I had a friend who liked to decorate and I hired her to do my house. She didn't do anything wild or out of the ordinary, but she simply made the place look great.<br /><br />Some of the PA halls that were set up as shopping malls had some pretty insane deco -- at least up in the public areas. I wish I'd kept all my screenshots.

I do prefer open-world housing, provided it avoids urban sprawl. Vanguard has an excellent version that could really have been something if the game had been even a moderate success.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-75424101924732869532011-10-28T18:07:36.877+01:002011-10-28T18:07:36.877+01:00UO (back in 2001 or so?) let you free-build a hous...UO (back in 2001 or so?) let you free-build a house in the open world. It was pretty great. I remember spending a lot of time locking down tables and such to create "open" paths, and keeping my "private" areas blocked off to store items and such. A lot of very creative people made some great-looking (and functional) shops or arenas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-34278647283639584912011-10-28T05:25:56.811+01:002011-10-28T05:25:56.811+01:00Great points all around, and they hit to the core ...Great points all around, and they hit to the core of what I was saying over at my place. The idea that quests and similar things are the only things that qualify as content is very narrow.Ardwulfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12899867754143531668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-43106446439231499332011-10-28T00:21:34.725+01:002011-10-28T00:21:34.725+01:00Thanks for the feedback.

I've heard a lot about the housing there but in my brief visits I haven't found managed to find any great examples. Random house visiting is a needle/haystack affair at best, though.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-34577434714094638222011-10-27T23:49:40.594+01:002011-10-27T23:49:40.594+01:00I would say Star Wars Galaxies rivalled EQ2 up til...I would say Star Wars Galaxies rivalled EQ2 up till its last gasp. Every object in the game was able to be picked up and mounted on a wall or put on the floor. People used to order droids, suits of armour etc as furniture.<br /><br />With the demise of SWG EQ2 is unrivalled.<br /><br />Add me to the Domino fan club. I was never a fan of devs worrying too much about forums before but she has made a wonderful job both of taming the forum and taking good feedback from the EQ2 crafting forum and adding it to the game.<br /><br />She has a blog you know, well worth adding to your blogroll:<br />http://tradeskill.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Btw good job here. Nice layout well-written articles.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.com
