Summary
This Android application allows you to view Everquest and Everquest 2 guild, character and item details extracted from eqplayers.com and eq2players.com. Search for guilds, character and items and view their stats including guild members, equipped items and alts. Chat with members of your guild.
To access guild chat, long-press on the name of a guild either on the favourites screen or the guild search screen and select the appropriate menu item. I haven't tested this on servers with multi-word names such as AB or LDL so I'd be interested to see what kind of results people on those servers get.
Note that guild chat requires you to enter your Sony Station username and password. I can assure you that I don't steal this data and it is stored in an encrypted form on the phone but in the end it's up to you whether you trust me enough to enter that data. Baseless accusations of data theft in feedback on the Android market will, however, be reported as harassment to Google and may lead to legal action on grounds of libel or defamation.
This application is not endorsed by Sony Online Entertainment except for a friendly "good luck" from Kiara, the EQ2 Community Manager :)

The changelog is can be found hereKnown Problems
Bug tracking is now through the project page: http://www.xp-dev.com/tracking/62783Issues Caused by SOE (i.e. stuff I can't fix)
- Guild chat is limited to /guildsay, /tell and log-in/log-out events. I can't add support for item discoveries, guild level dings, character dings, officer chat and a myriad of other things that aren't supported by the protocol.
- The app can't search for data on servers that Sony's data source doesn't support such as PvP Test and Testcopy.

If you want to contact the author (Uxian) with any suggestions or bug reports, please feel free to do so using the address uxian.tw@googlemail.com.Please note that I am not working on new features and enhancements as much as I was a little while ago due to a new job with later hours and a much longer commute eating up much of my spare time. Feel free to request features and I will get around to them eventually (I may have a lot of free time on my hands after June). I will give priority to bug reports however and attempt to get problems fixed within 24 hours of receiving an email.
