Station Marketplace

No matter how many times you tell the Bugbear that the guild isn’t raiding for his alt, he still rolls need on absolutely everything. The EQ2 Station Marketplace added a couple of new items today. The Bugbear joins the Kobold, Orc, and some creepy elves as the newest denizen of your apartment or guild hall. Personality-wise, Bugbear isn’t the best team player. If you’re not in his tribe, then you’re nothing. And if you DO happen to be a Bugbear – from his tribe – well, he’s more important than you, and the elders like him more, and they wanted him to have this thing. ...

It was really cool! See, Kasul and I were kinda bored, and we were alone in the guild hall, and we got to thinking about what we could do and so we … HEY! STOP SNIGGERING! OMG! You people… I swear. I’m gonna stop writing this post unless you stop laughing. It wasn’t THAT kind of encounter. A couple of weeks ago, SOE put an Orc Centurion into their Station Marketplace thingy RMT thing.

Too long has the EQ2 Station Marketplace modeling job been dominated by “sexy” or “good looking” or even “somewhat attractive” models. It’s time for a change. It’s time for the gnomes to take over. The annual Brewday festival starts today (I think), but you won’t need to be drunk to grab these fine new hats and outfits for a little bit of cash. Show off your love of 70s-era live television comedy with your very own “Beldar and Prymatt Conehead” hat. Just the thing for ‘imbibing mass quantities’ on Brewday! For vertically-challenged gnomes, this hat has another feature – now you’re taller than any dwarf in the room! They will back away from your gnomish awesomeness as you cheerfully explain how the ratio of the height to the circumference of your hat is EXACTLY the same as the ratio of Master Dwarf’s intelligence to his hobnailed boot size! HA! ...

Back in, oh, I guess this would be the early 90s, I had a friend who was so excited about finally putting all her paintings – ‘paintings’ – on this new World Wide Web thing. I’d known she liked art, but painting? I didn’t know she did that. She sent everyone in our little circle of friends links to her paintings page. And it was all, every single one, pictures of her filtered through some oil painting setting of some early paint program. ...
