All sounds pretty good I just find it difficult playing now knowing my shit is all getting wiped... except templates obviously. I've just been maintaining my upkeep once a week, which sucks having to only mine copper.. definitely looking forward to having currency in.

I log in a few times a week just to check the new stuff out. I have tested the building tools out and I can build anything my not amazingly creative brain can think up and execute and the caves are pretty darn nifty but due to the eventual wipe going into open beta I am not playing this like crazy because no point burning out now. Glass as a building material and water as a building material is going to allow for some pretty crazy designs.

Final banner for the Lunar anklet (has high jump) is out if you d/l the EQ Worlds app. Images inthread here
I imagine since it's granted to you, it'll be retained after the wipe, but that's just a guess.

And for those who are good enough to have a chance at actually winning a building contest, they announced on the livestream that they'll be wrapping up the dark elf style guide stuff that's been going on for the last month by having a contest for dark elf architecture. Rules are supposed to go up tomorrow.

Really impressed with how they are handling development of this game and their interaction with the community. Going to SOE Live this year and I am hoping that it's not a trainwreck like last year was. Their live stream was so horrible. The content was great but the production value was cringe worthy!

Agree totally..it always amazed me how they want SOE live to be take seriously, but use a cheap looking horrible live stream.

I'd like to try it out

EQ2Wire SOE Live 2014 Schedule Posted!

Live schedule posted.

For those who care about the Workshop stuff, they announced on the livestream that, now that dark elves are wrapping up, the next month will either be dwarves or kerrans. Roundtable poll to choose which is up now.

So I wanted to play this when it was alpha and didn't have the funds. but just got a week beta invite thing! I was excited! got it installed and logged in, hooooly crap lagging like crazy(i7 3.7ghz, 12gb ddr3, radeon 8600), but settings were on ultra, dropped it down to 'normal' (medium?) settings and got closer to 24 fps, decent I guess. Then 5 minutes into my first digging into the ground, game crashes. Yay Beta! log back in, get about 20 minutes more in, get a claim going, crashes again. Okay gave it one last shot. Started back in started trying to just put a few blocks together on the claim and computer FREEZES, have to force restart. Summarily uninstalled; probably the only one having this issue it seems.

I'm interested in seeing just how good a voxel EQN can look. For as refined and awesome as some of the structures in Landmark look, I feel like it's always comes with a "for a voxel build" in my head. All the finer details get a bit ugly, dull and flat and nothing matches the level of quality of that original EQN Freeport. Hearing Jeff talk about the amazing dwarf environments from the previous build (the last Dark Elf discussion) and being anxious to see them recreated with voxels makes it sting a bit more.

Here's to hoping a year or two of refinements brings many much needed improvements.

I have one last unlimited beta key to give away. Shoot me a PM.
