For 2014, SOE has announced that the quests will return April 9 to April 23.

 * A Fool's Errand - Reward is Fool's Pie and an achievement.


 * Let's Have Some Fun! - First introduced at the end of March 2011. Reward is Squirting Flower.

2014
For 2014, April 1st began with Bristlebane randomly changing the appearance of people in the Guild Lobby. It was the same as what happened in 2013.
 * SOE EQ forum: Can You Fool the God of Mischief?

Also, on April 1, the theme music you hear when EQ starts was changed. If you have the music off (like I do) you could have heard it by playing eqtheme.mp3 in your EverQuest folder. You can click here if you want to hear it.

SOE has announced that the quests will return April 9 to April 23.

2013
April 1st is Bristlebane Day! Keep an eye out for an Emissary of Bristlebane in the Plane of Knowledge, who will have a task for adventurers level 55 and up starting on March 31st. I'm trying to draw a pretty picture of the Guild Lobby, but you keep messing it up. I made you much easier to draw now!' - Bristlebane

On April 1, most characters in the Guild Lobby are invisible, except for their primary / secondary items and their name (Shadowman illusion). Some are tumbleweeds, vases, or treasure chests.

"Bristlebane tells you, 'You'll be MUCH easier to draw like this!'"

2009
The classes got a rename.

The EverQuest team said this was "to correct some inconsistencies with many player's perception of class roles compared to their intended roles...[they] hope that the new names will help alleviate any confusion there might have been about their intended roles and class vision. We've also modified the various class titles as they change over levels in order to more accurately portray their progression through the game."
