Whatever happened to all the Facebook games once associated with SOE? Not just Dungeon Overlord, but Wildlife Refuge, To Catch a Killer, etc… To be honest, I don’t play Dungeon Overlord nearly as much as I did in its early days, when I could spend a reasonable amount of Station Cash to do things (like transmute surpluses into needed items, or purchase boosts to research, mining, etc.).

And in a completely different direction — I was heartened to see the cherry trees appear in the Plane of Knowledge in EverQuest, symbolizing relief efforts for the disaster-stricken people of Japan. I would request that the trees stay there until the last person leaves the last emergency shelter and is back home. Do you suppose we could get some updates on what specific help was provided by the money we donated via virtual purchases? The earthquake/tsunami are no longer headline news, but the effects of those events will continue for years. Perhaps future items might be offered to continue aid….

The current ‘world event’ pointed out 4 things: the complete disdain of the non-90, non-raiding players and just how much damage a ‘prima donna’ developer can do to the entire community. It showed how the community can actually get together and defeat the large monsters; it also showed that the community will no longer remain silent and be shat upon by the developers and their ‘special’ friends. It is unfortunate that a core group of syncophants carry too much influence with the development team, so much so that the world population of Norrath is now largely ignored.

The disdain, Smed, is a trickle down effect from the top, as it is in any corporation. How do YOU plan to work with the EQ2 team to repair the damage caused by this event?

So what’s it like having a kid who can drive? What’s more stressful, quarterly financial reports or a child driving themselves to a nighttime activity?

“Why has experienced been so massively nerfed into the ground on overland mobs? I ask due to the amount of experience you used to get from training around and killing tons and tons of mobs used to make overland zones fun for PLing in that fashion. Nowadays it’s pointless and you’ll see that most of Antonica, Commonlands, Nektulous Forest, Thundering Steppes, etc etc etc are generally empty zones with tumbleweeds blowing through them. The reason for “that” is due to most people tend to now do their PLing by killing tons of mobs inside dungeons with higher Zone Experience Modifiers. I find that it seems to take away from the game to have massive zones generally always devoid of people for this reason. I remember back in the good old days (before Pillars of Flame) when people used to enjoy running around overland zones and bumping into each other, grouping and having fun, etc. Any plans to “up” the experience on overland mobs anytime soon?”

Dear Smed, would you…

a.) Please consider bugbears or aviaks as playable races for EQ2?
b.) Please consider mailing more than one item at a time?
c.) Please consider tinkered hand grenades with knockback?

My Inquisitor is mainly a group/instance player on the Bazaar server. As a group instance player, my gear progression has been several sets of armor. Starting with the quested gear, PQ gear, GD instance gear, and currently the Ry`Gorr set. This is not including the jewelry that comes along with it. My point is, it turns out to be Adornment intensive!! A person can go broke trying to keep his/her gear adorned to get the maximum for that set of gear. Would it be possible to get an ability to transfer adornments from one piece of gear to a new piece for a small fee? Maybe create a crafted potion that could be made and sold on the broker that would “wash” the adornment off of an old piece to be reused on a new piece?

Thank you for your time.
