I payed up the full duration for all houses, but they're bound to remain unpaid in 80 days or so (but prestige). If you ever need to visit in person one of those houses, several players have trustee access to all of them (but the commissions obviously). Commissions are : Noctal, Ubiohe, Sopranou, Sinergy and Santory houses. Players with access to the houses with one of their alts/mains are: Cloudrat, Pickett (tkia on the boards) and Opusbelli (Eldann on the boards, Danockh on Test) I hope leaderboard houses will, one day, exempt houses in it from needing to get a rent paid, or allow random players to pay the rent. That would be perfect. Farewell Norrath. Have fun. It was a nice journey together.
We'll be sorry to see you go, and will miss you! You've got a great talent there! Hope to see you back again someday (perhaps lured back for EQ3?)! Uwk
Sooooo... I decorated a lot, then stopped playing for 4 and a half years. Then I came back and my live server had merged and the building blocks were on a separated item count. So I thought "hey, I'll put a hold on publishing everything back and go back to my houses to update them". Hahaha. Who was I kidding. I wasn't able to finish a single house since I came back, so I finally went back and republished everything (after adding treasure chests for rent ^^). Keep in mind that the last of those houses was finished in 2012 (and on some, it shows, especially the Thurgadin Grand Hall which was maxed item-wise at the time and could benefit from a massive overhaul) Here is the updated list of every house I have with their current address: TEST SERVER : Blanchette - Blanchette's Burrow - Freeport - Jade Tiger's Den Basic Room 03 EFP (duplicated on Thurgadin) Blanchette - Haunted House - Torture Room! - Freeport - Jade Tiger's Den Comfort Suite 10 EFP (duplicated on Thurgadin) Leucosia - Leucosia's House - Qeynos - 2 Lucie Street SQ Leucosia - How to cook a Gnomish Dev - Qeynos Maj'Dul Vacation Suite Leucosia - Cheese and Cupcakes Storage Room - Qeynos - Dojo Leucosia - Dungeon maker - Crushbone 5 - Frostfell in Crushbone Leucosia - Dungeon maker - Lair of Scale 2 - Domino's Sanctuary is under attack Ludahnya - House of Events - Kelethin - Aerie Kolmas (duplicated on Thurgadin) THURGADIN : Aradunakhor - Maison de l'Artisanat - Freeport - Everfrost Portal Hamfastzz - Kingdom of Candies - Qeynos - 2 Lucie Street Ixilian - Fae's House - Kelethin Lugorey - Lugorey's Loft - Gorowyn - Gorowyn Standards Odeane - Tinkering Hiding a Druid's lair - Gorowyn - Timorous Heights Shilah - Fire and Ice - Neriak - 2 Walk of the Dead Sylunia - Willow Wood Inn - Qeynos - Lion's Mane Vestige Room - The Willow Wood Sylunia - Tile Elemental - Qeynos - Everfrost Portal (Just for the fun, that house was created for the Silly Elementile Challenge and the archived thread is here. And I found 4 videos from the challenge here.) Whilhelmina - Glory to Innoruuk - Freeport - 3 Compassion Road Whilhelmina - Glory to Innoruuk #2 - Freeport - 7 Integrity Road Whilhelmina - Haunted House #1 - Neriak - 1 Walk of the Dead Whilhelmina - Haunted House #2 - Qeynos - 8 Lucie Street Whilhelmina - Haunted House #3 - Freeport - Jade Tiger's Den Comfort Suite 10 (duplicated on Test) Whilhelmina - House of Events - Kelethin - Aerie Kolmas (duplicated on Test) Whilhelmina - Blanchette's Burrow - Freeport - Jade Tiger's Den Basic Room 03 (duplicated on Test) Whilhelmina - Orange and Gold - Halas - Valor Homesteads Whilhelmina - Thurgadin Market - Thurgadin - Thurgadin Grand Hall Les Furies D'Innoruuk - North Freeport (T2) - Guild Hall Not published from other chars who do not belong to me (but I payed the rent so you can visit for a while) Ubiohe - South Freeport - Mistmoore Crag Estate Santory - North Freeport - 2 Integrity Road Sinergy - South Qeynos - 2 Bayle Court Sopranou - South Qeynos - Freeblood Portal Noctal - Kelethin - Aerie Kolmas There was a Mistmoore Crag Estate for Cloudrat too, but I'm unsure as to where it ended up, I think she had moved the character somewhere else.
Welcome back! Just out of curiosity, which Gnomish Dev were you referring to in Leucosia's "How to cook a Gnomish Dev - Qeynos Maj'Dul Vacation Suite"? ;-> Uwk who wonders if it was Ttobey...
Tsss, Ttobey is a ratonga! Nah, it's Gninja obviously! It all came down from him being a massive pain during the testing stage of the Druid Rings event. We were all making Voodoo dolls of him and sticking rusty pins in them, and I decided to make a house just for him *grins* We had a blast touring it with him and Cronyn (and I sent invites, either for the trap or for the restaurant, to all the devs at the time, it was a lot of fun). You have the full house and the text downloads on this page. Including all the recipes for sentient beings (recipes made from Gninja, Ttobey [Honey-glazed Ttobey] and so on), various signs and epitaphs. It's from that house that came the idea of calling the house item in the Anchorage "Leucosia's Humanoid Recipes". You can read the books on EQ2 Furniture too by searching for "Leucosia" and clicking on the book at the bottom of each item.
And does Feb have a house item named after her? (She really should; something to do with gardening... "Febrith's Miracle-Gro Plant Booster" or something... ) Uwk
It was just an unexpected perk of helping Gninja test the Anchorage (but we were all very very happy as expected)
There are 6 new recipe books in the house! All my thanks to Dreamweaver for volunteering! And all my thanks to Gninja for naming an item "Leucosia's Humanoid Recipes" (from anchorage, \aITEM -2072162478 414800868:Leucosia's Humanoid Recipes\/a )! On top of the recipe books, I added tombstones for all the devs and community managers I had the pleasure of eating: RIP Frizznik. Tasted better with apples than with garlic Here lies Zoltaroth. Was know as the best flavor thenceforth RIP Omougi. His spicy steak would please even a veggie! Here lies Cronyn. Sure was the guest star of the inn! R.I.P. Silius. Was cooked at 220 ° Celsius RIP Fyreflyte. That elf always tasted just right Here lies Rothgar. Spit-roasted, he was a star R.I.P. Piestro. Of all pies the maestro RIP Dreamweaver. Always the best piece in the freezer R.I.P Ttobey. Tasted way better than a turkey The other devs mentioned in the house (Kaitheel, Domino, Gnobrin, Lyndro and Haohmaru) don't have epitaphs as they were only guests in the restaurant and not dishes. Well, except for Cronyn as, being a dwarf, the best way to catch him was to make him eat and drink then bonk him on the head so he was guest and food at the same time!

Bon appét it!
Slight update: I made the Dreamweaver's gravlax (Smörgåsbord (part I)) and it was perfect. You really need to love dill or you'll have to forget all about this recipe, it's really... well... dilly I also made the Jannsson's temptation (Smörgåsbord (part II)). For that one, I didn't have the box of canned "anshovis" (didn't feal like running to IKEA and spend at least one 1h to do that on the off chance they had those). I found smoked sprats and put them in a marinade using the sugar/salt mix from the gravlax. I measured spices with a small teaspoon (1/2 to 2/3 of a real teaspoon) and used 1ts cinnamon, 1ts cloves, 1ts white pepper, 1/2 ts laurel 1/2 ts ginger, 1 drop of sandalwood essence. It didn't brine well because they were smoked (not smoke-dry but not all that mois either). Spicy effect was nice, it was too salty. I think I should have washed the fish before putting them in the dish. The fact that it wasn't a liquid brine probably didn't help either. So yeah, might want to check the salt level there, or add oil to the marinade. But taste was quite good albeit salty.
