Some of these items will only earn experience from certain types of defeated enemies, while others earn experience from all types. As an evolving item levels, its statistics, powers, and even appearance may change.

An evolving may even gain particle effects, or have current particle effects enhanced. Hidden abilities may also be unlocked as an item evolves. Some evolving items may even possess an

Is this something new in EQLive or something you've made up?

I also logged to the live servers, got the 21 day free return.

The entire interface has changed, more like eq2 i think

How it works is - a portion of your earned xp is diverted to the item.. as the item gains xp - it "levels" like a player does.. as it advances in "levels" - it becomes more powerful until it hits it's maximum potential/power level.

Implementing evolving items will also require EQEmu to be live compatible, which were are not quite yet.

Some work is being done on it, but we're trying to focus on stability and functionality on the pre-9/13 patch instead of chasing live so hard.
