Hi Folks.. after hitting lvl 40 in this game, here are some things I would like to see ingame: 1.) Need / Greed System This is my top most wanted. It would decomplicate group-play a little bit, especially for new players. Also a "Share Cash Loot" Setting in the Group-Options would be very nice (like in VG). For example, with multiple Items, every Item could get markable with "need" or "greed" in the Loot-Box. This would be really great. 2.) Browser I love the ingame-browser, but is there a way to get favs on it (saved locally)? Or at least, that the browser remembers the last adress when it is closed until you end the eq2-session (logout/toon change). 3.) Usable Chairs / Beds Gimme!!!!!!! <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> 4.) Friendlists shows Housing-Adress Yeah, really need this. So I can surprise my friends in their house and get a party / teatime started. Well, thats all.. the game is good so far, localiziation is advancing, so I am happy with the Game. Please excuse my poor English. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Greetings from Germany. rya.

I agree with all of your requests. Would be nice. Poor English? Hell, you write better English than I do. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I used to live in Wiesbaden, Germany when I was a kid. I now live in the U.S.  I love Germany. I would like to go back someday.

I dont recall the one I have now but it has favorites and they are pre-loaded with a lot of sites specific to EQ2. I know it isnt the in-game browser but these are great mods you might enjoy in the meantime.</p><p>Not quite sure what you mean on item 1 though. "Auto Split Coin" already exist so all coin is distributed equally among the party. Is there something I am missing on that? (I dont play VG so I dont have a basis of comparison).</p><p>How would the "need" / "greed" system work? Currently, Leader Only looting is used in combination with /ran 100 for those who need it. If no one needs its open to all. Are you envisioning a system similar to the recently implemented goof up that was making loot invisible to anyone that could not use it so only people with a "need" to enter the lotto for it if they group was makred "need" instead of "greed" which would open to everyone? That in itself could be interesting. Curious to hear your expanded thoughts. </p>

With "Split Cash Loot" I mean this: Currently you have to roll on ALL Loot that drops. No matter if its resource, items, spells or simple Cashloot. So I wish an Option where Cash-Loot is splitted in the Group autmatically and you don't have to roll anymore. This is very handy, since the Loot-Window just pops up if its something important. And everyone gets something to sell. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Need/Greed: You get a Window for a single Item (starting with "green", perhaps include q-starting-items) with a "Need"-Button and one which says "Greed". If 2 select Need, ony they roll on the Item, greeders are skipped in that case. If there is no Need in the grp, its normally randomed, just like now. The System you mentioned would be cool too. There are several ways to implement that. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <blockquote> I dont play VG so I dont have a basis of comparison. </blockquote> You should <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />. It's a [Removed for Content] good game. I am just waiting for server merge atmo, because Infinium is too empty to group up regulary. And too less Content for soloing.. But perhaps I'll stick with EQ2. I really like the Game. <blockquote> I used to live in Wiesbaden, Germany when I was a kid.

Windows. Sometimes I mute the Gamesound and listen to Music while playing. When reading lfg-channel, I sometimes miss whispers. With the whisperchannel in all my Chattabs, this wouldn't happen. rya.

So either... it's not coming, or it's not coming till the skeletal model revamp, which has been "in process" for a year or more.

<blockquote> Yeah, really need this. So I can surprise my friends in their house and get a party / teatime started.</blockquote> Or find them in bed with your clan leader... at least that explains why they have so much more DKP than you do....

That reminds me. Does anyone remember Ceciliantis? He was on Permafrost (my mains server).  Bahahaha! That episode was hilarious, not to mention it spread world-wide in less than a day. If you want to know about it, just google ceciliantis. I'm not going to post any links cause it has some adult content.

Stuff like 'a damaged snake skin'. It would be really nice to have it auto-distribute this stuff. Even better might be a few check-boxes... Auto-distribute __ Vendor Trash __ Uncommon __ Treasured
