    Book tech - would you use something like this to read books?

    I'll try it, the website demo left me feeling dubious about it being a viable way to read a novel though. Part of reading is taking your time, rereading, pausing to reflect, laughing, etc I have never felt compelled to rush.

    I too wonder about the monetization aspect. I suppose they could sell special chairs and other accessories to Sims fans, but for truly successful monetization they have to sell a product in demand by the core gamer. I would not be opposed to a guild startup fee, it makes guilds more concrete as...

    I make good money, but not enough to afford the county average home price of $480,000. I qualify for a program that provides me housing at a reduced rate, at no cost to the taxpayer, sorry you don't. I can pay all my bills, tuition for continuing my education, mortgage, and even my medical bills.

    Yeah, thats kind of what I was thinking. A standardized unit ("voxel brick") that will allow you to make building much easier to quantify with friends. I think some form of standardized building units will go a long way to ensure scale across multiple parcels which is aesthetically important.

    I mean thats just an example, I don't really care to recreate that house. I haven't received all my computer parts yet and I've been using graph paper to put some designs together while I wait. Was wondering what the difficulties would be transferring lego directions into eq landmark creations.

    Is there any form of artificial gravity, or do we have architectural freedom in that respect? Awesome, just did my own research and it would seem that they do not enforce any form of in game gravity
