EverQuest II Guild Hall Preview at Allakhazam(0)

I know I’m behind the curve on this one, but for your reading pleasure I have attempted to faithfully transcribe eight pages of Q&A from the Guild Hall Panel.  Plus the talk point slides and a lot of pictures (and I have more, thanks Luxx!).

There’s also a link to guild hall changes which have been announced since this panel.

The Riddler 08/20/08(21)

Welcome to the weekly game that tests your knowledge of all things Star Wars Galaxies! This is a game we like to call The Riddler!

The rules are pretty simple - I will post a riddle that can be about any item, person, place, or thing in the Star Wars Galaxies universe. The game will continue until the riddle has been solved.

 

Do not answer in the form of a question.

 

After the riddle has been posted, guesses will only be allowed in the thread until after The Riddler has been solved.  Please don’t clutter up the thread by discussing anything else within it until the game is over.  After it is, you can discuss The Riddler all you want…but until that time, anyone posting anything other than an answer to The Riddler will have their post removed.

 

Some will be harder than others so be sure to play every week for your chance to win!

The first person to answer the riddle correctly wins this cool icon and forum title: The Riddler

No edits allowed. Spelling counts!

Galactic Showcase - The Catacombs(6)

The Galactic Showcase puts the most creative storyteller events and player structures from all galaxies on display. Once concealed by a mist, this tomb was discovered not long after a similar mist lifted from the Force sensitive village of Aurilia. The tomb resides on Naboo and guarded by prophets of the dark side and an eternal flame.

Clockwork Gamer Guild Hall Cost Calculator!(14)

I’ll admit that I was pretty excited to be in the room when guild halls were finally revealed. The sheer size of the Tier 3 "Island Fortress" is fairly intense. It’s at least five times the size of a zone like Qeynos Harbor with rooms and staircases that go on forever.

When Jindrack and Rothgar began to show off the list of amenities to the assembled Fanfaire attendees, they scrolled through pretty quickly. What they didn’t count on was that our own Clockwork Cameraman Pantheros was on-hand to snap off several dozen "burst" shots on his high end Canon SLR. The short version is that we managed to collect every revealed amenity and cost that SOE saw fit to put on the screen and scroll through.

Now, because we really want to share that information with the rest of you, our Clockwork Overlord, Zobek, has been hard at work over the past few days building out a Ennumeration Calculatron Device (something like that) for us to use to figure out just how expensive a Guild Hall will be for us. However, this tool is just so much fun to play with, we’ve decided to make it available to everyone to use.

So, for your enjoyment, I present the Clockwork Gamer Guild Hall Cost Calculator, which you can also find under our handy "tools" section. Have fun planning!
