EverQuest Patch Timer

[Fry]

I've added an EverQuest Patch Countdown Timer to our front page. You can only see it if you are using our black theme (Which 95% of people do). The question is asked many times daily about how long until the next patch, I hope this helps people out.

Let me know what you think.

Great idea! I like it.

(Suggestion: The timer layout might be a bit easier to read if each unit received its own line, like so:

00 Days
03 Hours
49 Minutes
05 Seconds)

Done. Thanks for the idea.

Very cool, tho I'm glad I don't play EQ much anymore or else I might have to go through the usual 8 hour (unexpectedly 13 hour) patch.

We should start doing contests with pools. You guess which time block the patch will end, and whoever wins gets a cool prize!

00 Days
03 Hours
49 Minutes
05 Seconds

Lol, or how about a prize for how many more bugs they add into the game by trying to take 1 out.

Switched timer to when SOE estimate the servers should be back up.

That's an awesome idea! Where does it pull its info from for next patches out of curiosity? Or do you manually start it up whenever you check the EQ website to see if there is a patch soon?

I'm just manually doing it at the moment. If anyone gets a heads up about a patch please let me know.
