Originally posted by Pelaaja Considering LoTRO had those 2 years ago, maybe. Does that mean LOTRO should have real time combat, a lot more classes and an update to character customization options. Considering AOC has had them for over a year? I really don't see the point, when there's a lot that needs to be done that should be considered far more important.

LoTRO got the cosmetic outfits in Book 12 which was released Februay 13th 2008, 9 months after release. EQII patched in appearance slots in mid 2007, August or September if I remember correctly. At any rate it was after I unsubbed which was in June 2007. Edit - found it . EQII's appearnace slots made their debut in update 38 which was September 13th 2007, here is the Warcry article on the patch eq2.warcry.com/news/view/76826-Everquest-2-Game-Update-38-Is-Now-Live Appearance * Upon reaching level 20, you'll be able to access new appearance item slots on the inventory window. * Items worn in the appropriate slots in the Appearance tab will override the outward appearance of your character. * Items worn in the Appearance tab will not convey any of their benefits to the character wearing them. * Some clothing items, such as city rewards will be wearable by everyone.

Lotro had it 1 year ago 9 months after release and 1 year after it was in EQ2. It doesn't really make it a valid argument to bury AoC attempt to bring them now to which I obviously objected. And I'm pretty sure the cosmetic gear is around since 2005, I can't remember the game. Thought it was EQ2, but now I see it was something else. REALITY CHECK

Anarchy Online was the first game I can remember with social item slots, like the famous sunglasses.

Still April to February makes it 10 months from LoTRO's release to social outfits and September to February is 4 or 5 months from EQII's social clothing to LoTRO's book 12. Sometimes I am tempted to restart EQII but all of my old guild there has moved now to LoTRO and/or Aion.

About time? I think so. Perhaps, but to me there are more glaring issues that need to be dealt with. Of course. But happy to know there are plans and considerations taking place for it. I would have preferred if they had planned for something more substantial. Adding social armors won't save AoC and is not what players are asking. There are plenty of future short term updates that the company is working on out there. Which is where you will find preference if your an average subscriber to the game. Many people had surveys so I am sure FC have a good idea on what people are asking for. This I would class fits into some asking for but right up high on the list. Simply put it is news that this will come through at some point. That is how I am taking it.

Seems to me that an mmmRPG that makes no provision for social clothing at launch is screwing up from the start. I know that the rpg elements of an rpg don't appeal to everyone, but the kind of players to whom they do appeal to are the kind of players who make an online community fun to be a part of whether you care or not. They should have made AoC a giant deathmatch console game like they wanted to.

I would prefer if it only worked in some places on them but in all places except Sieges on PvE servers. LOTRO did added some features to the MMOs but this is one of EQ2s ideas, they have actually added a lot of small stuff that other games have copied.

As far as I know have all games used the same idea from start if they even had any social clothes at all from launch. Appearance slots is something EQ2 made a few years ago, and some others patched in after that.

All clothing was armor with appropriate stats. iirc heavy armor wearers couldn't wear cloth armor? I know there was a listing for 'social' clothes in the market but it was empty. Last time I checked, 2 months ago it was just the clothes left over from the tutorial. Thats it.
