~SoE~

What the world really wants is the deadline date for the PC’s & PS3 consoles to collide together as one not only in EverQuest II but all of the MMO’s on Sony’s line-up.

p.s. Just Like SoE claimed, perhaps I missed it? Will we see this in 2009?

So, far I have enjoyed the new expansion, There are a few bugs in some of the shard quest but besides that it is great. One thing that i would like to see is something that was mentioned before. A Guild Broker amenity for the guild halls. Make it where you can sell stuff for coin or status and the coin and status made from it is deposited directly to the Guild hall. The guild halls are great and in most guilds everyone contributed to get everything started but then after the new is warn off it is left up the the guild leader and Officers to keep it up. This would give them a tool to help them keep up the rent and get new aminities.

Sincerely,
Douglas

So, it’s not enough that the most cool items (appearance-wise) come from an external card game (LoN), now all the remaining cool items will come from an external paid service as well? That’s really so exciting…

Of course, we DO have a choice. We can always choose not to spend additional cash on something that should be included in our subscription. In case you didn’t know, making all the most cool items only available for additional cash IS unbalancing. Appearance is an important factor in game, numbers beside our gear are not everything.

Luckily, new appearance items available so far via Station Cash are just unimaginative, ugly (in my opinion, mileage may vary) and already available in-game (this is most important). But I have a strange feeling it will not stay that way for long…

In summary: appearance IS an important factor in game. Exclusively restricting the most unique items to an external paid service IS unbalancing. Please keep it in mind.

Sincerely,
A disappointed customer

If SOE do with the conviction,
please make it brand-new look
and developed for exclusive use.
(house items / decorative armor)

The current lineup already only exists.
best regards.

The fluff armor and house items and pets would have been just fine to me, the experience potions for adventuring, achievements, and tradeskilling though make the hard work I dedicated to my level 80’s worthless when someone can just bypass it with a wad of cash.

Sorry to see SOE going this way, personally.

I’ve got to say — I’m not normally a fan of the “microtransaction” model. But, the items I’ve seen so far in EQ2 for Station Cash show that there is still hope for it to coexist with a subscription model without affecting balance.

The EXP potions and fluff items (house items / decorative armor) are just the kind of thing that are OK to come from such a model, so I’m very glad to see that the offering has been limited to those so far.

Keep up the good work =)
