The initial response to Station Cash has been a success for SOE and we are looking forward to new offerings for both EverQuest and EverQuest II in the not too distant future. In fact, the response has been so strong that game teams are adding new employees dedicated to Station Cash, to allow us to continue to add new and exciting items to the marketplace, without having to pull from the core development. In addition to strengthening our development teams with new staff; we want to be very open to you and your ideas for future items in the marketplace. Which is the purpose of this thread, what would you like to see in the marketplace next? Please share your ideas for things you would like to see that fit within the spirit of the marketplace (please don’t ask for Epic’s…). I’ll be tracking this thread and reporting internally on the things that you guys ask for. While I can’t guarantee that every single requested item will make it in the games, and can’t set a schedule from your idea to delivery as a game asset, I want you to know that we are quite serious about not only hearing your input, but putting it to work if it’s viable. As a reminder, t<a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=438341" target="_blank">here is an existing thread</a> for your thoughts and feedback about the new Station Cash system and this one is intended only for your ideas about the things you would like to see us do next! Please respect that and keep your new item ideas and feedback in the appropriate threads. That said, the ball is in your court; what would you like to see next in the marketplace?Edit/Note: I know that "Station Cash" is not showing up in the forum view for this thread. There is a bug in the forums preventing it. My apologies to anyone confused about what this thread is before reading it.

Hmmm some unique Plate armour, shield arm fully covered with defensive armour and the sword arm lightly covered. Weapon molds, some people dislike the look of their epic weapon, its been done in EQ1 through LON.

12-15-2008, 09:31 PM

I think what would be cool is to allow a bit of flexibility with crafting.1) Wouldn't it be cool if an armorer could make unique hews of armor? This might allow for more diverse looks among characters.2) I know this might be impossible, but what about allowing the Carpenter to dictate the content of High end paintings? I always thought it would be cool to have a painting of our guild...giving the Carpenter a chance to craft a painting with lets say, a high elf Guardian, a dark elf Necro (etc). Leaving the race and class up to the crafter. This might spike the usage of commision crafting. Just a thought.~Eula(Maybe an online dictionary for folks who spell like me?)

one thing i NEVERwant to see is growth or shrinking items/cloaks/potions/scrolls/spells/armor/anything. that needs to stick to extremely rare loot cards in lon and vet rewards. alot of people worked/played hard and for long hours to get them. to make them just available to any level 1 player thta just started would be too much.one thing i'd like to see.... hmm.... well, at least transparent armor for legs/chest. i'll be the first to ask for it here, as i'm sure there are quite a few that want it.currently, the Ceremonial Vest is closest to invisible chest armor for females, and any of the skirts are the closest to legs. why no mini-skirts? why no short shorts? for that matter, why no shorts at all? they are just non-existant in eq2. never understood that.that's my wants/dis-wantsedited for spelling/grammar

People are absolutely going to hate me for saying this, but I really do mean it. Temporary "up-mentoring" potions that allow you to *temporarily* level up to equal the level of a member in your group... so you can have the full range of content available to you even at the very beginning of the game if you so chose, without having to grind up the treadmill. We already have mentoring DOWN to enjoy previous content, which basically forces you to the treadmill to get to 80 so you can go BACK to experience lower level content, but being able to mentor UP would be great for making more content accessible sooner. It's all about having options and being able to group with your friends.The downside to such a potion.. the lower level player mentoring up could not use higher level spells than he/she has currently (though their strength would be adjusted), cannot equip armor of higher level than their base (again, which would have stats adjusted for the duration of the potion), and cannot loot anything but shared coin and trash (no participating in rolls). Also XP would be gained at a rate normal for the base (pre-buff) level towards normal leveling. Lastly, there would be no mentoring XP bonuses at all for this.Now, I'll be hiding away in a sealed vault to avoid the inevitable backlash of this suggestion. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

@ten - as long as the player using the mentor up potion cannot equip higher lvl armor, use higher lvl skills, and cannot loot anything except trash/coin, i'd say that's fine. the likely hood many high lvl players would do this is low (including me, at 79. i'd do it with friends, but not random people), so i doubt it'd be a big problem

How about an adornment that would make no-trade/attunable items tradeable. Then I could use my old raid gear on alts or sell it.

Keep it fluff. Keep it convenience. Beyond that, I'm fairly flexible. I don't think you'll ever need to put a single piece of stat gear into the market for it to succeed. I may even buy the occasional piece of art or what have you. However, you don't need to create or allow any items that are game affecting in any significant or meaningful way. For myself and many others, that would be killing the golden goose.

Just a quick word of caution over disagreeing over the ideas of others... The goal of this thread is a bit of a public brainstorm. Please don't stifle folks who have ideas you don't support, because right now what's important to us is a free flow of your ideas. As we narrow things down, suggestions such as "Let me buy my epic!" will be filtered away as they are not exactly the intent of Station Cash. While we are in brainstorm mode though, please let people fire out any ideas they have. That way it's about the ideas first. Thanks!

An eyepatch.Racial Illusions that don't require petrified eyes and bones, and can be left up permanently if desired(along with that the ability to set appearance for your illusion)Illusions that applied to the mount rather than the character. That way you can add mounts into station cash without making it gamebreaking because people still need to aquire the actual mount themselves, station cash just lets them make it look cool.

Could always add LoN packs to the store.Yeah more themed gear such as Pirate theme, Ninja theme, Clockwork theme, etcNot that i would ever buy any of it.

1)What about a bulletin board, perhaps in guild halls...where guildies could leave notes for each other. perhaps they would decay over X amount of time.2) What about a new form of quest that sends lower levels out on an odyssey of sorts. Simular to a HQ except that to complete the quest one must continuously venture farther out into the wild. No return home to check the broker or feed the cat...once started to recieve the reward or xp the player must struggle onward. Perhaps make it a low level series with a high xp reward.Perhaps this could even be a series of short quests where each player (either grouped or solo) is Guarenteed loot for their specific level/class at the end of the final encounter. The key would be persistance, perhaps over several play sessions. (Ducks from the snowballs)3) What about graphics to make it appear as if character can actually use furniture in their houses/halls? You sit on a chair, not hover above it kneeling. Or, simular to the sleeping orcs in Crushbone Keep (or feigning death), make it so a toon could sleep in their bed.

right.... edit thst first post. on a dif page.the first suggestion is the only one that could even remotly apply to station cash. i actually think that'd be a good idea for sc.hmm.......idea for station cash:a item that creates a statue of the player that buys it. exact replica, down to the armor/race/gender/height/face/skin/hair/weapons. and said statue can be placed in a guild hall or house. i'd like that, and it'd be purely fluffedited for horrendous spelling

BETTER fluff armor/clothing than what you have there now. Sorry, but the two outfits you have available now aren't worth the 10 bucks you're asking for them because they look awful IMO.<ol><li>clothing showing the midrift</li><li>leggings/pants without all the padding or puffiness</li><li>Loin cloths without the leggings</li></ol>More pets; house and personal.Something I miss from Istaria, the game formerly known as Horizons, are shoulder pets. I would LOVE to have a baby dragon perched on my shoulder. I believe for the Swashy epic you can have a parrot perched on your shoulder so that's a good starting point.More personal particle effects and allow them to STACK. It really makes no sense to have a particle effect on your hands and then turning on a particle effect on your face/eyes all the sudden negates the one on your hands.I'd love to see some of the LoN loot card items slowly trickle in to SC. As new LoN expansions get released the oldest expansion's items should get shuffled to SC (maybe keeping SC 4-5 expansions behind LoN).Personal Heraldry designs. Different symbols, edges, and foregrounds."Advanced" Guild Heraldry designs. Better designs that aren't so plain. Designs with real texture and richness in them.

As an occasional, mid-level EQ2 player, here's a list of what I'd be interested in seeing. My prefererence would be to see the top levels remain competitive in terms of itemization, but to see tiered itemization open up in the marketplace for the low-mid levels. 1) Very fast mounts to get around in the large zones 2) Good tiered items through the levels. eg. if you're buying something at level 30, it should work, but be at the top of the power scale for the 30-40 range. (See EQ1 for some good examples) 3) A quick way out of the mid-level game into more populated zones. The current game seems slower than EverQuest to gain levels in. eg. an option to start a character at level 70. Thanks,

How about some of the dungeon-dressing, or litter you see around various dungeons, NPC housing, etc. I'm thinking bedrolls, bottles, piles of hay, statues, that sort of thing, that can be used for housing deco?

Reread the first post and had to edit this...The station cash idea is fine, doesnt really effect the basic game play and gives SoE another line of cash income. Keeping the items like the first set (fluff items) : minor pots , house items, gear for looks all is really fine. Illusions of ....Particle effect items/gearCloaks of cool looks/fae falling no real abilities

I am 100% against anything being avalible with Smedbucks that would give any character an in game advantage over another in combat, so I am not suggesting anything along those lines.The first thing I would like to see is the ability to have in game paintings made of screenshots taken in game. A screenshot of a guilds first kill of the end mob of an expansion, a self portrait, whatever people want to pay for. In the past, this has not been able to be done due to the fact that any house item needs to be downloaded by every client, which is something that would still need to be overcome.The statue idea below is something else I was going to suggest, and would be considerably less of a technical challange to implement.The idea that many players have asked for, customisable house/guildhall sings/plaques.A plushie of in game mobs, any and all in game mobs! FromAll the paintings, mounts and house pets that were avalible as pre order/collection edition/retail/download /claim items.(something that would anoy me no end...) The /claim items from the Living Legacy promotion.I would also like to see some real life items avalible, but would like to see that line taken further than simple pictures of characters. The EverQuest IP has so much to it that there is a near endless supply of things they could make... some of my suggestions.Similar to the Billy plushie that was fan made, I would like to see some of the mobs in game made into more. The baby dragon would make an aweseome one, as would any of the VP dragons/Venekor/Darathar/Nagafen/DoF dragons/Vyemm/Harla Dar/Chel'Drak. Tarinax would be cool too, for those that prefer creepier things. I can see ratonga and Burynai being big sellers.Exquisite chests. Real life, full size, propper chests. I know these would not be cheap, but they would be awesome.Class hats. 'nuff said.Real life snow globes moddled after the in game ones. It is "frostfell", after all.Any of the urns/vases from the game. They are ambiguous enough to be able to gift them to anyone, and then laugh at the fact that you gave an online computer game based present to one of your grandparents that has only just come to grips with the fact that the people on television are not really 4 inches tall.I could go on and on about more things like the above that are not really feasible (well, they are if systems were set up propperly, in which case any of the in game furnature could be made irl), but I think you get the idea.

Maybe a clicky Fae/Arasai Wings item for those not of those races.For house items maybe a customizable guard for non guild halls or a clone of the player for a doll/fluff pet or perhaps a unicorn house pet.Pegasus and/or Drogmor Mounts.

More Class or Race themed fluff armor sets. For example:Barbarian Clothes: Mostly furs, etc. Something someone in Everfrost would logically wear.Also, dyes that only work on Marketplace bought armor sets. That way, there could be some individualization on these sets. I understand that in-game reward armors and crafted armors need their predesignated colors to differentiate them. But if it's a Fluff suit bought with SC, there's no real need to deprive dyes.Like Kendricke, my biggest suggestion is a rule to keep this stuff fluff.

Fluff .. pure and unalterated Fluff! .. stay with-in your current categories ..<ul><li>Appearance: Weapons, Shields, Bows and Mounts .. <ul><li>Requires giving us the option to use Appearance Weapons ... </li><li>Figure out how we can equip (1) mount for speed and (1) for appearance. Maybe by applying the same logic as Illusions, which ever is first, and then give us weird and cool looking mounts to purchase that have no speed value .. </li></ul></li><li>Figure out a way to allow us to turn (toggle/like HQ items) every single House Pet in game into a "Mounted/Plushie" type and give us more un-usual House Pets to purchase. <ul><li>No! Shiny hunters for purchase! Just visual pets/plushies!</li></ul></li><li>Fluff "follow me" pets and more silly shoulder "pets"? <ul><li>Might be interesting to have an option for a Good vs Evil shoulder "pet" .. a tiny Antonia or Lucan sitting on your shoulder. Are you going to listen to your good side or evil side? </li><li>Holiday Versions would be nice, too. A skeleton Parrot for Halloween, both as shoulder and follow me. A Frostfell Elf "sitting" on your shoulder or Following along side you would be cute. Your choice of Red, Green or Pink. How about "cupid dwarf"? For E-Day? *snicker* a pudgy little dwarf in a red diaper and wire wings that follows you around and tells everyone to "get bent" for E-day. Another Dwarf for Brew day that follows you around and hands out No-Trade, No-Value & No-Zone "green beer" to anyone that hails him/her. </li></ul></li><li>Illusions that have no DS proc to them and are just interesting. <ul><li>A Fae/Arasai & Sarnak Illusion maybe? An Eyeball, a Giant, etc .. <ul><li>But, whatever you guys choose, can we also please have a Female version to go with the Male version?! or, vice versa as the case maybe. </li></ul></li></ul></li><li>One line of House items that doesn't compete with the LoN Tapestries/Paintings and the Carpenter's Niche. <ul><li>Maybe, a special line of Plants? I know I've always wanted the Trees in SQ and those Man-Trap lillies in Feerrott but I'm sure someone could come up with some really cool-looking plants.</li><li>Big Trees, Hanging plants, Bushes, more cool looking vases with arrangements. </li><li>Holiday Arrangements, such as Halloween Stems of Eyeballs in a Blood Red Vase? .. etc .. </li></ul></li></ul>Just try not to crap on the Crafting Part of the game anymore than you guys have already. Don't forget to give cool looking armor/weapons and house items to the Armorer/Tailor/Weaponsmith & Carpenters while you are milking this cash cow. ... mm .. or any part of the game .. don't scrimp on the in-game fluff and REQUIRE the devs/whatever that are going to do this Station Cash to play the bloody game and actually like to play it! Don't make it a repeat of LoN, where I highly doubt the Devs actually play EQ1/EQ2 or at least hate the game so much that they don't care that they are crapping on multiple classes. --Edit add: oh and if you guys really do want to get into the whole "cafe press" thing .. T-Shirt with out choice of background, character and text. (check out what Disney does with their personalized printing), Mugs, Note-cards, matted and framed pictures, etc .. And, I'm still waiting for my "barbie doll" version of my Wood Elf Ranger!!!

In-game and out-of-game plushies of various Named targets and even some non-named (even a RL gnoll plushie could be rather cute).Additional colour combinations of wearables (armor items) in-game, the proceeds on the sale of such to go directly to fund the development of additional wearables, like a new robe shape, tops that show the mid-drift, non-poofy pants without side-pads or 'mud flaps, and so on which could then, ALSO (meaning, in addition to in-game means of acquisition) be added to SC in various colour combinations. This would give a double increase to the appearance customisations since it would be added in BOTH places. (but if a second robe shape was added as -only- SC, that would be -my- last straw)Colour variations on already existing house items to provide a variety without completely competing with an in-game class. And then add colour variations of those and the current existing back in to carpentry recipes.I really like the idea of adding in old LON expansion loot cards or even items from long past Live Events (like the candles from the first frost fell, the music boxes from the second, etc).'Inivisible' armor items for all the slots with the female version of it changing the female top to something less.. ragtag.I really really would like to see artwork of in-game characters, places, items, etc. Artwork suitable for framing, not jsut poster type stuff. Copies of the concept art would work there, too. No more than 11x17 size so it can be framed and hung and won't come folded, spindled, and mutilated.Real world mock ups of in-game items would be cool. The snow globes would be a big one there, with the music, too, I would be forced to resurrect my collecting of music boxes. Hats are spiffy and.. I could add to my collection *chuekle*.Link up with a company like Museum Replicas or the like to offer recreationist type items.What I never want to see.. Items with stats higher than the handcrafted of that level range. I can understand the idea of 'convenience items', but making the SC stuff better than what can be provided by players defeats the purpose of a player community. If someone wants to buy 'starter armor', fine, let it be something between NPC sold and the handcrafted.Any item required or highly needed for leveling, completing a quest, completing content, etc. I don't ever want to see a "buy this from SC or do thus and so really time-consuming and annoying side quest that doesn't have any other benefit to obtain thus and so which is needed for a quest step."New armor shapes only available via SC while still telling us they're so impossible to add into the game because of....

A "Private Social Club"....Not everyone belongs to a large Guild with all the nice amenities. What if there were a private club that you paid for monthly access to that had all in a large setting:<ul><li>Inn Rooms</li><li>Portals</li><li>Crafting Stations with full crafting services (merchants, trainers...the like)</li><li>Bankers</li><li>Brokers</li><li>Inn Rooms</li><li>Mail box</li><li>All kinds of vendors</li><li>City Merchants (for that city)</li><li>Specialty rooms for those that enjoy role play.</li><li>Training dummies</li></ul>Then a "Call to Club" option that refreshes quickly like the one in the Guild Halls.

I would love to see more fluff / Accesories. It is horrible to look like everyone else. Give us enough variety to make our toons look however we want. Keep it only fluff. Don't do anything that will give people good stuff just becasue they have cash. I stayed off the exchange server becasue I did nto want that kind of stuff. please keep it that way.Give more variety for the one shoulder pauldron. A guardian and zerker just don't look right with there arms bare. Give us a lightly armored look for the sword arm and a cool pauldron with light chain under it for the other. IS there any way to have bought items match other peices we already have. So when you get it you could have a menu that would let you select a color scheme based upon gear you have.

Have you SEEN the number of 60+ page threads of negative comments?I am totally against the introduction of this method of raising additional revenues, even for fluff items (Norrath is becoming enough of a joke with super/down sized characters running around in ever more gaudy outfits and fluff pets).However, what you NEED to offer is additional character slots, and maybe SC is the way to do this. Also, maybe some of the money you make could be directed at making EQ2Players work properly (prompt updates, webchat that works etc etc).

Brainstorm!!!! Marketplace is the answer we've all been looking for. Thank you SOE. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. And now my 10 brilliant brainstormed ideas.1. A one time NPC crafter that can make any craftable item when you give them all the required raws including the rare and fuels. Can never find a crafter willing to make me items because their time is more valuable and they can make more plat doing something else.2. A potion that lets you levitate like in EQ1.

Proposal from a Station Marketplace hater ahead, so watch out... The only addition, that would make this awful system tolerable for me, would be to merge it with the monthly subscription. If you counted on a raise of your revenue, fine, then raise the monthly subscription fee. Let's say (that's a purely theoretical value for further discussion) to $20 per month, equal 2000 SC. Meaning, if a player buys marketplace stuff for 2000 SC that month, his month is paid for. This would give players with a smaller budget (like children, students, many young adults from not so rich countries) access to everything sold on the marketplace without losing out, even though admittedly these items would be more scarce to them than to the richer folk. If a player did not buy stuff worth 2000 SC, subtract the rest from his account by the end of the month, perhaps giving him some random fluff for it, or a nifty title, like "the scrooge" (some, I imagine, would wear that as a badge of honor). If he does not own that much, his subscription runs out. This would also be a way to make subscription more flexible. Want to subscribe a year? Just buy 24000 SC. Want to subscribe seven months? Ok, now you can, just buy 14000 SC. Whether you spend that in a day or slowly over time, is at your discretion. Even weekly subscriptions would be possible this way, if you want to push it! At the other end, who wants more SC for ever more fluff, and has the money, can subscribe for 100 or 1000 years ahead for all I care. If you plan to further increase the monthly fee by 10%, just increase the mandantory buy from 2000 to 2200 SC and be done with it. The system of decreasing fees for longer subscriptions could be compensated by decreasing the price for larger chunks of SC, lets say for example not $100 but only $90 or so for 10000 SC. Make it possible to "subscribe" the SC for people who don't want the hassle to buy them manually, i.e. subscribe as usual. This would of course spell the end of the veteran reward potions, but heck, truth to be told, I barely even used mine, so I would be fine with it. The advantage this system would have over what we have now, is that the argument "the really cool stuff will in the future only be available for extra cash" would be void, because everyone would have access to everything, if he reasonably spends his SC.

Ooh Ooh, how about potions that give an AA point when drunk? Or a real "I Win" button that instantly levels my character to 80/80/200 with top teir raid gear? Armour on a par with the mythical!I don't have enough time to play this game as much as some people, surely I deserve just as much enjoyment as they do? (More in fact because I pay the same subscription fee and use the servers less, so I am paying more per hour and should have more enjoyment per hour). Lets face it we all know that end-game is the only game and that everything, even soloing, is far too hard to do without raid gear. I'm sick of playing second (or third, or twenty fourth) fiddle to other people that play more!

Adventure-, Tradeskill- and AA-Experience potions that work like your normal vitality bonus.Example: 10% adventure-XP bonus for half a adventure level.If potions last for 2 or 4 hours then I have to gain Experience for the full time to not waste real money. I can not stop to chat because I'm loosing money. (This is why I would not use such potions.)With these new potions I could use them and enjoy the game at my pace.Prices should be much lower than on the existing potions and I would maybe use the new ones for tradeskill and achievment.*edit* Not that I like XP-Potions... but they would be a bit more usefull this way.

As a self confessed smedbucks hater and someone who has cancelled their account as a result, I still feel obliged to try and at least help steer this away from some of the ideas proposed so far. So if I was not cancelling my account, here are some of the things I wouldn't have a problem with on the store- Seasonal outfits (no stats) basically think santa claus, elf costumes etc for frostfell. You could also do a variety of costumes based around other real holiday such as halloween costumes etc.- Placeable Jukebox for use in Inn rooms or guildhalls, I'm thinking that it comes pre-loaded with a selection of EQ2 tunes, maybe you could even have additional tunes available to download for a charge, of course they would have to fit into the gameworld, no spice girl songs allowed.- Enhanced spell effects potions. Some spells have really cool graphical effects, push the boat out a little further with the potion of spell effects. Enhances your spell effects giving the illusion you are the greatest spell slinger in all the land (doesn't effect stats, just changes to some awesome graphical effects for a set amount of time).- Delux fireworks bundle. Want to celebrate a special event online, then get the delux fireworks pack. Comes with a selection of rockets with different explosions, colours and sound effect. Placeable Catherine wheels and sparklers for multiple people.- Certificates. Want to remember getting your toon to level 80 at last, well now you can cheerish that moment forever with a personalised certificate announcing your official induction to the ranks of lvl80. Comes complete with a cheesy picture of you and signed by Smed himself.I'm hoping SOE keep it limited to rubbish like the above <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> oh and remove the XP, AA potions etc. People paying for a montly sub should not be paying more for stuff like that. Either go F2P with purchasable pots like that or remove them to keep things the same for everyone imho.

A few more interesting ideas...<ul><li>Functional PROPS that allow people to run creative player events.<ul><li>Script your OWN quest (write the dialogue, choose a tradeable reward from your inventory, set trigger parameters for updates, etc.).</li><li>Items that enable and utilize pre-scripted events. Like a player-run best-of-the-best tournament utilizing in-game win tracking and/or tournament brackets.</li></ul></li></ul><ul><li>A working card table (for regular cards OR LON.. for in-game tourneys), chess table, etc.</li><li>Training Dummies! For guild-halls likely, but allow you to either gain a limited percentage of XP (or up to your next level.. over time.. by beating on the dummy!)... or maybe increase your vitality a bit with each hit on the dummy.. or maybe each hit gives you an XP bonus like the bots from the last live event leading up to TSO.</li><li>I like the idea of a trophy case and trophies, but I think you'd need a separate system to track the trophies earned per-player and per-guild, then allow Station Cash to buy different KINDS of trophy visuals to represent them in-game</li><li>In-game books that you can write stories in and leave around for others to find.</li></ul>

I'd like to see items that help us manage our gear easier. It wouldn't affect play, sicne you can do all this already with macros or manually, just make it much easier. Here are two variations - i think they both have value and are not mutually exclusive.A way to drag/drop gear into a gear "build". So for instance I can have a build for different resists, dps, solo, tanking hard stuff, tanking easy stuff. Have the ability to clone each build. this can be done with macros, but maintenance is a pain. Have a box type that you could equip in a slot then load with gear for that slot. Thisis in case you dont have (or want) standard builds for gear, but want to keep your gear convienently located and organized. Double click on a slot and up pops a box with stuff for that slot so you can choose the peice to equip. This is a timesaver so I dont have to search my inventory, becasue no matter how carefully I try to maintain organization, the inventory gets mixed up and I have to take time to search for things.

Lots of different plushies and paintings. More statues and just some really cool looking items . I don't feel these things would have a bad impact on the game , nor will they interfere with my carpentry buisness.I would also like to see a bigger variety of fluff armor, lots of different colors,and nice looking. Not like the ugly stuff that is up for sale now. How about a variety of mounts. Keeping the speed equal to whats already in game.As far as the xp potions and such . I see no problem with keeping them for sale. They are not game breaking and have little impact on other players. Other than ones who like to gripe alot.

Custom paintings would bea nice addition, since they require extra resources on SOE's part for each one to be created, and placing a premium on them serves to limit their use, thus negating the need for artificial caps like 1/account. I would also add in the option to have custom portriats done by the LoN artists. Basically, you submit a screenshot of your character, and a few weeks later, you get back a custom paiting of your character. This would be tied to your account, and thus could always be claimed should one version be destroyed. Perhaps you could also purchase a real-world version of this, like a poster or higher quality print.Statues are another good idea, and could easily be created, since the models are already in the game - perhaps offer different versions, like glass, metal, stone and lifelike.Extra character slots would be nice, and these are effectively being sold already as part of the station pass, but being able to buy another slot or two would likely be very popular, and again, is tied to acual resources used by SOE.Overall, what I see as viable for the store are custom items who's very creation has some cost associated with it, and thus is not something that could be readily added to the game, but instead must be generated on a case by case basis, like a custom painting or extra character slot.

Take all of the carpenter recipes for furniture and house items, clean up the graphics better than players can craft, then sell those. Wait, that's already being done. Drop tradeskilling entirely and put everything on the store? An item that will stop in-game spam? I use many different windows and it spams ALL of them EVERY time. You know, like you can pay adware and shareware to leave you alone. What do you expect when you get something for free? Wait.. Really though, armor tints have been requested forever. If they're not practical due to your rendering engine, consider that for when it gets revised. Everything should be tintable. The old expansion preorder bonus items would seem to be a natural addition. Maybe not the current expansion, so they'll still have some value for the next expansion, but once the next expansion's released, then the current expansion's stuff could be added to the store.

I'm not a big supporter of station cash, but as it's obviously here to stay I say add OUT of game items purchasable via it. I read somewhere about posters of your characters, how about the little models/figurines as well (obviously would be much more expensive) but I can guarentee there are people who would want it. T-shirts & what not as well (all available elsewhere but it would be much more convient via station cash I suppose.)If you must add more ingame items, definately don't go the route of so many of the other games that have microtransactions in that items are added to the store that eventually become gear that content is designed around. That is very detrimental to the game. As far as stat gear goes, nothing more than 'starter gear' would really be a good thing. Something with stats less than mastercrafted and without any of the cool effects (+ to combat arts etc) one finds on treasured. Even that could quite possibly disrupt the server economies.It would also be rather nice for those of us who play EQ2 mostly for it's fluff to not be completely pooed on because we want nothing to do with the station cash system/haven't funds or inclination to spend real money on virtual items to have even a slim possiblity of obtaining some of the items in game. Say on rare occassions have guides reward one of the pets or other fluff items. This goes doubly for any fluff armors added. The populous has pleaded for years for more fluff gear, it would be a shame if it all went on the marketplace with no other means to obtain it.I did want to add in I do like the idea of custom art available in game as well. I personally wouldn't purchase it (as I have no intention of actually using station cash) but that would be something highly prized by folks in game and would be worth the money spent for them while being something that wouldn't be detrimental in any way to the game. Much like commisioning an artist for a reallife portrait. Very cool, very expensive but pretty awesome.

I've removed a number of the posts that are feedback about Station Cash itself to keep this thread functional. Please, feel very welcome to express your feedback about Station Cash in the appropriate thread. This one is for the folks who would like to share their ideas about what we could add in the future. I ask that you respect them and give them fair space to share their ideas. I'd really like to avoid thwapping people who can't post feedback in the appropriate thread.

I would like to see this sort of thing happen for each major type of holiday, where we can get our "fill" of it for a while and enjoy it and then it's gone so it doesn't become like splitpaw where folks just don't want to do it anymore because they are completely and utterly burned out on it.Man normally I could come up with alot of ideas but i'm drawing a blank atm, will try and post some more thoughts after i have thought about it abit more.

Once the appearance is created, there are no further costs associated with it. It is added to the client, everyone downloads it, and then it can be attached to any item in the game. It is the very creation of that appearance is what our monthly fees are supposed to be used for (among other things, obviously).An item such as a unique painting has costs associated with its production, but since it is unique, and the purchaser is the one wanting the item, it is only fair that they pay those production costs (and that SoE add a percentage to those costs for profit).It is obvious to me that someone high up in SoE decided it would be a cool idea to add a universal currency to all SoE developed games, and it is equally obvious to me that it is more intended to be used on future releases than it is to be used on current subscription games. However, that leaves a few games with this system, and having to do the best they can with it.It is the simple fact that EQ and EQ2 were not desinged with this in mind that make it hard to add in any in game items without alienatingportions of the population. Restricting this to items that would otherwise not be cost effective to produce (and providing a reason as to why they would not be cost effective), would greatly reduce the animosity many players have towards this.

If this has to exist, then more of those frivolous items. Illusions, pets that have no real effect, and temporary buff potions that are not already in existance and crafted.It's certainly well placed to handle the items and services that are more technical in nature. Like, server transfers. And custom items that the expense acquiring could be a reasonable fee for, like paintings of our character or our guild cloaks as a banner.I do not want to see more appearance armour sets, like for example the new <a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/images/en/features/SCdec08/ironforge_front.jpg" target="_blank">Ironforge Armour</a>, as that is an example of something that should be acquired in-game, through the Ironforge peoples.

As long as it's fluff items, or at most the current fluff items plus the EXP potions (and other similar potions), I do find Station Cash (with all due respect) to be a bit cheasy, but I don't mind it. I MIGHT even buy the Boarfiend from the initial set of items introduced, but not sure on that. Minute non-fluff items are introduced, one has crossed a line.What I DON'T want to see (and will even be more upset if this gives you guys an idea...) is something like "Oh, hey..we added a new instance...want to go into it..just spend 500 Station Cash to buy the key to the gate!" or some such. That would not only be killing the golden goose, but pounding the carcass with a wooden mallet then shoving it into a meat grinder. (By instance I mean just that, like how RE2, Unrest, etc were added into game between expansions. I do appricate it when such are added between expansions. But would find it horridly cheesy to have to pay Smedly Bucks..pardon me Station Cash to go into them. That might be enough to make me actually cancel. Not saying I would, but I'd have to think about it). To be clear, I don't mean a full adventure pack like Splitpaw or Fallen Dynasty..although that I think should still be bought via the actual Station Store and not Station Cash also.Or the short form..keep Station Cash fluff and maybe some EXP potions, and all is more or less well. Go beyond that, the Golden Goose is cooked. My suggestion for items, if one may call it that.As an addendum: Also wondering if appearance armor, even with no stats is maybe not a good idea, I saw at least one other post suggesting that. Really, IMO ALL the Station Cash items should be aquired in game..but if Station Cash must exist, then maybe let's keep appearance armor something that one needs to get via faction. Saw a post suggesting that the Ironforge appearance plate should be aquired via the Ironforge exchange, not via Station Cash, and I think I agree.

I want a specific character name on my server, but it is taken by a 20th level character that hasn’t been played in almost 3 years. I would happily pay to rename his character (or even buy him a server transfer), and then pay to rename my character to the now-available name.

I would love to see them my way, with a few good friends having a blast together without the Viod Shard's just so we could again experience those zones. Hey, sell us a "Adventure Pack" that has the instances that are in TSO with scaled down rewards so we can visit the nostalgic content that we so loved in Everquest Live with the same old friends that we so often "casually" group with.I for one would buy it on the spot, no questions asked. I just want the good times, don't really need the fabled to be honest.

12-17-2008, 03:24 AM

I'm REAL hesitant to share my idea here becaue this new SC makes me nervous on so many lvls but...1) Pet Illusion Potion - Okay... I have a Necro... but having that ugly drach follow her around is annoying in group; it makes me wanna look for a can of Raid. And my Pally would love to have a Squire by his side to aide him in battle, clean up horse droppings... ya know ***** work... but... after that 'fix' to the crusader fun spell... summoning said Squire just gives me a creepy looking old dude that looks like he has candy for Gnomes... ya know... in his carrige. /shudder. So... my though is a unlimited use potion that work ONE pet, that allows you to change them into the race/gender of your choice. I mean... why would a Dark Elf Shadowknight from Neriak, for example... have a human squire?! So... yea....2) Paintings/Sculptures of Dieties, Famous Norrathians and Cities - Ok... I'd much rather this be something IN-GAME to quest for but.. eh... having a painting or sculpture of various famous Norrathians and Dieties WOULD be nice. A sculpture of Ykesa would do nice in my Troll's 'baker; maybe a painting of Ak'Anon for my Gnome; and a painting of Neriak (maybe the Maiden's Fancy?) and a Sculpture of Queen Christanos for my Dark Elf would be awesome.3) Racial/Class Armour - Another thing I'd RATHER SEE IN-GAME... but... seeing some NON-STAT race/class armour would be neat. Racial armour befitting to each race. Scary stuff for Trolls, elborate stuff for High Elves.... ya know? And Class armour... well... something.. a set, like you quest for... but... not anything like it. That is... like... for example SK's could have black armour w/ class hat... that has tints of red from blood splatter... or... yea... soemthing like that...I could see quests for this... but... yea... SoE wants to put in Armour so..4) House NPCS - Okay... I might actually (though doubtfully) would cave in and buy house NPCs. Like the ones for the guild hall... BUT FLUFF. They wouldn't do anything but stand there and look pretty. I mean... when my Troll is out beating people down with his Lute... he could use someone at the bakery to make sure everthing is going well. And I need vict---er, guests... for my dungeon. Basically... like I said... they'd be like the guards in the guild hall we could customize... but be non-tagged... no annoying <guard> under thier name.

Hi, here's another Idea: How about making another great Adventure Pack like Fallen Dynasty and sell it via Stationcash ? The only difference between this and FD would be that one was bought directly with real money and the other one with money which was converted to SC. Could be a Win-Win Situation: The Gamers win, because they get new content availabe for money as in the past with the Adventure Packs (i personally loved splitpaw and FD); The Producers win because they can argue Stationcash is a success, get more ressources and can use those to get more content out. But this is a small Line to walk and you should be aware that if it's overdone, it will backfire. I would say, one Adventure Pack per year (preferably in the Summer between the XPacs) could be fine, but an Instance every month for SC (where it should be enough to use the money from our subsriptions) is NOT ! Regards, theriatis.

Like Shadowedwolf and others sure add appearance armour and fluff pets and house items, but to show players that you not just after the money have a way for these to be aquired in game, station cash is the option for those with no time or not wanting to put the effort in to get them.Suggestion would also be items that give you a particle effect of some sort, you know the glowing eyes, or lightning shooting out of our fingers.What about new hairstyles, tatoos, jewelry to unlock on your character so that when you go to the hairdresser you have an extra options that are not normally available, these could be by race and set to the account so when you create a character of that race you have the option to use the new hair also.

I personally like the idea of being able to change a character name. For anyone thats ever been at a loss when coming up with a name for a new toon then later finding they really the toon but really dislike the name this would be great. and as for those people with bad reps chances are even if they change their name the rep will come back or they'll get a chance to start over and maybe not make the same mistakes so its really not a big deal.Also I would like to have more options to customize mounts the in game mounts are fine and all but I personally would love to be able to pick the armor on my war barded calvary horse maybe I want full armor maybe I dont maybe I want gold armor instead of silver.Last but not least perhaps not something for SC but certainly something I would like to see, perhaps instead of just a house you could give us estates with lawns, gardens, stables, whatever. Show our mounts in the stable when we enter and please give us an option to have grass instead of dirt in our yards c'mon seriously you let us change our walls and floors why not the outside area of the house too? and also evil houses dont have windows and I personally really like them so why not let the carpenters make windows we can place wherever in our house. obviously we cant see out of them but thats not the point.

First I'd like to know what we pay for with a subscription for now and what we pay for with SC. Previously we payed just a subcription for 'fluff' appearance armour etc. Now we are expected to pay extra for items that previously appeared in quests, rewards, from merchants.In addition now you ask for ideas. Will you pay us for our ideas now if they appear on SC. Intellectual property is a valuable commodity. So remember if you give SoE an idea, they'll now be making money from your ideas and charging others for it.

This is bordering on the "actually useful", but I'd like to see some sort of mount available. There are so many ways in game now to increase your speed (or shorten travel times) I don't think a couple of different types of mounts would break anything.

All characters would start at level 80, basic legendary + gear would be purchasable on SC. Let those who want to play end-game and are more interested in showing their playing ability (rather than their ability to collect the best gear over several months-years of playing) to compete side by side. Scale up the older zones to provide additional opportunities for carnage and you'll have a game that many modern short-term players would instantly buy in to, it doesn't matter that they are short-term as they will spend good money gearing up at the SC.OK, this turned into more of a rant than I intended... my apologies *blush*

Assuming the point of SC is as stated... to give those players with less available play time the ability to "even the playing field" (don't get my started on "spread the wealth")... I sincerely think that the main in-game items that should be added are items already available in game... I would start by adding guide and special event items that newer players may want to acquire...For instance, the griffon towers... which are so limited and no-trade. Let those who missed this event purchase those. This will cut down on overhead, save SOE some money... and make the players happy who missed these events... I don't need to have a griffon tower in my house just to be able to say, "hey, look at me!"... how about old Nights of the Dead and Frostfell quest rewards and crafted items?Many of the posts I have read seem to think that illusions are a waste... however, I know of several people who spent alot of real money to get those illusions.... for new development, I suggest new illusions... either like the ice skeleton thing or the glowing eyes... if SOE doesn't want to lose out on the money, that's where it's at.... many of those LoN items...I have to agree with other posters that I do not want to see items that are currently in-game for crafting added to the Marketplace (ie the SoW totem).... some of the players do actually make our in-game living by selling such crafted items, and I see the potential long-term for these types of items to hurt the server economy overall...Like many other posts, I also agree that if you want to add new appearance items, pets, etc to SC, please also add corresponding quests... so that those of us who don't want to pay the additional cost can still acquire these items... this would also be a win-win for SOE as those of us who quested for these items would play over a longer period of time to get said items...I'm busy enough with shards and crafting... if I want the new Ironforge Armor appearance set... that's going to take me a while to squeeze in... so all other things equal... that's three more months of dedicated subs... from me... or whoever else doesn't want to pay cash...Also, I want to second the ability to "respec" your adventuring class... I have many tradeskillers that don't do anything other than craft merely because I jumped into tradeskilling and picked adventuring classes I new nothing about... I was new to online games and didn't understand my preferred playstyle... I would love to get a new use out of those toons...And while watching the flames, if you really want this thing to succeed... seriously... make a Beastlord class.... and sell the "unlocking" rights to it for $500 (500,000 SC, I believe)... seriously, there are people who would pay for it... I think we all need to realize the classes are never going to be considered "balanced" and at this point in the game of trying to even the playing field, does it really matter anymore?EDIT:Oh... and please, please give us RL items... character figurine (I'd pay $100 for a well done character model)... or even in game dragon pets...

Starter sets of raid gear all nicely packaged in a bundle.Starter sets of mastercrafted/legendary gear all nicely packaged in a bundle.Potion of Automatic Experience Gain--The potions could give you a set amount of experience--like 100,000 points of experience..so a level 1 could drink one and ding level 10 (hypothetically), while a level 70 would have to drink two of the same to get to level 71.Potion of Maximum Skill Gain--With the faster levelling we now have, it is sometimes difficult to raise focus, ordination, slashing, alchohol tolerance, etc. to maximum. One of these potions would automatically raise your skill in a chosen category to the maximum for your current level.The Rosetta Stone -- Automatically teaches your character every known racial language and NPC racial language without having to complete language quests or purchasing of the language primersPotion of the Midas Touch--It would be nice to have a potion that magically converts any coin looted from a mob or quest into the next highest level of coinage for a specified duration...so if a quest normally grants 10 gold reward, you would get a 10 plat reward!!!Just a few really neat ideas I had! And believe it or not, I might actually be tempted to pay for some of this stuff. I shocked even myself coming up with these.

Here are a few ideas:Offer weekly (or monthly) subscriptions to an in-game newspaper delivered via mailbox. Include lore articles and information on world events, GM events and quests. Let guilds or individuals "buy" pre-formatted advertising in the newspaper for things such as congrat notices, guild meetings, invitations to large guild events, guild recruiting, birthday wishes, in-game wedding announcements.Offer a lotto that actually pays on a regular basis. Have weekly winners and print the lotto numbers in the newspaper (see above).Offer potions that would give guilds OR individuals an amenity for a limited amount of time (such as 2 hrs.). Keep the amenities basic and only offer what is usually found in city zones (banker, broker, mendor, tradeskill fuels merchant).Thanks,

Sorry.. meant to post this here.. i think there are 2 threads goin onA better name filter for character naming. The current one is cutting off name choices before finishing typing and stating words are offensive when they are clearly not (Example - Try typing the word Bitter)A way to reclaim names of characters that belong to people that have inactive accounts for X amount of timeand/orCount a last name as part of your character name for a more unique naming option.Remove Potions from SC and, make sure you keep SC money from benefiting the strength of characters in Norrath. These items make even more of a mockery of the ease of leveling a character compared to the trials the original player base had gone throughRemove the the effects from LON loot that benefit the strength of characters in NorrathorFree transfers to a non RMT server (non exchange non SC non LON) (great idea jaguarjp) Keep the ability to transfer off the servers should you change your mind and want to buy SC/LON itemsUse the current Station Cashflow for the PROPER advertising of this game to attract new players.The ability for guilds to align and share resources including guild hall resources. Restrict the sharing of resources based on guild ranks.The only way I can see that SOE sees Station cash as being a current "success" despite the huge community backlash is because the lot of you are buying 5-10 bux to "see how it is" If you really didn't want SOE to have SC be a success.. you shouldn't have bought anything. You've given them the green light to add more crap to buy. How about everyone practice what they preach now and let them see how we truely feel about SC.SOE.. I'm sure you know or at least i HOPE you know the moment you offer ANY item that will give a character an edge in battle.. you will loose most of your player base.. You've already done this with LON however it was quite subtle.There's now more MMOs out there today than there was when you released LON that are attracting the vets of this game. I'd pay attention to the community this time.. if I were you.

Expand on the free rewards given to veterans and included with expansions, and make them all available via Station Cash. Then, give enough Station Cash as a vet reward or included with the expansion purchase to buy one or two of the rewards from the Station Store. This way, players can pick up the rewards they want for free, but buy more if the desire.These rewards would be at the account level, so you'd buy it then claim it on each character.

Veteran Display Case for people who just can't wait until they gain enough account time.Metal Chest (One that reduces house coin by 50%).Various size harvestable only bags.Few more of the veteran rewards items would be nice.I have 3 accounts, one of which has been active since launch. I'd love some of the veteran items a bit sooner on my accounts that are just a year or two away from normally gaining them.

something that I wouldn't mind seeing is a contest held monthly, bymonthly, quarterly where players design quests, submit them to sony for judging and the winner gets his quest published in the game (available on the marketplace), he/she gets a free copy of the winning quest, and possibly some type of trophy to place n their house. the rewards for quest could be anything in line with the difficulty of the quest. Me personally I would rather pay for additional content than to just buy an item, and think it would be interesting to see some of the ideas my fellow players can come up with. It could offer people designing the quests a chance to bring items into the game they are spacificly looking for. sony can still get the extra money they are looking for, and the players have an option to pick up a little extra content, and maybe some new items.

Make all veteran rewards from 6 years on simply smedbucks, and allow players to decide what to do with them.This would have a similar impact to the LoN loot cards, whereas players would be able to get stuff from the store without needing to pay extra for it, they just won't be able to get a lot (could also use this as a reward for loyal customers, as a counter to the living legacy promotion).

Ok, things I would like to see is now with the armor being offered is give us a variety colors as a option before we buy for colors now are blah!Fluff Wearables: Bathing Suits, Nightgowns, Underclothes (bras & panties/boxers), Coats (Big Fluffy Furry ones), and new hair styles.Fluff Pets for house: Babies and or toddlers (Give option of skin color and races. As for elfs you would only have to pretty much only make one design if skin color is availble.) Since we can't leave are babies unattended we might need a Nanny, so possibly give us a Nanny with a race options as choice? This nanny can have a few emotes that are funny as heck too.Items for houses: Birds with cages, more variety of dogs / puppys & cats/ kittens (with scaling of dogs & cats, kittens are still big with you scaling them to the smallest)Picutures: Make it where for a small amount for each to be able to buy an EQII and EQ one picutures that are availble.I seen someone ask for items for the house that should be added as recipe, not something we should have to buy with cash so I hope that doesn't happen. I would weather see recipes for towels, blackets, canned goods, milk jugs, spices, pans, pots, and any kind of kitchen items obtainble through questing or just plain adding these into recipes books we have now please.

Can never find a crafter willing to make me items because their time is more valuable and they can make more plat doing something else.2. A potion that lets you levitate like in EQ1.

A potion that lets you change your first name. Have a bad rep well here's your answer.Nevar!!!!!!!6. A potion that lets you make your own title. Can have fun with this one.Complete wins. Do this (allow up to 3 or 4 spaces).7. Henchmen, temporary NPC(S) of any playable class(s) that you can multibox with. What happened to grouping in this game anyways? NEVAR!!!8. Items you can play music with like in Lotro. It's free there but we'll pay for it here.There are LoN items that do this.

Wow, I'm so glad some folks know how to stick to topic..Here are two more ideas:Offer a specialized bulletin board that allows selling AND buying from our rooms.Offer a potion that transports you to a seller's room immediately. You would bring up the broker screen, choose your item and then click the seller's name to zone into their room.

Here’s something I would buy that would be similar to an adventure pack –Make a long quest that would guide a character from level 1 to level 80. You could use all existing content and even incorporate existing quests into it (the main quest/storyline would lead you to a zone, and then you would have to do existing quests in that zone). The quest rewards wouldn’t have to be that special (keep your usual risk vs reward), but the storyline of the quest would have to be good.You could make both solo and heroic versions, and maybe even different quests that fit specific classes. For example, you could make a long solo quest for a paladin, and upon completing it, we would be rewarded a cool title that would match the storyline and access to a fluff zone (like a part of the Qeynos castle).

My ideas for new items thus far:<ol><li>Unique Recipes - Allow tradeskillers to purchase one of a kind recipes which allow them to make items which are tradeable. This would be in place of allowing people to purchase the items directly from the Marketplace; but instead would allow the tradeskiller to create the items and make them available to everyone on the broker or directly.</li><li>Swag - I realize some stuff is available through other outlets. But, there are people who do everything in game. Opening the Marketplace to order tee-shirts, mugs, posters etc. would be very convenient.</li><li>Title Badges - Appealing to those who aren't in a guild and would still like a fancy city title. The badges are transparent when worn, but the Title becomes an option in the drop down menu of the persona.</li><li>Additional House Item Slots - Could be a nick-nack that when placed in the home adds an additional 100, 500, etc. item slots in a home for those running out of space.</li><li>Additional Character Slots - Not an issue for me personally since I have a Station Pass. But, for those who don't want to pay an additional $15/month for a second account or upgrade to a Station Pass. One slot = $10 SC purchase.</li></ol><div>That's all I got for now. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></div>

I don't know if these have been covered, but after reading 4 pages that were 20% constructive suggestions, and 80% trolling, I decided to skip to the end.1) A banner, purchasable only from the SC, which allows you to display your guild heraldry.2) Armor, with no stats, purchasable only from the SC, which allows you to display your guild heraldry.3) Furniture, with no status reduction, purchasable only from the SC, which allows you to display your guild heraldry.4) SC purchasable content, such as cut-scenes when you go from, for example, Artisan to Craftsman, and Craftsman to Carpenter. This could also be purchased to display events (such as when you purchase the Lord/Lady title from the status merchant - it could show members of the Overlord's/Queen's inner circle conferring the honor). That is all I have for now.

Looking over this thread, I see a lot of people asking for things that should be free content. Things like banners displaying guild heraldry, musical instriments, character appearance options (character, not equipment), those types of things.There seem to be a lot of things that would technically be very hard/impossible, such as forcing every player to see you as the model type you want them too (this would mean either every player would need to have every model type loaded loaded up at all times, creating masses of client side lag), or an increase in particle effects 9also a cause of both client and serverside lag).In my opinion, things like an expanded bank, or house item limit are a great thing to put on SC, as the addition of them will require an increase in database size from SoE (small as it may be), the cost of which is offset by the purchase of the item.The idea of adding in adventure packs could work as well, provided the free content updates continued. In order for it to be worth spending money on, it would need to surpass Fallen Dynasty in terms of content and art (art is where the majority of time is spent... look at Bloodlines and splitpaw, 99% of it is in caves to cut back on this). If it is as good as Fallen Dynasty, people will simply complain that it is content for sale, instead of free content which is what we have now. if it surpasses Fallen Dynasty, and is rolled out as an adventure pack avalible on SC, then it has the potential to work.

What I personally would consider buying if offered in Station Cash:1. Character Slots2. Bank Slot Expansion3. House Item Count/Vault Expansions (that would stack with the current player-crafted expanders)Personally I'm not interested in purchasing potions, pets or appearance armors.Lastly, I know this is wishful thinking....but Storage Chests for houses that trustees could access. In my case I'd love a place to put items into so my trustees could come to my home, peruse what I have, and take freely from if they wanted it. IE, if my provisoner had a 'fridge' in her house, my best game buds could come over and help themselves to the grub whenever they wanted.

Some suggestions for SC, including some that may be seen as more than fluff...* Saddle bags to increase the slots and amount of stuff you can carry. Need a mount to place on.* Ability to buy gear and customize your mount. Could be pure fluff but can be that you can enhance your mount like you can do to yourself with gear upgrades... this would ofc give a bonus but only when outdoors and mounted.* Sherpa, my Inquisitor would love to get some use of his Adept non-combat pet, so make him a sherpa and let him carry stuff as a pack mule. Make it possible to pethide for raids and laggy zones though.* Henchman, similar to a sherpa but in addition to be able to carry stuff make him a pet capable of limited combat. Have to upgrade his gear/spells/combat arts like a normal player but cannot give him other than crafted gear/spells/CA. Limit the number you can have so that you can only be 6 players and henchmens in a group (24 in a raid) and limit the classes to a generic fighter/scout/mage/healer. Would NOT have the full capabilities as a normal player char!* Ability to buy more fluff spells, perhaps share the class fluff spells so that if I want a Berserker fluff spell I can have it as a Inquisitor and vice versa.* Make all LoN items buyable from SC, you already have the stuff made so no extra work but ppl would buy it. Drawback is that the player trade market for LoN Boosters and Loot cards would crash, leaving only those that really play the game...

Ideas (prices are obviously just my idea of what an item would be worth):As Spyderbyte suggested, unique crafting recipes. These should have a limited number of charges, and make items that are only slightly better, but better, than the normal recipes. Examples:<ul><li>Extra imbue recipes for armor for other locations than body and legs (e.g., speed boost on boots).</li><li>Extra imbue recipes for weapons, for an extra proc on a weapon (e.g., mana drain or stun).</li><li>Food recipes that last longer or give higher bonuses.</li><li>Potions/poisons that heal more or give more damage.</li><li>Totems with higher bonuses or duration.</li></ul>The items can be traded and brokered. Make one for yourself and sell another. Price depends on recipy level and demand. This will create more demand for crafted goods too.A station cash voucher, tradeable in-game, which can be redeemed for station cash at any time. This is a simple way to trade station cash and items between players that use the existing safe consignment system. Comes in denominations 100, 500 and 1000 SC. This is simply making it safer for players to do what they will do anyway: trade station cash for in-game items or currency. Stacks up to 50 in a stack.Manual of instruction: Instead of mentoring a pupil, you write a book about it. Item with, say, ten charges that allow you to mentor to any lower level without needing another player to mentor to. Price ~500 SC. This is simply reducing waiting time for people who would otherwise find another player to mentor to.Food and drink: If you find yourself in the middle of a dungeon and have forgotten to restock on food, buy food similar to same level crafted food, but with no extra bonuses and only short duration. Price ~50 SC for one a sandwich and a bottle of water, notrade, e.g., 30 minutes duration. This simply saves waiting time for someone who forgot to stock up on food or drink, and a group won't have to wait for a single forgetfull person. Mail Order Genie: Bottle with five charges that calls a genie to deliver mail for you. Allows you to send up to five mail messages per charge or even fetch mail from your mailbox for you (i.e., access to your mailbox from anywhere). Merely saves time for people who aren't near a mailbox. Or perhaps an imp instead of a genie.Norrath Daily - Trading Section: A paper listing current prices on the broker (i.e., access to a broker board from anywhere). Some number of charges (e.g., 20 charges for 200 SC). Simply saves time for someone who isn't near a broker, but who needs to know the value of an item.Traveller's Luck: Inventory item that reduces the reuse timer of travel spells and abilities (Call of Your City, all sorts of Evac, conjuror summoning, templar what's-it's-name). Different grades of 15%, 25% or 33% reduction. Generic Wormhole Generator: Teleport you and your group to any overland zone in the game. Five charges at 500 SC.Personal Recognition: The city recognizes your dedication and treats your person as if it was the member of an esteemed guild. Grants the ability to buy city-merchant items as if you were in a guild of the corresponding level. Exists for levels 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 (but not 80, you need a real guild for that). Expensive at higher levels.Best of luck/RS

Happy Friday folks.I have removed some (but not all) posts that weren't appropraite for this thread. Not all of them were removed because they were bad and needed moderation -- some were merely far from topic, making the feedback loop hard to track.On the subject of feedback, here is a list I have been compiling of things you have suggested. This is not a commitment list of what SOE will deliver with Station Cash, and it's not even every single idea presented in this thread. It's a summary of what you have said though, and I'd like to share it to help focus more feedback and ideas back to the intended topic.Edited for a typo. Doh!

very nice summary grim <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" />one question though, which of those will likely and unlikely be added first or last, of those that will be added? some of them (transparent chest/leg pieces) would be extremly easy to add, and can technically be added the following day, but others (such as entirely new armors, loin cloths, mini-skirts, etc) seems like they'd take a while to make/add new models.so which of the ones that will make it can we expect to see sooner, and which will come later?edited due to horrible grammar/spellingEDIT 2: as for the transparent armor, i see how they'd work for females, as females have a bikini top and bottom on their skin texture itself. i cannot say i know if it'd work for males or not, as unequipping all that they have still has them wearing pants, and all of the female clothing that shows legs entirely covers male legs for some reason

I'm making the compilation list of player suggestions. That's all. It is being handed off inside the company, but I have no information as to when this list will be specifically considered by the folks who implement things.Plus, I am hopeful that more people will chime in with their suggestions. As Adeyia noted, only a few days have passed. While Adeyia has taken the point a bit beyond what's really happening, there hasn't been much time to consider these suggestions and filter things out that the game teams would like to avoid. Right now, it's just a list and not even a closed one.

k, thank you for the update <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" />i see you fixed the spelling of Station too, but not the grammar mistake. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" />still, the main thing i'm wanting (and i admit it, unlike many others that want it), is transparent leg/chest armor, loin cloths, mini-skirts, etc. The thing is, if loin cloth/mini skirts get added, i DO NOT want to see that annoying frilly panty thing like on the Female Format Ensembles (i mena come on, all females have a underwear textured onto them. why are they wearing 2 pairs of underwear?). honestly, I cannot stand frilly panties, and imo, they do not belong in a mmo based on a medieval time frame. makes no sense at alland believe me, if mini-skirts/loin cloths/transparent armor get added, and the original player skin texture does not get changed on ANY race, human, dwarf, animal, and elf alike (not needed nor wanted by ANYONE, so do NOT do it), i'll be buying them for all the female characters i made and intend to make. i know a few people both rl and internet that will do that too. i also know a few that'd do the same for male armor of that sort (mostly females, obviously)

While I'm against SC, I'm quite relieved to see that the list do not contain really useful stuuf (granted the armor & clothing part is appearance only).I hope it will stay that way.

One missing item (refined a bit from before) Look to how EQ implemented their Defiant gear during the Living Legacy promo, and how it got added to SC. Similar sets of armor would do well in EQ2 (particularly b/c the set scales to the level of the player picking up the item). <a href="http://lucy.allakhazam.com/itemlist.html?searchtext=defiant" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://lucy.allakhazam.com/itemlist...rchtext=defiant</a>

They already exist in the other title. I believe the focus was to allow people a means of obtaining gear to move more quickly through the levels, catching up with the higher end population. It actually worked out really well in EQ1, a pretty nice boost that basically got carried into StationCash because it already existed from a previous promotion.

12-19-2008, 08:25 PM

Dont forget that in eq1 leveling is MUCH slower, and gear is MUCH harder to obtain.

Making recipes available, even limited use ones, doesn't make much sense finacially, for SOE. $10.00 for a armorset vs $10.00 for a recipe that makes (5) armorsets .... *raises an eyebrow* .. they'd take the single purchase armor over the multiple. But, still, I'd like to go on record of saying .. ** IF ** recipes show up in the Marketplace, they'd better be of Artisan Class and not required for any in-game use/etc. Fluff is fine, but, if it becomes required .. then it becomes a big "NO-NO" for me.

I would like to see 'limited time to buy' armor sets that would never be sold again. There has to be something in this game that not just anybody can get just because they play and spend SC. By design, making appearance slots available gives players a chance to individualize their toons (feature as promoted when released). Allowing just anybody to auto-accessorize is a contradiction of the feature. Why would I buy something that anybody else could just as easily? Make it interesting and add limited time items. How about something like personal theme music, that was pretty cool from lon, but again, make it avail for a limited time and never again.One of my characters could use the option to change sex, I'd buy that. omg SC = SC! That would rockThanks

Race respecClass respecOh, and what the hey, gender respecServer-related things like respecs I could completely get behind paying for (things like armor art I would pay for, but I'd feel all wrong while doing it). Would save me from having to save all those alts that I keep around because they got some special-event quest item and maybe-I'd-prefer-that-class-or-race-down-the-line.

Imo, all items used within the game should only be obtainable by playing the game. We pay for the game and expansions plus a monthly fee, some of us do this for multiple accounts. All old and new items made to be used in the game should be covered by what we are paying.If station cash is to be available at all, it should only be for real world items, not virtual items. I would like to see EQ2 related items like: t-shirts tank tops sweatshirts hatscoffee mugstravel mugskey chainsbumper stickersreal plushies of EQ2 mobs/npc/mountspostersect

Since I'd long ago heard (and mentioned in the station cash reaction thread, pg 53) that RMT was being debated in order to "legalize" plat selling to beat the plat farmers, just go for it already. Do your research, make plat cheaper than the platsellers, and embrace the end point instead of beating around the bush. People will pay for plat to buy ingame items on the broker, on the merchants, housing/rent, buying crafters to make epic parts, etc. They do it already, hence why the platsellers are still in business. If you want to make even more of a profit, loosen up on your no-trade items (or simply remove no trade all together) so they go up on the broker, and those that want to shortcut through paying over playing have the option to do so. Put your station cash items into the game itself for crafters or on merchants, and give the playerbase the choice of grinding for plat ingame or paying for plat via station cash. You can keep your XP/AA %-increase pots on SC for those who want to hurry up and get to max.Otherwise, I second the race/gender respecs, the mount illusions, name changes, titles, pets, portraits, old event/release prizes, and fluff gear recipes (unlimited usage). I would also suggest Call of the Hero totems (if you aren't going to put them in game for crafters), full vitality restoration pots for Adv/TS, station cash in loot drops like LoN cards, and guild level-only merchant items being available for anyone.

There are some really cool ideas that have been thrown out in this discussion... <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" />Here is what I would REALLY PAY FOR through SC...1- Quest Coupon: Buy this coupon to redeem it for the quest of your choice. Don't want to spend a day for that illusive quest starter? You can get it now!2- Appearance Items: Anything that would allow for very cool effects to make our toon look like we want it to look...3- Mentoring Potion: Use this potion to mentor down to the level that you need with no time limit. This would be nice when you can't find anyone to the level that you need...4- Henchman: Only have small time blocks to play but need help right now, buy this helper to group with and get that last step done. Time limited helper of course.5- Class Reset: You no longer want to play your class, do not want to make an alt or do not want to betray? Buy this and change your class while keeping everything...Here are some things that would be cool to have access to...6- Racial Reset: Dislike your race? Buy this and change it now without any pain...7- Gender Reset: Want to go for the opposite sex, then you can without surgery...8- Real Plushies: This would be very very cool. Get your own Nagafen plushie or your own Gazer Eye... lolEdited for spelling... hehe

Items with a Lore, No Trade and No Repair status. This opens up the ability to add some semi decent equipment that will overtime break and become useless.It does not effect raiding as no raid will want you if your items are going to break and be unrepairable during a raid.It gives those who do not raid the ability to get semi decent equipment to tackle tougher instances and begin lower level raiding to get some "real" equipment.Also have it so that if your using a No Repair item that you have a flag of NRP in the looking for group screen so that people can see you have items not suitable for raiding.Or even grey out the items if the character enters a raid zone making them non functional.Ultimate aim is it helps the casual player, does not effect raiders and gives SoE something decent to put on the marketplace rather than items that most people do not want. Its also more beneficial to SoE because people may actually buy the same item again and again (once broken of course as its Lore).It will also add the extra new element of death becoming more of a burden. At level 80 most people don't care if they die because the exp loss is negated as you dont need exp. With items that will vanish if you die to often then the story changes.(Note: It would require that these items take damage if worn or just in your inventory. VG had a similar situation where people would swap items seconds before death to protect them from damage).

These are all good ideas. I don't see the connection to Station Cash for most of them, but they're all things I'd be happy to see one way or another.I'll just add my rantonga would like a house item--a comb. Ratonga are supposed to run an ivory comb through their tail.In general I'd like to see more little common items that people could use to make a house look lived in. Things like combs, brushes, items of clothing to hang in the closet, maybe even heaps of clothes for those toons not so good at house keeping.In the same vein, I'd like to see more common food items. Most of the food comes from holidays, but it would be nice to see more day to day cooking items, so the kitchen doesn't always look like it's set up for Frostfell. The muffin tins and bread pan are a good step. Maybe also partially consumed items, like a pie that has a few slices already missing.

12-21-2008, 05:27 PM

Another group of things I would like to see:o House Items that are no longer available such as the griffon tower, dragon eggs, etc. As soon as the item is no longer available via questing, it could be made available on SC Store.o The "tax-free" housing item from LoN that allows you to live in the mage tower in Qeynos. As much as I hate to admit it, I have bought a lot of the booster packs in hopes of getting this item, but no luck. Charge as much as you want, but make it available for those that don't have Loot-card Luck.o Little buttons that say, "<insert name here> is teh <insert gender reference (man/woman)>!" that you can hand out to your friends, or, in my case, to complete strangers.

I really dislike the idea of paying rl cash for in-game items but, if you are going to do it anyway, these are things I would like to see:Binding Stone: This stone would allow you to bind anywhere outside of a city. Would be great for raid parties that can't finish a raid or dungeon in one night. Stone would have unlimited uses and would not cost our first-born child. To prevent mis-use of this stone in PvP it should have a mandatory cooling-off period where nothing could attack the player and vice versa. The player could move but not fight during this time.Plushies: I think most of us who have houses love plushies and there just aren't enough of them out there or some of them are too hard for a player to get playing solo. Ones that actually do something, such as the Frostfell fighting dragon would be extra nice. Again, please think of the tanking economy and keep the cost low.Repair Kit/Mender: A kit that would allow you to repair all your armor 10 times. Better still, a portable mender who will fix the armor of anyone who uses him within 10 minute. The npc would be permanent and would automatically return to the owner's backpack after 10 minutes. We had similar npcs in DAoC and they were great favorites with players. You could have both the repair kit and mender available. Obviously the mender would cost more money.Size Reduction Potion: An unlimited use potion that would reduce a toon's size until reset. I made my Sarnak as small as possible but he still gets caught in doorways and blocks the view of other members of the group when in dungeons. It would be nice to have a potion we could use to shrink our toon when necessary. The potion could work two ways, either offer a menu of size reductions or let you use the potion repeatedly till you get the size you want.A Carnivorous Plant: Here is an item SoE really dropped the ball with when they limited the reward to only one character per account. SoE should want us to buy houses with all our characters but if the plant is only in one house then that is the house that tends to be used the most and other seem unnecessary. Those of us on the Test server really got screwed because most of us came over from live servers and had to leave our plants behind.Commission-Free Retail Box: This could also be a reduced-commission retail box or you could buy either box. Since it is costing real money it should offer more slots than those acquired in-game. It would be nice if the placed box had really outstanding graphics to set it apart from normal sales boxes.I think all six of these items would have a huge market among players of all servers. I suspect that even players, like me, who shudder at the thought of paying cash for in-game items would be tempted to buy one or more of these items.The main thing is to remember cash is in short supply right now. I know SoE is looking for new sources of income and that is ok as long as you give players really good value for their precious cash.

Continue with the little follow pets and the armor. I wouldn't recommend making new models for clothing/armor that are only purchasable with Station Cash, though, unless certain colors were available only via Station Cash.Also maybe ridiculous things like "a seagull perched on the head" type of things would be cool.And maybe tokens for gender/racial change or something. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" />Basically saying, "please oh please oh please do not turn into Gaia Online"

I really don't care what is placed in the station store as long as it is not game breaking.With that said, I feel that having Henchmen,repair kits/menders, are game breaking and should not be in the store. Please do not put in any type of racial, gender,name or class respect items. In my opinion if you don't like any of them, roll a new character.Also no titles please. that is something that should be earned either by time played or through quests.I also hope I don't see any type of salesman crates that offer bonus's over what is already in game.Now I have no problem seeing mounts, house items, and pets in the store. Even if I will not use it. (Personal preference. subject to change). I was against it. but my friends talked me into staying, and have rethought about my views.However if we had real life item's to get such as t-shirts, coffee mugs, Styled portraits of our characters, etc. that I would be will to spend some hard earned cash on.Well that is my thoughts on it.Have a nice day

As a crafter I do NOT wish to see SC-only recipes (even if it is just the same stuff but different color). Crafting is competitive enough without adding a RL-cash ante to it. If recipes must be added please keep it similar to the current LoN-style ones (two charges, not a lot of demand for it, complete fluff); I'd prefer that any new recipes introduced to the game be kept to the content that we already pay for with our subscription fees.I like the idea for ordering real world goods through Station Cash. I'd most likely order a mousepad or something. Since the company already has our personal information on file, it'd be only a few clicks for them to receive an order. I really doubt they'd actually implement that though, since I'd guess that the overhead for real world item sales would be far more than the sale of virtual goods, and they'd have to factor in the shipping costs to the SC points price.

Things I think are appropriate for Station Cash, because I'm trying very hard to be "pro-active":<ul><li>More character slots</li><li>"Real World" swag, like T-shirts & jewelry, all the "pre-order rewards", & so forth; IOW, things that don't appear in-game at all.</li><li>Server transfers</li><li>Name change, on a one-time ONLY basis, with an in-game e-mail sent to everyone on the server telling you that So-&-So has changed his/her name to Such-&-Such, so that idiots can't just pay to run away from their idiot reputation.</li><li>Guild name changes, on the same basis as character name changes</li></ul>AFAIC, just about everything on Grimwell's list should be offered as an in-game reward for doing something in-game -- not at all something for which you have only to pull out a credit card <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/2e207fad049d4d292f60607f80f05768.gif" border="0" />

It would clog up my in-game boxes even worse than mail blasts from guildmates who discover they can mail everyone in the guild for any thought crossing their minds.I think the changes should be listed on a very accessible and instantly updated webpage which can be accessed at any time to confirm the identity of someone. There should be a date the change was effective, too, for easier tracking.When the EQ1 name change service was first implemented, there was a web page divided by server and it actually was updated pretty quickly, initially. After about a year, the updates stopped occuring or occured only sporatically and with ommisions.I also think server transfers should be recorded in a similar way and I have transfered from one server to another and back again to the orginal. Anyone who isn't transfering to "hide" shouldn't be concerned about the move being recorded.Other than being limited to once a calendar month, the number of times a change can be made (server transfer, name change, and/or guild change) should only be throttled by the cost. The cost should remain high (i.e. $50 each is decent) as a limiter.

Add to this scars and piercings. Also add a larger variety of skin color (my Dark Elf should be jet black, not charcoal black and my Half Elf [which is half Dark Elf] should be able to be charcoal black and not chocolate brown). Not just absent of bagginess but also absent of padding. Give us something that gives us the ability to order which of our illusions will be shown from preset settings. Example, we're given choices like first cast, last cast, longest duration, shortest duration. I would LOVE something which gives us the ability to reset the mounting point of house items. It'd be an item that has charges (at least 10 given we're talking about house items) and when used on a placeable item in your inventory it gives you the option to reset that item to be either a floor, ceiling, or wall mounted item. It wouldn't change the items mounting side (IE a picture which has its mounting side on its back wouldn't be changed to mount on its front), just what part of the house it mounts to. In addition to the above, give us a charged item that gives us the ability to reset the mounting side of a house item. As above, it would have charges (at least 10) and when used on a placeable item in your inventory, it gives you the option to reset that items mountable side to either front, back, top, bottom, left side, right side. For this to work correctly we would need to "edit" the item via a dressing room of sorts so we can see the item on each particular side before finalizing the change.

Fluff and nothing more in-game. There's an entire universe of alternatives to currently existing items that could be put in SC.Buying an appearance change for a weapon for starters. It has no effect in the game but I would give several dingo's kidneys if I could swap my WoWified fugly Ayonic Axe for a nice Katana model.Besides that, account servives in-game such as character transfers.in no uncertain terms there needs to be absolutely NO items that alter gameplay in any way, shape or form. If this happens it *will* kill the game.

I would pay for fluff items, and perhaps achievement potions once I eventually get the point where I need to start grinding points out.I pretty much am all about the fluff items that have already been listed but my top three I would probably buy in a heartbeat:<ul><li>Hats! No, not the generic skullcap model, ugh.</li><li>The "themed" appearance armor sets that have been mentioned in the thread several times</li><li>Stuff that falls under the "Old Exclusive" category on Grimwell's summarized list, except for the option of being able to buy any LoN loot card you want.</li></ul>And here is where I also that I'm one of those people who is for weapon appearance slots.

Ok, uh, I don't know what was wrong with my post (which was deleted)--all I said was that I agreed with Flaye. I even gave input: make the items buyable from Station Cash account related, such as server transfers (since we already have to pay for those anyway), and racial/gender/class respecs, as those things are currently unavailable to the player base. I don't think it's so out of line to say that new and unique fluff items should already be included with the price of our subscriptions. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/136dd33cba83140c7ce38db096d05aed.gif" border="0" />

Invisible wings for Fae/Arasai. Sometimes having the wings blocking vision in third person perspective can be a little problematic.Clear (transparent) color option for Fae/Arasai wings. So that you could still see the wing structure, but see through the wing, the way fly and dragonfly wings are. Maybe with a light shimmer effect.

+1 to RL swag, plushies, snowglobes ect.The ability to purchase certain figurines ONLY after defeating the MOB in-game would be pretty nice IMO.Maybe even a punching bag in the likeness of Venril Sathir or a battery powered LED "shiney".Please,look at the bigger picture concerning adding a class change option.Things would get ugly quick as the nerf bat swings to and fro. The thought of the Nerf bat for PROFIT option being a viable choice available to the devs scares me terribly.With the shift from RoK content to TSO, for example, SOE would have made a FORTUNE off people paying to switch to a SK now that thier Guard is no longer the instance tank of choice. ***Sell extra char slots instead, that way people can simply roll the flavor of the month not buy it, that is what SE servers are for.As far as Race, i dunno, personally i think this should have been made an option each time the racial abilities were changed. Alllowing it for a price now would result in raids full of Barbarians (tanks), Erudites(healers) and most heavily Dark Elves (DPS).(just my opinion about min/max racial choice) Another, OMG DO NOT DO!!! is the gift option. While i may not agree with the newly limited definition of what defines RMT and what doesn't.I think we can all find common ground that Player A "gifting" $20 a peice to VP raid guild X members only to find themselfs with a new shiney mythical is wrong. Right?***Quick edit; If by class change via SC would incur RESETTING a toon back to Adv. level 1 of any Adv. Class while retaining TS lvl, class and secondary TS. In that specific case, sure, I'm ok with that.

What I'd most like to see is a way to earn station cash as a reward for in game merits. This needs to be a 2 way street imo. Yeah those who have rl money but not the time to invest into the game can get stuff, but also there needs to be a way for those with the time to invest in-game but no the Rl money to buy this stuff.

I don't necessarily have a problem with versions of items available ingame or things like respec of race or sex being made available by Station Cash. But the current pricing is ridiculous. Looking at other micro transaction environments, you rarely pay more than a few dollars for something like a fluff outfit. I think a lot more of us would be willing to use Station Cash for fluff if the items were cheaper and more impressive. While I think the new white plate is pretty cool looking, I wouldn't pay that price for it.And the buccaneer outfit is very unimpressive, when most people would actually pay to look like a pirate, like the clothes on the pirates in Moors of Ykesha. Model some of that clothing for all the races, not just trolls, and people might buy it. I know I really liked the "officer's" clothing, but my half elf isn't wearing that troll illusion to get clothes that would otherwise look great! Actually, I know several guildies that would like to have clothing of that type, and might pay a small amount of real money to get it. Not ten bucks or more, though. Micro transactions should be exactly that....MICRO! A quarter of an expansion is.....quite a bit of real life cash for one thing.

12-27-2008, 07:25 AM

Something they should really put in the Cash Shop is extra character slots for alts. Seven slots just is not enough if you have been playing for years. I know lots of players would buy them.

Katanalla

12-27-2008, 12:24 PM

I have to agree, and what I'd like seeing (with other ideas restated yes I know) would be-Extra character slots -- 4 years god knows how many 20-40 alts I've slain-REAL FLUFF ARMOR -- Not retinted armor where you remove ONE snap on shoulder pad, try armor appearances that aren't used for anything else and try to keep that way. 10 dollars for retinted armor with 1 snap on removed is not worth it.-Illusion Kit --- An item to steal the appearance of your target that stays until you either cancel or use it on something else.-Proc Potions -- a 2hr or so duration potion that gives a 5-7 per minute proc rate to either heal caster, inflict dmg, get power back, massive detaunt, and a 2 combination one.-Racial Reset -- A lot of us who played when game came out, back then race didn't mean jack crap, and now they do, or maybe people just want to change their look without having to make a whole other character, level up to 80 and get a crap load of AA and raid gear. I have put 290 days into my main, I wish every day I could change his race.-House items! Unique no trade furniture bought 1 unit at a time. Keep it very cheap though, 25 cents to probably 50 cents tops, and people may love them. Again, keep them unique solely to station cash and not get lazy or it may fail, check into the forum area for Norrathian Homeshow for ideas -- wall panels, windows WITHOUT FRAMES, borders seperate, etc.Thats all I coul come up with, but main thing is to keep things cheap otherwise any good idea will fail, although I guess some people feel good about whipping out 10 dollars for a 2hr potion apparently. X.x

(1)respec card of AA: charges 10/10It's ridiculous that it takes 10 plats to respec AA.(2)status point/coin reduction items for Guild Hall(3)"self-mentoring" item: you can mentor at your voluntary levelLike "doll for self-mentor".(4)hired guard for the classes which is hard to solo(Warrior, Bard, Shaman, Sorceror): 4 hours of duration

This may have allready mention but personally I love the vampire illusions. The ones that come with Vampiric Toothache. So far I have noticed 3 diferent appearances each time I zone. I would definately be willing to pay for an item (probably for all my characters) that stayed till removed, allowed me to choose which appearance, that didn't suspend during combat or riding my horse.

I apologize if my ideas have already been mentioned, but I don't want to read through 13 pages...1. Racial Armors and Clothing. New and Unique skins exclusive to the Marketplace, not retouched/colored existing armors. Take a cue from some of the high fantasy art.2. Fluff weapons. We have been asking for you guys to open the fluff weapon slots since we got fluff armor slots. Would be perfect to allow it now with the SC. The Void Weapons were recieved with great pleasure, so we know you can make some cool looking models.3. More Picures. Scapes of various points of interest throughout the game and zones. Landmarks, Cities, Aerial views, maps...4. More Hats! Not to take away from the classless hat box, but some fun stuff. Birthday hats (should have made for this years vet reward) , Sombreros, Yamakas, Bad hair pieces, Powdered Wigs in outrageous size and fashion, Headdresses, more face masks(My idea previously posted for masquerade masks would be awesome; use fae/arasai wing models, shrink, glue together, make eye holes, Tah Dah!), Racial Hats (I want my Erudite Ceremonial Head cover!!), Gardening/Sun hat, Peacock/Cockatrice hat, Admiral's hat, Top hat, Bridal Veil, Pill box hat, Broken flower pot hat (think cartoon comedy), Deer/Bull/Unicorn/sheep horns and Bunny/Donkey/Cat/Bear ears, Antennae! like real looking and boingy-spring kind (stars, hearts, balls), Derbies and felt hats, Baseball caps, Football helmets, Hockey masks, A turkey hat, Cowboy hat, Winter hats (think Stan and Kyle from SouthPark), Newsboy/driver hats, straw hats, Bonnets, Paper Hats... You guys get the idea. There are so many things you can do!5. A 1 use, No-trade, lvl 1 artisan Recipe that will allow me to take any cloak and turn it into a tapestry. My boxes are getting full of cloaks that are too pretty to throw away! But, better yet, would be nice to be able to turn all cloaks that way like we can with the ale-stained cloak. Just put a generic rod on it for hanging, nothing fancy. Except for Live event cloaks, give them the brazier mounting (snowflake brazier for FF cloak, Fire work for Bristlebane day cloak, pink flame with hearts for E'day cloak, Bubbling Brew for Brewday Cloak, Dark Flame for Cloak of the Void.) 6. Costumes!<img src="http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa220/aztecqueen07/bunny.jpg" width="177" height="288" />PINK BUNNY SUIT FTW!That's all I can think of atm...

I think any item that directly influences combat or the tradeskill process should be kept well away from SC (i.e proc potions, TS +skill potions etc..)I think a 2-tiered system to SC would work well.1st tier would be stuff that is only available via SC, this should be limited to out-of-game options only.Character name changes (if this is allowed though, there should be a way to link the new and old names, i.e by the old name showing up when inspected or /who searched.)guild name changes (As with char name changes, there needs to be a way of checking on a guild old name)Server movesRace changesExtra character slotsThe 2nd tier would be ingame items, nothing but fluff.All of these items should also be available ingame, from a merchant. Using the token/shard mechanic with repeatable quests to gain the shards/tokens.Fluff armourIllussionsXP potions (I wasnt completely for these being available, but since they are already in, they would belong here)AA respec cardsChar Development respec cardsAppearance changeBeing able to 'gift' other players SC tokens in anyway is a big no. I cant see anyway of looking at this apart from sanctioned plat sales. (i.e , I give you £50 you buy me X SC credits or X SC items)

Arslan2000

01-05-2009, 03:12 PM

I agree with the above poster about the not being able to gift SC. That's just asking for trouble.What I would like to see in the store are the Norrathian Travel Vouchers. Instant teleport to any zone in the game.What I would be willing to buy are extra character slots. That should be purchased from Station.com though. If character slots are made available, they should be no more than $5 dollars per, and they should not add extra to the subscription fee. Look at City of Heroes and see what they are charging for extra slots. I am fine with there being a max character population on any one server. You can't buy 30 slots and put them all on Crushbone. That is silly. Over all I think the fee's for SC need to be lowered. As they stand, they are to expensive to make it worth the purchase.

When one person gains an edge over another because he bought an item with Real Life money is the day this game will DIE..What I would like to see is Illusions like the ones you can get from LoN. the Pirate Illusion, the Cloak Effects, Oh and I will second the many times posted WEAPON APPEREANCES.... <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

I would pay for an additional small zone or area in game where you can get additional quests and content. You can call it an adventure pack and release it every year 6 months after an expansion release. You can charge half of an expansions price or 19.99 to 24.99.You can release zones like kithicor woods isle or gulf of gunthak. You can even hire a small team of developer to work on this additional content maybe like 6 developers to work on additional art assets and quest content. I would pay for this content.You could even focus this adventure pack content to solo playstyle or small group instances and keep the expansion packs focused on group/raid gameplay like tso.I would pay for this new station cash content.

They did not sell enough or they made their money out of them and included them into the basic game. How about purchasable stuff from past live events. The furniture from the DIRTY event, the stuff from the Tempest event. Those would make interesting purchases.

To give those rewards to someone who drops a bit of real coin would be.. well.. it would belie the PR statements meant to assuage the concerns of the continuing players. BUT, if all the Living Legacy promotional things were made available, too, and unique guide quest rewards for the fact many of us never (or next to never) see a guide because of RL conflicts.. that might not be as hard a pill to swallow.As for suggestions for SC:To assuage the complaints of those who are concerned about a microtransaction cost on top of a subscription cost, I think it would be reasonable if the monthly subscription came with a small amount of SC each month. For someone who won't or can't (due to RL financial concerns) buy SC, it would give them a way to, possibly after 'saving up a few months', participate in obtaining even expensive items from SC without further outlay while also still giving those who want to participate more directly the option to do so. Kind of like how the vet rewards and the expansion sets always have a LoN card now and the current 5 free packs a month (though I keep forgetting to pick up my 2nd set so I will miss out on the 3rd set anyway *shrug*).Giving out a small amount of SC each month as part of the regular subscription might also give incentive to some to obtain the more expensive SC items by combining the 'free' coin with purchased coin making it cheaper for RL outlay.One game which has (or had, haven't looked at it in a couple years) that model is Second Life. For the subscription, the player received a small amount of Linden Dollars but could also purchase LD seperately. Low priced items were within the reach of the subscription obtained LD but more expensive things did require purchase of LD to obtain them immediately (and there was always the chance something would only be offered a short time only).

I would be interested in purchasing a token or potion or whatever that enables me to create a complete stack of items while tradeskilling as long as all the necesary ingredients are present.Examples include:Dust (Alchemists) Buying low level dusts and distilling them up to high level dusts is the most economical process. However, its not the most efficient due to the amount of time it takes. I would like to take a stack of 60 Scintillating Dust and distill it in to the appropriate stack (3:1) of Smoldering Dust in a single combine.Food/Drink (Provisioners) 2 at a time is mindnumbingly painful considering the quantities that a provisioner must make in order to place a worthy stack on the broker.While I believe this should be possible now with the use of a rare or miracle.. I'd be willing to pay real life cash now for the convenience alone as well as the hours of my life it would buy back.

Like many others in this thread, I am totally against any station cash item that gives stat or combat advantages to the purchaser. XP potions I'm okay with, as long as they're kept within reasonable limits (no eight-hour +300% potions, please), but please don't start adding unique spells, equipment, achievements, etc. to the store except for fluff purposes.I don't intend to use the station store for anything at this time, but there is one thing I can think of that I would probably want to buy at some point: Permanent extra character slots.Seven slots across all servers is not enough for a game with 24 adventuring classes, 9 tradeskill classes, and 19 races. Currently, we can buy Station Access to get four more slots, which we lose access to if we drop the station pass. It doesn't even make sense to me that extra character slots are tied to an all-in-one subscription package, but that's beside the point; I'm not gonna pay twice the monthly fee to get four more slots, especially since the more characters you have, the lower your average play time goes for each one.I'd probably be willing to pay a one-time fee of $20 per additional slot without thinking too hard about it. If I were really desperate, I might pay up to twice that. However, given that it costs $50 per character for a server transfer, I'm afraid we'd probably be looking at more like $200+ per slot for something like this. I realize that more characters means more data that needs to be stored, backed up, and processed, thus increasing operating costs, and I know the limit has been raised a bit since launch, but come on... seven slots per account is pretty stingy.

You could use all existing content and even incorporate existing quests into it (the main quest/storyline would lead you to a zone, and then you would have to do existing quests in that zone). The quest rewards wouldn’t have to be that special (keep your usual risk vs reward), but the storyline of the quest would have to be good.You could make both solo and heroic versions, and maybe even different quests that fit specific classes. For example, you could make a long solo quest for a paladin, and upon completing it, we would be rewarded a cool title that would match the storyline and access to a fluff zone (like a part of the Qeynos castle).</blockquote>I like this, sounds good for me. It has my vote!

Those things I will admit to wanting IN-GAME but not to be only available if you are willing to pay (more) RL Cash for this game. Being able to produce more Dusts (potions) or more Food/Drink in shorter amount of time makes it easier to flood the market and be top producer, without the effort. ...Though, the Dust Distillation process is not exactly economical, as is, anyway.Since SOE isn't lowering the Monthly fee to bare-min or none with this new Station Cash, nothing in it should affect the actual Game Play. Fluff .. Fluff .. Fluff and more Fluff .. is all I ever want to see in this thing without them removing the monthly fee. If they remove the monthly fee .. by all means .. **** the game up to your hearts desire.---One thing I would personally like to see added to SC would be the ability to change the Guild Name. I've been wanting to drop this Guild name since I got saddled with it.

Not much I would want to see that you can buy with cash out of the game. You should be able to make just about everything. Armor with diffrent colors, eye patches, adorments and potions should all be made in the game.If these things are not made in the game and you can buy them then take out crafting.I would like to see items that are not reward items for years played but some people may have missed and cant get any longer like the baby dragons from luanch. I for one wasnt able to get the dire bear because SOE made a mistake and didnt process my preorder. I might be willing to buy one. Things like that, but alot of time and thought has to be put into it.Another idea is chachter storage. You do not play a chachter but don't want to delet it pay 5 bucks to store it, or purchase an extra slot. I myself think you should have at least10 slots on every servre for free but oh well some people may buy extra slots.Well thats a couple of ideas, i personly think the whole cash store thing is dumb and could lead to big problems if not carefuly watched and controled, most of my friends that play eq or eq2 think the same way.What I would really like to see is Sony careing less about little gimicks to get us to pay more and more attention to improving the game. I have said this before make the game free and only pay a monthly subscription. Every thing free including expansions and the cash store and a 18 dollar subscription fee looks good and everyone can at least download the game at no cost. You could sell a hard copy from the cash store? I would probably buy a hard copy for 5 bucks. What realy sucks is every time something new is introduced it cost alot of money. I know alot of people that would being playing now if they didnt have to buy the game and then sign up to pay every month.

There are a few things I would maybe spend money on from station cash.1.) Name change service2.) Race change service3.) Gender change serviceProbably could combine it all and just sell somethign that lets you 'redesign' that character from the ground up but keep the spells/lvls/gear/class etc that you already had, just let you go in now where you change looks and let you 'start over' with picking a race and go about it that way.I just know I have a few toons that I wouldnt mind changing their name and race....and the Gender thing is thrown in just cause sometimes you might change races and not like the gender model for that race. Like a dark elf female who wants to be an orgre or something. Definatly would want to maybe swap to male model for that one.Aside from services like this....I just dont see anything that would make me want to spend RL money.

If it must exist, which I am very leary of its existance, it should be available for things that are not otherwise available and that are strictly cosmetic.

I posted this idea in Items and Equipment forum once. But the response wasn't forthcoming. I will post the idea here again. I would like to see bone armor set like bone armor or Daemon Bone Armor of Ultima Online. The image is the following. Bone Armor Set <a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h29/umbycord/?action=view&current=bonearmor.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h29/umbycord/bonearmor.gif" border="0" ></a> Daemon Bone Armor Set <a href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h29/umbycord/?action=view&current=daemonbonearmor.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h29/umbycord/daemonbonearmor.png" border="0" ></a> I think that bone armor like this will fit SK's image. So, I suggested this bone armor for SK in Items and Equipment forum because I wanted to wear bone armor as a SK. This time, I suggest bone armor like the above for appearance slot. White, red, even black bone armor set is acceptable, imo. Anyway, I want to wear bone armor set for appearance though I think that some refinement by SOE is needed. Thanks.

I have ploped my cred card down for the snow white plate armor with gold filigree. other items i would like to see or would buy. would be other plate armor that looked unique (NOT A RECOLOR OF THE SAME TIERD PIECES) Same with dresses get a few new patterns and color choices the wizards are stuck off in those hidious robes i know you have the art department for such things how about a red slinky dress or a pink one .i like to acsesorise my mounts saddle or the mount itself with whatever i am wearing. i would buy a mod that made my unicorn a pegesus at bird towers. would like to see diff horse mount sadelry styles i almost betrayed my city to get a nightmare mount. would also pay for unique house items perhaps like the guild hall amenities i have an awesome bar at my house would love to have npc's in my house like a bartender. i would also like to see stationary pets ones that you could place like plushies and they stay put! many new gardens are apearing in homes would like to see frogs lilly pads and swarming coi. thats all for nowciao

I would love to see race specific mannequinns (?). Ones that have actual faces and hands. The crafted ones are nice but they look utterly ridiculous in the formal wear because there are just sticks where hands should be and a round ball for their head. It would be nice to have a kerra or dark elf....something that actually looks like your character that isn't just your armor that you are wearing. There should be male and female of every race as well. If possible you should be able to customize the hair color/fur color, height, and all that other good stuff as well.

I would like a one use voucher or something so I could change our guildname.We have had this guild (small family/friend guild) for almost 5 years and we have all changed alot from back when it was formed. So the name doesnt really fit us anymore. Of course we could make a new guild but it have alot of affectional value to us and its hard to lvl up a guild when you are so few and casual playing at best.

<div>Hello again. It's time to lock this thread. I have a great list of detailed feedback and suggestions.I'd like to remind everyone that what I'm about to post is a detail of your suggestions. It is not a commitment list from the development team, it's a list of suggestions that I'm going to pass along (again in updated form) so they can take in your feedback.As I was a bit busy after the break, it's been a while since I moderated the thread. Recent posts skewed waaaay off target, so I removed them. Further discussion about your thoughts for appropriate Station Cash items is more than welcome in the forums. Please feel free to discuss them in the appropriate sub-forums so the conversation is topical and relevant to the forum you choose to post it in. Example: You have an idea for what you think would be a great and fun illusion to have in the Station Marketplace. Post it in the "Look and Feel" sub-forum of the EQII boards so the people who are looking for artistic ideas find it in their scan of that forum. Don't post it in the Combat forum where it's not going to make sense to the people there.Beyond that, I would like to thank everyone who contributed an idea for things they would like to see from Station Cash. While I can't promise that everything requested will ever be used I can say that everyone here at SOE deeply appreciates you taking the time to give a suggestion. Thanks!</div>
