First see-through glass?

[Webin]

I was exploring Gorwyn (I probably spelled that wrong), and found the glass-pane windows.  They look amazing!   Am I correct to believe this is the first time such see through material has been done in EQ2?  It may be just eye candy, but I'm a big fan of watching technological advancements put to use.

Translucent geometry/texturing is far from eye candy.  It's been possible since...well...pretty much ever.  Nothing in this engine is bleeding edge - the effects simply aren't used to any worthwhile effect in other MMORPGs.

Transparent glass has existed in EQ2 from the beginning. In fact at least one of the newbie quests result in a home item that looks like a beaker that is transparent.

I was expecting something really cool and was disappointed with the item once I placed it in my room.

The walkways in Soloseks Eye have transparency as well IIRC, and that for sure was around at launch.

Ya,  sols eye was amazing the first time i went through it on my 40ish templar, i kept getting snapped at for not healing cuz i was too busy checkin the 'eye candy', on a side note, ya, see through windows in rooms has been sadly lacking, im glad to see it in rok, would have been nice in the dof or eof housing, as those rooms are just so... disappointing in general, complete lack of design, id say the devs let their children do the housing for these expansions, but even children would have more imagination...
