with ordering the boxed version. That is simply placing an order to get a disk sent to you to install all the game files at once.

Remember that the download order does not include the keychain, satchel, or the 30 day Allakhazam trial membership. Those are only through the box you get through EBGames.com.
