Instruments Being Introduced in GU35?

[Ponos]

<p>I heard a rumor that we'll be able to purchase and play instruments in the near future a la Lord of the Rings Online.</p><p>Is there any truth to this?</p>

[Dragowulf]

as far as i know you are able to purchase instruments.  I know because in test they sold for about 2g 40s.  I'm new at testing checking out arasai so  i didnt have the money to buy it.  Many say that they don't work. Look at the test update notes. As far as the "like lord of the rings online", I'm not sure.  When examining an instrument all i saw was the effect saying something like "play blahblah blah" and it was in the charm slot.  got to get someone else to see.

They don't look to be limited to any class nor do they appear to be anything except fluff items.

[Mareth]

I want an el-guitar :/

ROFLMAO @ SOE. They are a scared bunch of no imagination copy-cats at SOE. They are losing people left and right and rather than make an engaging game they copy other peoples successful elements; Wargs, now playable instruments. Sorry SOE but you gave me just a few more reasons to leave after three years of hard-core raiding and gaming. Your EoF stinks with lack of content (4 instances that grow old after two weeks), your lack of ideas for raid mobs (Oh gee how about power drain, or hey maybe we can debuff!). Nope screw this game and the path it is heading down, hell they couldn't even come up with something new so they even ripped off EQ1 with the last expansion. After they hosed SWG it appears they'll do the same to EQ2. Shame it had potential. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial"> </span>

<p>Can I have your stuff?</p>

Yeah... People complained about the mount selection, new mount, Warg (a creature with a VERY lengthy fantasy background) is introduced. People have complained since release on and off about fluff things like instruments and being able to sit properly. Musical instruments are introduced. [Removed for Content] TEHY KEEP STEALING IDEAS FROM OTHER GAMES!1!! So... see ya, I hope you find your trully origional game, where nothing is done that has been done before and where the zones overflow with contested raid mobs.

You may continue to waste your summer and money on EQ2 but after three years I am done. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial"></span>

Its very hard to be completely new with something in a society that has a few millenias behind it. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Yes i agree, new stuff rocks! When you buy out Vanguard please steal diplomacy, the bard song system, and the pet graphs system =)

[Payneal The Great]

Sorry forgot the on-topic discussion. This sounds really cool. Hopefuly they use this to implement a system that allows for more random roleplaying encounters. I dont know, maybe by making some benefit to playing the instruments in taverns or citys?

Instead of just complaining about things being added that the population has asked for, why don't you list some things that you are apparently looking for in the game?

I don't hate the community but I have come to detest SOE and what they shovel out as updates. EQ2 will live on no doubt, but it well without me as I am totaly bored with their offering. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial"></span>

You all can enjoy it, I don't mind and I won't continue posting here. But I am glad I quit seeing what they pass off as updates. L8R and GL.
