Looks good. I've been expecting one of them for a while actually, and I'm suprised they're making us pay for it.

no they are giving non payers a LESS SOPHISTICATED version of it if you read. I assume it will be like that for the Guild Managment tool also...and what I am psyched about is the armor dyes...finally all my mismatched armor will be all the same color!

they are putting dyes in EQ 1 now? Omg, they just couldn't wait to rip off DAOC.
I thought they were going to wait till EQ 2 to rip off every up to date mmorpg.

Technically, wouldn't the dyeing be ripping off Ultima Online? You were able to dye fabrics since day one, and I *believe* (although I haven't played UO for a long long time) that you've been able to dye armors for awhile now too. =)

When it comes down to it... just about anything they could add as an extra non-game play based "toy" would be ripping off someone somewhere, even if they didn't realize it. As an American flag cleric, (armor is Red, silver(white), and blue) I can't WAIT for the dyes... I'm sick of looking like a flag... rofl

Don't forget that a lot of the things in EQ and DAOC came from user suggestions years ago. Who ripped off who? and who cares?

you could say that EQ ripped off D&D but then D&D ripped off Tolkien's works but Tolkien got alot from past fantasy novels and folklore of Ancient Europe so in reality no one has ripped off anyone.

You have to realize that Verant can't think on there feet, or why else after a patch they have to repatch due to something breaking yeah they say its something they didn't think was going to happen, if thats the case then why was it ever on the test server??? |

To fully regression test the entire thing before ever patch would take forever.. These things are going to happen.. Imagine changing a letter in a 1500 page novel, just to find out that one letter changed 500 other letters that you have to manually go in and find and fix..
Thats software engineering....
