EQ Live Patch History

Were you looking for EQ Beta Patch History, Client Changes, or Zone Changes?

This page will eventually list all of the known patch history for EQ Live. For known patch notes during EQ Beta, see EQ Beta Patch History. The great majority of these patch messages were initially drawn from Allakhazam's patch history. However, some patch messages over the years were missed by Allakhazam's and thus were drawn from other sources such as Internet Archives of the EQLive forums where possible. Unless otherwise noted above the patch message, all patch messages came from Allakhazam's.

For a downloadable, text-based copy of all known patch messages represented here and beyond (from 1999 - 2022), until such time as they are packaged for download on this wiki, see https://github.com/nazwadi/patcheq.
