Here are the update notes for this morning's patch as posted by Zatozia over on the EQ Forums:

*** Emergency Update ***

- For accounts actively participating in the 3 day Underfoot access promotion, we are extending the access through Saturday, March 13^th instead of Friday, March 12^th due to the issues experienced.

This is the 13th part of Underfoot's "Unfolding the Lore" series and focuses on the Convorteum, the end zone of the Underfoot expansion (from EQLive):

Overview of the Convorteum

The Underfoot works much like a massive factory, each creature working selflessly as one of many moving parts of a great machine. All of the beings of the Underfoot were happy with their tasks, until Brell's First Creation started spreading his heresy. The Convorteum is a secluded area of the Underfoot that is the home of the First Creation and the heart of the conspiracy against Brell. It is a massive, inverted pyramidal structure sprouting from the ceiling of a huge, lava-filled chamber. Those that have been converted to the Faith of Self come to the Convorteum at times to show their loyalty to the First Creation and to show that they accept the tenets of the Faith of Self - place oneself above all others. This creates confusion in the minds of some, mixed messages that have lead to much sadness, loss and even madness.

The new Tier 9 zone, Convorteum, went live today. You can find the zone listing here.

As always, you can help keep the database up to date by running Lucy's item collector in the background as you play (this automatically inputs and updates items).

You can also submit information by posting comments on item/zone/quest/NPC pages or by emailing eqteam@allakhazam.com. Your submissions are greatly appreciated, thank you!

Here is the "sneak peek" version (subject to change) of Wednesday's patch notes, as found on the patcher:

*** Highlights ***

- The Convorteum and the First Creation:

The Convorteum is a secluded area of the Underfoot that is the home of the First Creation and the heart of the conspiracy against Brell.  It is a massive, inverted pyramidal structure sprouting from the ceiling of a huge, lava-filled chamber. Those that have been converted to the Faith of Self come to the Convorteum at times to show their loyalty to the First Creation and to show that they accept the tenets of the Faith of Self - place oneself above all others. This creates confusion in the minds of some, mixed messages that have lead to much sadness, loss and even madness.

The servers are estimated to be unavailable for 8 hours. Keep an eye on the EQ Players website and the forums for status updates and for news if additional downtime is needed.
