September Producer's Letter & EQN Landmark Developer Diary

Looking forward to the lore piece about Ashfang!

Crafting stations can be found? Seems like having hubs with crafting stations is more community friendly, so I had envisioned small villages with the stations. I wonder if certain types of crafting will only be available if you find a particular type of crafting station (like the old racial armor requiring a special sewing kit).

The dev diary has some specific information that hadn't been released previously, although it's not really surprising. There will be 5 tiers of resources, with the rarer ones being found deeper (does that also mean more remote from the hubs?).

Good information, too, about inventory options, but nothing too new. The one thing that did stand out is the ability to build a vault. So that would be like building a bank that anyone could use to retrieve their banked items? Great idea for large projects that might be in remote areas.

I'm really curious as to what other goals they have in mind for why a person would explore. Of course there is the natural desire to see what's there, and the obvious collection of resources you find, but them specifically mentioning more reasons just gives me a little chill thinking about some possibilities. Is it possible we'll find ruins of ancient civs where bits of lore could be discovered? Perhaps there are hints or clues about how to create or rediscover lost magic or abilities? Just spin tingling to think about.

that would be pretty awesome if they did something like that. I love the idea of discovering lost civilizations.. I think it would be great to have some magic and abilities that can only be discovered through quests and such.

Perhaps there will also be achievements for visiting particular locations, or "uncovering" sections of the map. Would be kind of cool to have the ability to climb the highest mountain a plant a flag that says "I was here."

One of the things I liked about EQII were the marked items that were spread out in hard to find or weird places, with names inscribed on them. Such and such was here. Then you added yours, replacing theirs. *grin* Just one of those sort of neat extra features. Little things to find like that are great.

I always check the skeleton at the waterfall in Sinking Sands to see if the "marking" has reset so I can claim it for a little while. Oh, and the bench on the overlook in Gorowyn. I liked the idea of hidden caches that Rift had as well. Similiar idea, but the items within were useful - though not OP. They reset every so many hours/days. With the AI, I would love to see random caches that spawn and despawn.

So many lame points about EQ II are brought up, such as these ones.

So feel free to bring up the 'non-lame' bits? We were just talking about marking the world and such, and how EQII did that. *shrug*

I have to agree with Xurtan. I don't think anything is being constructively added by an opinion about what is "lame". By all means I'd love to hear your idea of "non-lame".

You're welcome?

BETA sign up going on for EQN and EQL?

I am more interested in EQL can I just sign up that beta?

When you sign up for the beta, you're signed up for both if you're in North America. If you're in Europe, the beta sign-up here is for EQL. If you don't want to participate in the EQN beta, you don't have to.

I really am enjoying this type of information release. The videos are short but packed full of new information. Keep them coming...

is EU/US EQN community going to be divided like in previous games under different companies?
hope not.. for beta though I could understand why a select group at home front is perfered perhaps
think it was prosebient or something like that but I refused to create an account there in EQ2 and went with SOE
