It includes a minor change to the Options window, but very few mods have this in it, soo 99% of all working mods should see no change.

Charm slot: Changes inv window?
 

Won't the new charm slot require changes to custom inventory windows? I can't imagine where else it would go.

And if anyone has custom bank windows, they will need to change as well. I think I read about increased bank space being added too.

cartography also indicates a 'map' window.

Two Oart excitement Kudane? ;)

/tease

fixed.. (again) IT WAS EARLY!!! and i was excited.. ROFL

LOL its to dark when downloading you cant see the time ?? one thing they where to stuped to see

Oh, the irony.

New Cartography System
 

New Cartography System may NOT be new at all - The already used system in LEGENDS could be what they are going to offer to the full set of servers.

Think about it... It's already coded and so they can just enable it everywhere and it looks like they gave us something special.

Guild Management Tool Discription

Re: Guild Management Tool
 

execept that both of these are part of the selling point for Legends, sooooo if they did this.. it would cut a big hole in the Legend Server.

I don't doubt it could be something close to this.. but I havea feeling "new" means new....

hehehe

I agree that Legends was sold in part for the guild and map system but that was NOT the main draw of the Legends server. The interactive GM support and quests is the main Legends selling point. The already coded and I must say "debugged" Cartography System and Guild Management Tool would be a great draw to the expansion. SOE taking the "as is" systems and placeing them into an expansion that would get 100,000+ sales would more then offset a dip in Legends users. This would be a smart move on SOEs part and that is why I think what we will find is the Legends systems placed into this expansion.

This is all just a guess on my part but knowing how SOE has gone as of late, I feel it is a good guess.

rumor says there's a new bankwindow xml file on test that shows sixteen bank slots.

looks like bank space will double!

Thats good news for me! I'm a packrat :)

I'm with Dolby. I keep so much useless crap I don't know whether to laugh or cry. :D

charm slot
 

I play on the Test server and the Charm slot has been added to the default invertory window. It is beside the ammo slot.
Right now it's listed as EQType 0 and uses the background image of the ear slot.

Also there has been a new bank window xml file add to the defaults. It's named BigBankWnd.XML and does show having 16 slots :)

It would make sense that the new bank window and the new inventory windows have new names to separate issues between the UI's Forces you to upgrade to get more space and to use charms... has there been ANY indication that some of this new stuff will actually roll down to users who are NOT getting Ykesh?
