That's one of the reasons I don't think templates will sell half as well as some people seem to think. Even if they don't copy it but make their own version I'd expect to see a price war between the 15 different versions of marble columns on the market.

Is there any good spot to find these ancient rootstock trees or is the tree as rare as it seems.
Go farm them on the island Shoal. If you look at the map as a compasss head west to that green patch of trees tons of them their to keep you occupied.

The ancient rootstock stuff is actually not that bad rarity wise its just that they sort of blend in at a long distance so its a bit harder to pick them out at long range compared to the others which are all really very very different than any of the trees near them.

I dont see that happening. There will probably be a set price for different categories of things, depending on size and materials used. The player studio stuff on sale in Planetside are all pretty much the same price. With prices being equal the competition wont be cost, but will be quality. This works best for Sony because it sets a more stable and predicable cash flow. It also will allow players just to create stuff and put it on the market without worrying about micromanaging their costs.

I'm sure there's going to be something resembling standards as well. Throwing a dirt column up on market is probably wouldn't engender the same interest as a hollowed out tower template and SOE would be silly to allow the former, mostly because it takes all of a minute to make one. Keep in mind they have a fair amount of experience with this thanks to the Player Studio in EQ and EQ2.

So, what's the best way to go about getting a free key for the closed beta, aside from begging for one? Are there any contests going on anywhere?

Free key?

Pre-order. Try it out. Tell them you want a refund after. They give it.

It's guarantee like or full refund since alpha.

No begging.

Well, preordering isn't exactly free and they did give a lot of spare keys out for just this purpose. I was hoping a few people that got 4 keys, had a few left. Thanks.

Might know of an extra, Corvid. Laura's friend has only handed out 3 we think.

Glowing Building Materials
Eight new luminescent building materials can now be crafted at the Saw Table refining station. Once crafted, you can find Red, Orange, Green, Yellow, Blue, Indigo, Violet, and White Lumicite under the Stone section in your Material Tray.

GPU Physics
For those with PhysX compatible graphics cards we?ve enabled GPU based turbulence and destruction particle effects. You can see some examples of these on the Leyline crystal on at the Portal Spire, the Void Vault, as well as mining and harvesting debris.
This setting is located in the Game Settings > Video > GPU Physics.

Template Change
We changed how props work in templates a bit. If you attempt to place a template that has both Voxels and Props, we will continue to report (as normal) what materials / props you're missing. However, if you have enough materials to place the template, but not enough props, we'll allow the placement of the template, minus any props that you might be missing.

Party Fix
Party members are now visible on your minimap.

Bug Fixes
It's possible you could get in to a state where Upkeep timers were saying "Zero Days remaining" even if you had a balance in your Upkeep Bank. Fixed!
Occasionally, tooltips would remain on the screen until you activated another tooltip. This should occur with far less frequency.
Fixed an issue where you couldn't build across Claim boundaries.
Rare trees should appear more frequently.
Looks like we've nailed down the issue where props would disappear / reappear after changing islands. Rejoice.
Props now collide with each other. This will greatly help initial placement of a prop when placing it on top of another prop. You can still force props to interpenetrate by using Tweak mode or the normal placement controls.
Fixed an issue where the sky would become unnaturally bright when going underground in the Desert biome.
Twitter would sometimes occasionally fail to post a screenshot. This should be resolved.
Wind has been restored to all biomes. May your flags wave briskly.
Tin should now appear more regularly at the end of copper veins.
Sometimes you would fall through props if you were standing on one when the Map opened. No longer!
You can now attach materials to Mail, directly from your Collections window in your Inventory.
The ESC button should now properly close the Mailbox and the Leyline window.
If you cancelled the deletion of a Claim, the Delete Claim button would remain grayed out until you re-opened the window. Fixed.
You can now use the following characters in your Claim Description: !@#$%^&
Sometimes when you joined a chat room, you could never leave it. This shouldn't happen anymore.
Party leadership is now passed to the eldest member of the party, when the leader leaves.
Fixed an issue where you could place multiple items over each other, in the Mail attachment window.
If you teleported from your claim to your friend who is not on the same island or world, your claim header could persist. This is fixed.
Previously, you could attempt to add yourself as a friend while in a group. Not anymore!
