<p>SC thing aside,I think it's fun if there is The fish item which moves the narrow range.There are many people who want to put it into a tank and to look at it.For exsample, A linear gone-back-and-forth type, Circumference movement type, and so on.</p>

[Alisu]

<p>Nice items.  I would really like to see some new armor sets though.  Like Earthruned armor, Stormcatcher armor, spread across the different teir types.  Plate, cloth, chain.  Maybe even finish off the Soulscorned armor in some plate and swords.  Just a thought.</p>

We can only hope that when they get put out, the other blocks we have gotten from city fest will follow suit.</p>

I really would like to see more cosmetic armors available soon, as I have several characters I'd like to dress up in something new. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" /></p>

[Ashlanne]

<p>Sorry about that guys...  That is what I get for not triple checking things.  I checked it before I pushed the feature to the website but not before I pushed it live to the forums.</p><p>Thanks for letting us know about the error.</p>

<p>I thought the phrase for March was "More to Play. Your Way" and not "More to Pay. Your Way". </p><p>Must have been a typo</p>

<p>I know it's a touchy issue, but any chance of letting the building blocks go into ghs?</p>
