SOE has posted a preview of the upcoming game update 43 for EverQuest II, including changes to the way "shiny" treasure and group looting are handled.

Game Update 43 Preview!

Game Update 43 will bring you some new group looting options as well as a change to how you harvest the ever elusive "shiny"!

"Shiny" Changes!

Have you ever harvested a "shiny" to only wish you hadn't? That irresistible, sparkling glow that lured you to harvest it ends up being a collectible added to the other 5 of the same item in your inventory; an item that is too low of level to sell for a respectable amount to a vendor and so common that no one's buying it from a broker. Upcoming with Game Update 43, you'll be able to choose to keep it or leave it! "Shiny" collectables will soon work much like treasure chests, giving you the option of taking the item with you or even setting that "shiny harvest" to lotto with others within your current group!

GREAT, LoTRO looting. Now everyone can hit need and make the changes obsolete. Of course if your in a group of people you trust its not bad I guess. I think Ill stick to lotto tho.

If it was that easy, everyone would do it.

Vanguard does this also.

So this is SOE's idea of an update worth bragging (or marketing) about? For those paying their monthly EQII subs, I hope you all get some real content.

This game is nothing BUT content. I think other games (INCLUDING other SOE games) could learn from it.
