I just love how when a major patch comes out with a portion devoted to PvP/PK like adding a new PvP/PK skill or a new PvP/PK weapon. The PvPers/PKer immidiatly cry foul and threaten to quit the game. It happens in every MMO that I have played that has PvP/PK enabled in it. PvPers/PKers always want class balance skill balance and some uber item that allows for some really wicked PVp/PK fights but never suggest to the developers on what they want or how to immplament the ideas into the game without being too Over Powered.

I dont play on the pvp server myself, but the regular server I am on has been very populated lately, think people are realizing that station cash is just for purchasing cosemtic items, and that the quest rewards and faction items and raid drops are better looking and the fear has died down that station cash was going to be some type of thing that would allow people to buy weapons, and items that required you to enjoy the game, gladly that is not the case.

The same can be said of crafting house furnishings. Only a small number of people actually use player housing, and smaller still are the number who are serious about it. This means there just aren't a lot of people looking to by the sweet bed you crafted.

 

I'm a carpenter and you are underestimating the housing/decorating community by a long shot. I know what to make that sells easily and for a good amount and my character lives quite well. :)

While it's true a lot of the other crafts don't get much love not everyone gets sweet drops or raids. I've never seen a raid and don't plan on ever seeing one so I do in fact support my fellow weapons and armor crafters.. There's a whole casual community that a lot of people don't generally think of that will most probably be the ones supporting the game until it's death bed.

Best part of the patch is that it stopped players from zoning out of a zone once engaged in PvP combat.   Seems like the only ones crying are the people who can't run away now.  The threat meter is also a nice touch.  -Invaderzim(Templar) Nagafen.

ha I agree, if you think only a small number of people actually use player housing you are seriously missing out.  I consider the player housing in eq2 to be one of the best features of the game.  You want to do something for fun go to town and start visiting houses.  You will be amazed at the effort people have put into them.

I love my house and have bought a ton of stuff to decorate it as well as done collections and hunted down quests for that special rare house item.

It varies a lot, some people put a lot of effort into their houses, others less or none at all. But it is clear that the funtion is popular.

Mines a mess, stuff and trophies everywhere... But so is my IRL appartment.

I like the feature even though it is not the reason why I like EQ2, the game is still the MMO I have most fun in. Never underestimate peoples love of having their own place, both IRL and in games, that is why the Sims is suchh a huge succes.

I've got 4 big house..and frankly they're a mess,but i just send the wife into them and she does them up for me very nicely.

Hmm I just heard my friends going all crazy and their entire guild quitting EQ2 because of the latest patch notes.

They were saying the PvP is killed with the new patch notes since there is no loss in dying :O And that there are aggro meters in PvE which makes it feel cheesy and oversimplified.

Is this all true?

I hear there is a wonderful new game called Darkfall.

If PvP is what you care about the most I recommend you try it.. There is plenty of loss attached to dying there.

No.

What the PvP community wants in most established games is for the status quo to be maintained. If the balance were to be changed, their carefully min / maxed characters would have to be redone.

The player housing is one of the best features in EQ2. It allows for non-linear player progression and growth in a manner that does not result in players being overpowered.

Personally, I really like the apartment I maintain in Baubleshire, and I refuse to move out for larger housing in South Queynos. My wife on the other hand likes having a larger house and has her own carpenter. I think she spends more time decorating her room than anything else in game.
