Over the years, EverQuest II players have remained some of the most dedicated in any virtual world.

Since Player Studio first launched, we have constantly found ourselves impressed and humbled by the boundless creative talents of our players. Over the years, members of our community have created countless new items that help bring even more color to the world of Norrath.

After nearly 6 years, the Player Studio program has concluded for both EverQuest and EverQuest II.

Player Studio items that have been previously approved will be released and remain in-game, but players will not have the ability to submit new items.

We’d like to thank each of you for sharing your creations with us.

Im curious if its possible to make items like doors, walls, bushes, booksheleves etc that can block doors visually, but still provide access to what lies behind.

Ideally this would be a property that the user could set when placing any item, but Im wondering if designers have the option to request / set it as such.]]> Fri, 29 Aug 2014 20:29:39 +0000 https://forums.daybreakgames.com/playerstudio/index.php?threads/tangibility.11500063523/ https://forums.daybreakgames.com/playerstudio/index.php?threads/tangibility.11500063523/ Eanelder Eanelder 12 Transparent windows
I am very into housing, and my last creation can be seen on the Firiona Vie server (Knights of Infinity Village IV), along with Hiddenmage (that´s a classic EQ museum that you are sure to enjoy).

You know what I would like to see developped? Transparent window tiles.

Create that and you will see na item that will sell like crazy and a complete new era on EQ housing !

I play on Agnarr and looking at the Exquisite Velium Warsword is absolutely lovely to me. Is there any way to get a design similar in the marketplace? I already have better than the war sword, but I dislike the design of Frostwrath....if there isn't time or whatever for devs to do it, are there tools available for me to create my own designs to submit? If there are tools available and player design is allowed, I want to design a lot of stuff (it may be plain looking, but I kinda like that).]]> Wed, 22 Nov 2017 15:59:51 +0000 https://forums.daybreakgames.com/playerstudio/index.php?threads/primal-weapon-skins.11500083965/ https://forums.daybreakgames.com/playerstudio/index.php?threads/primal-weapon-skins.11500083965/ RandomStrategy RandomStrategy 1 Shield alternative ornaments Mon, 26 Jun 2017 17:38:09 +0000 https://forums.daybreakgames.com/playerstudio/index.php?threads/shield-alternative-ornaments.11500073397/ https://forums.daybreakgames.com/playerstudio/index.php?threads/shield-alternative-ornaments.11500073397/ aradiell aradiell 2 Tower suggestion Tue, 23 May 2017 14:07:33 +0000 https://forums.daybreakgames.com/playerstudio/index.php?threads/tower-suggestion.11500072305/ https://forums.daybreakgames.com/playerstudio/index.php?threads/tower-suggestion.11500072305/ Aerymar Aerymar 4 Cloth Legs Ornament Mon, 11 Sep 2017 22:51:03 +0000 https://forums.daybreakgames.com/playerstudio/index.php?threads/cloth-legs-ornament.11500080389/ https://forums.daybreakgames.com/playerstudio/index.php?threads/cloth-legs-ornament.11500080389/ Skullkrin Skullkrin 3 Trying to find a solution for better audio Wed, 06 Sep 2017 17:52:36 +0000 https://forums.daybreakgames.com/playerstudio/index.php?threads/trying-to-find-a-solution-for-better-audio.11500076683/ https://forums.daybreakgames.com/playerstudio/index.php?threads/trying-to-find-a-solution-for-better-audio.11500076683/ hghrteye hghrteye 1 How are stained glass windows made ?

Would anyone please be kind and list instructions how to make a stained glass window for ever quest 2 please ?

I want to make a Stained glass window of a tree to match my guild cloak. I simply don't know which is the first program I would start with is there a Video I can watch that shows how items are made and how to use the computer programs?

I wish I could find someone who knows how and ask them if they could make a nice tree stained glass like a celtic tree of life and submit it to player studio I would buy many of them for my decorate something from floor to roof size .

I know not to use screen shots if I where to describe what im trying to create for player studio it would be very much like this picture and stained glass that can glow and have light shine through.

Please post here any suggestions or if you would like to help me try to make a simple stained glass window for player studio thank you and have fun :

I just started playing the game and I notice the combat is very slow. I think the game would be much more fun if the designers simply upgraded the attack speed of the characters. I don't know if attack speed is a stat that can be improved in game or not but I would say regardless it would be better if it's faster.
If I was really fighting a 80 pound rat in a cave there is zero chance I am going to stand there swinging my weapon once per 10 seconds. A child could swing a bat faster than what my character is doing (which happens to be a Barbarian.....).

I will mention I played through the intro part of the game once before and it was extremely slow just to finish that part so I reallllly don't think it's my imagination. I'm not trying to start my Everquest adventure as a whiney critic, rather as a dedicated gamer looking to enjoy the game 100%.....

If they intend to continue making expansions for the game I think someone should seriously consider taking 10 minutes and cranking up the speed on the action. If you've ever seen Grandma's Boy you might know exactly what I'm talking about. "Why don't we just render the trolls a different color???"

Yea.....would take zero time at all I would bet. I can't even imagine a single EQ vet not agreeing with me and I'm on level 1. I'm willing to stake my honor as a gaming nerd on this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feedback appreciated

I returned to EQ towards the start of 2014. I got excited with the changes that had been made, particularly the Hero Forge options.

I have no training in graphics or art (I'm actually a chemistry grad who now works in marketing).
I've gone through a number of posts on here to review some of the comments about others' work but would love to get some feedback on what direction to go.
If you have the time! Please comment.

Thanks,

I would like to try and make and submit house paintings for EQ2 but I have no idea where to start or how to create a simple painting frame. I don't ever expect to make super cool objects or anything, but I'd be so happy to just learn how to do this one thing. I have looked at all the links provided on the Player Studio site and searched the forums listed and I don't see anything posted that would tell me how to do this simple (?) thing! I know of the image restrictions of 512x512px, etc.

I completely want to do all the work myself, I just don't know where to start. I downloaded Blender but I might as well be looking at complicated tax code!

Any help would be greatly appreciated and I fully accept any comments about how stupid I may/may not be for asking/not knowing how to do this. I'd just like to submit some watercolor paintings or digitally painted characters in or Norrathian scenery.

If you look at some of the best in-game stores, the selection is much smaller and the detail available is sometimes better. You can see the item better, larger. The store feels more deluxe and the items feel more valuable. This is all subjective, of course.

We want to give you a better shopping and a better selling experience. And we want to draw more attention to your new items.

Also, we want to draw more attention to some of your old items by taking them away for a while, building demand, and bringing them back for another moment in the limelight.

To that end, we are doing Vaulting Sales in both EQ and EQ2.

In EQ, you can already see some of the items which will be vaulted if you are looking through the marketplace. Some items have a countdown timer which ends at the end of the month. Those items will then go into the vault. There will be a price promotion starting Monday on these items.

Many of these items are Player Studio items.

EverQuest II will also be running a vaulting sale starting Tuesday. It's a little late for Valentine's Day or Erollisi Day, but we are calling this "Love It or Leave It Sale".

At this time, after careful consideration, EQ2 decided not to vault any of the Player Studio items. Player Studio items will get addressed on the next vaulting pass in a few months.

Thank you for your support. You guys are key to our success and we wanted to give you a heads up.]]> Fri, 17 Feb 2017 17:41:28 +0000 https://forums.daybreakgames.com/playerstudio/index.php?threads/eq-eq2-and-the-proverbial-vault.11500070996/ https://forums.daybreakgames.com/playerstudio/index.php?threads/eq-eq2-and-the-proverbial-vault.11500070996/ Syrah Syrah 4 Request for Bigger Shields Thu, 09 Feb 2017 23:01:46 +0000 https://forums.daybreakgames.com/playerstudio/index.php?threads/request-for-bigger-shields.11500070911/ https://forums.daybreakgames.com/playerstudio/index.php?threads/request-for-bigger-shields.11500070911/ Pendace Pendace 7 Norrath Map in Artwork https://www.artstation.com/artwork/xKDq1

My two favorite items in the EQ universe are the Shinai of the Ancients and Rune Etched Bamboo Bo. There is nothing similar in EQ2 and I absolutely need them.

I am offering a Krono for anyones time that successfully designs these and gets them on the marketplace.

Having one or both of these appearances in game would make me so happy, I've wanted to see something similar in EQ2 for a long long time. The particle effects are already in-game (Ring of the Erudite-Qeynos) and I don't think it'd be too difficult to mock up both of these appearances.

REBB would be 2h, and wielded behind the back style. Sheath behind the back like a typical 2h.
Shinai would be 1h, sheath to the hips like a typical sword.]]> Mon, 30 Jan 2017 21:43:19 +0000 https://forums.daybreakgames.com/playerstudio/index.php?threads/eq2-a-request-for-2-weapons-offering-krono.11500070839/ https://forums.daybreakgames.com/playerstudio/index.php?threads/eq2-a-request-for-2-weapons-offering-krono.11500070839/ wiouxev wiouxev Request for Sword Ornamentation Thu, 15 Dec 2016 22:49:28 +0000 https://forums.daybreakgames.com/playerstudio/index.php?threads/request-for-sword-ornamentation.11500070584/ https://forums.daybreakgames.com/playerstudio/index.php?threads/request-for-sword-ornamentation.11500070584/ FLCreations FLCreations 3 EQ: new Frostfell items coming next week
