Bristlebane Day is Norrath's April Fools' Day. Bristlebane is the god of mischief.
For 2014, April 1st began with Bristlebane randomly changing the appearance of people in the Guild Lobby. SOE announced that the quests should return around April 9th.
Also, on April 1, the theme music you hear when EQ starts was changed. If you have the music off (like I do) you can hear it by playing eqtheme.mp3 in your EverQuest folder. Or you can click here.

| “ | 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 | ” |
— March 27, 2013 patch message | ||
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."
