Haven't been playing much lately as I've been busy and mostly tweaking/decorating at this point.

Persey's Mountaintop Retreat has had some updates since last time.

The courtyard has a new gold/obsidian monolith thing. Also made a roofed section for the crafting area.

Pretty interesting Round Table Response video this week (multiple starting cities): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKm_z15uIMs

The business of Landmark has also been revealed: https://forums.station.sony.com/eqn.../the-business-of-eqn-landmark-revealed.22393/

Phase 1: This is the “Founder’s Pack” era of our game that we’re in now. Everyone in Alpha bought a back-stage pass so that they could hang with the band and influence their music. That’s what we’re doing together now, and it has been amazing so far.

Phase 2: We start selling stuff. Not a lot of stuff. Basically, just resources and character outfits. This phase will happen in the latter part of Alpha.

  • Outfits are a no-brainer, and we’ve all seen this kind of offering in other games. You buy an outfit and it’s yours forever. Landmark’s a little different in that we won’t have appearance slots. So, if you want to keep that appearance (even when we have combat stats in the game), never fear. You can add stats and abilities to any appearance you buy, so you get the stats AND still keep using the cool outfit you bought.
  • Resources. Currently, our progression game is limited by resources, so selling those resources may seem like we’re allowing you to pay for power. But our current game progression is not the intended real progression. Very soon, you’ll only need handfuls of resources to make picks and other tools. Tool and item progression will be limited by activities completed and achievements gained… not by resources. So, letting people buy resources is really just a time shortcut to let people build more easily. (NOTE: You can also trade with other players for resources, and, of course, you can go gather them yourself. The SC option is just a shortcut.)
Phase 3: This is an ongoing phase where, as we add features, we also add time shortcut methods as well. This phase will be ongoing, but you’ll start seeing these features toward the end of Alpha. What is a time shortcut? Here’s a theoretical example: Let’s say you have to craft a recipe in order to make a “power up my pick” potion so you can gather resources more quickly. The time shortcut option would be available as a button on your Collections sheet, so you could just buy that potion effect immediately instead of needing to craft it first. We’re going to create these “point of need” interfaces for things like paying for upkeep, renting market stalls, and a short list of other convenience items. These shortcuts will not be allowed to affect game balance and can be avoided completely through in-game effort, if desired.

Phase 4: We launch Player Studio. At that point, all of our players can start submitting templates to the store and letting other players buy them. This should occur early during Closed Beta.

Phase 5: Finally, at the end of Closed Beta, we add one more chunk of items. These are bigger-ticket items like cosmetic pets, sound/music packs for your claims, name/gender changes, extra claim flags, and more.

Started building again and after 4-5 hours of making a cool underground fortress, my floors vanished making my whole zone a bottomless pit of doom!

Nothing I tried fixed it... so I blew up my claim and started over.

Vanished as in they became invisible, or vanished as in you could fall through them? I've done quite a lot of underground / in mountain work myself and have had issues where when I'm cutting into the existing ground, the plane that I'm working on "disappears"and I can see through to the other side of the mountain. I'm pretty sure it was just a visual bug, though it usually occurred to me when cutting up, not down so I'm not 100% certain. Either way, undo/redo has always fixed the problem.

Ah, right. So what will happen when the MMO releases? Will they incorporate Everquest Next Landmark into "Everquest Next" or will they still be two different games, one being the MMO and the other one the building game?

They are two different games, Landmark isn't going anywhere once Next is released.

Next will also have building, but it won't be the main focus like it is in Landmark.

Well, server stability is greatly improved. No more emergency restarts, no more voxel data loss, no more queues, etc. Likewise, the most annoying bugs are gone. You log in where you logged off, item loss isn't a major concern, the UI is less buggy (less mind you, still plenty of quirks).

So yeah, the game is quite a bit less frustrating than it was in the very beginning, but it's largely still the same game as there haven't really been any major additions yet. This week's update should be the first real update to the game feature wise. Hopefully it'll go smoothly...

There is a big update planned for Thursday, that will be adding 2 new biomes (tundra and new forest area). So new materials will be added, and maybe new wood tiers. We'll find out more tomorrow during the livestream at 4PM PST.

It's more detailed to a point. You truly can do so much more with Minecraft. With landmark they focused on a more simple game of building on small parcels of land with lots of detail instead of all the big world functionality one can have with something like Minecraft.

Additional / linked claims and permissions will be added in which will allow collaborative works that are *very* large. Sure you wont have the ability to wander forever like Minecraft, but I don't think building itself will be impacted size wise. Even with the wandering, with going between the individual islands and servers, you wont run out of area to explore very quickly.

The biggest omission compared to Minecraft IMO is the lack of building interaction / reactivity. Redstone in Minecraft allows many fancy things to be done that simply can't be matched in EQNL. At least not yet... I have no idea what their plans are on that front.

They are definitely putting in some degree of automation, but they haven't released details yet. I vaguely remember someone on one of the livestreams mentioning pressure plates linked to doors coming at some point.

Server are down for probably the biggest update since Alpha Launched.

https://forums.station.sony.com/eqnlandmark/index.php?threads/update-notes-03-06-14.23270/

General Overview

This update lets you experience new biomes and islands, lets you torture test the new Smoothing tool, and provides you with extra room to spread out and build (attached claims)!
Unfortunately, the claims permission feature we wanted to release to you this week turned out to be more time intensive than we had hoped and it will slip until next week’s update.
So, more space this week (and a huge raft of bug fixes), a new tool to use, new areas to explore, new materials to build with and a ton of plants, rocks and trees to help round out your claims. Next week, is claim permissions, claim ratings, claim upkeep, groups and friends!
Enjoy!

Feature Updates
• Attached claims! You can now create an attached claim that must be placed directly next to an existing claim. You can craft an attached claim flag at the stone forge! Currently you can have up to 2 attached claims.
• New Smoothing Tool is in the game! This new tool will allow the system to add/remove voxels while smoothing in order to create more natural shapes and curves.
• There are 2 new biomes! Tundra and Old Growth Forest. To avoid having to do a claim wipe on the existing islands, we’re rolling out 12 new ones instead, bringing the total number of islands on each world to 50!
o Abyss (Tier 1) – Old Growth Forest & Tundra
o Barrier (Tier 1) – Old Growth Forest & Tundra
o Channel (Tier 1) – Old Growth Forest & Tundra
o Shield (Tier 1) – Old Growth Forest & Tundra
o Cave (Tier 2) – Old Growth Forest & Tundra
o Kettle (Tier 2) – Old Growth Forest & Tundra
o Spine (Tier 2) – Old Growth Forest & Tundra
o Valley (Tier 2) – Tropical Jungle & Old Growth Forest
o Gully (Tier 3) – Old Growth Forest & Tundra
o Stump (Tier 3) – Old Growth Forest & Tundra
o Tube (Tier 3) – Old Growth Forest & Tundra
o Tunnel (Tier 3) – Tropical & Tundra
• The new materials in the new biomes are available to be used as building materials now as well!
• We’ve added recipes for all of the tree, plant and rock props that are around in the world. This should allow you to create the missing props so your templates will once again work. These recipes are temporary while we work on the real system for collecting these types of props from the world.
• We’ve changed the Selection tool controls a little to make it much easier to use the Selection tool at small sizes. Holding Shift will now cause the manipulation arrows to appear and be usable. Control is now used to grab the “far side” of the selection volume (previous, this is what Shift did).
Click to expand...

Bug Fixes
• When attempting to place a template, if you are missing props that cause you to not be able to place it, the game now lists each prop (and number needed) so that you know what you need to craft. (NOTE: If you had a template that didn’t seem to work any longer, try it again now. The chances are that you were missing a prop and didn’t know it.)
• Fixed numerous client crashes.
• The red rock (material ID 1) should now be usable in templates and building. It missed our last pass at including the terrain materials for building. Silly data gnomes were slacking again.
• The island list at the hub Teleport crystal is now alphabetized!
• MouseLook (right mouse button) and CameraLook (left mouse button) now behave properly while standing as well as while moving around in the world.
• There was a problem with bad characters in loot notifications breaking the chat window and only showing parts of the loot message. This should now be fixed.
• Dragging an item on to the character sheet to equip it will now equip it in an empty slot if one is available rather than swapping with another item in the first slot of that type.
• Creating a female character should no longer show a male character for a split second before getting in to the game.
• After deleting a character, it will no longer show your old equipment in Character Create.
• Fixed an issue that could cause you to sometimes have a reticule attached to your cursor after you unequipped a tool.
• You can now interact with the UI while moving around and it will no longer stop you.
• Fixed a bug that would allow you to harvest trees on claims when you shouldn’t be able to.
• We’ve fixed an issue on the required resources to make a change on your claim. Previously you had to have the total number of resources needed BEFORE it took in to account the existing resources in the area you are changing. Now, you only have to have the difference between what it would cost and what you’re going to be refunded.
• We’ve cleaned up a lot of the character stats. See the table below with the details. These are subject to change as we move forward and some of these stats aren’t being used yet, but they will be!
• Previously if you entered the map while in first person mode, it would switch you back to third person when you exited the map. It will now return you to whatever mode you were in before opening the map.
• There is now a maximum name size (30) for templates. Previously it would fail to create the template if you entered a name that was too long.
• The names for all crafting stations will now shrink to fit in to the UI instead of just overlapping the edges of the area.
• Made tooltip placement better when they were appearing near the edge of the screen.
• Changed the crafting window to notify you when your inventory is full instead of graying out the Craft button as that lead to lots of confusion and thinking that crafting was broken.
• If you’re in a claim that gets deleted, we now make sure the UI with the claim information goes away.
• You can no longer hide the UI while in character/server select.
• The mouse cursor will no longer change to the crafting cursor when you’re too far away and hovering over a crafting station.
• Previously, if a large prop touched the edge of your claim it could get “stuck” in a state that wouldn’t let you move it. This has been fixed.
• There was a way to lose an item if you attempted to place it near the edge of your claim. This should no longer happen.
• The targeting reticule will now behave appropriately when switching between a pickaxe and dynamite
• The hub spires have received a face lift. Now they even come equipped with ramps you can run up!
• When you duplicate a prop on your claim, it will now remember the rotation and scale of the original prop.
• When you destroy an item from a chest it now tells you the name of the item you’re destroying.
• When crafting a quantity of items, the number now properly decrements as you craft them.
• The Prime Grappler can now be deleted!
• The bottoms of letters will no longer be cut off in the chat window or in character create.
• The crafting window will now select the first category, first recipe, when opening the window up for the first time.
• You can no longer resize your chat window until it disappears.

Looking forward to the attached claims, new biomes/materials, and the smooth tool, but I really hope they've stealth fixed the prop lighting bug this time. It's kind of a PITA to build at night at the moment when the only light in the area is the lightstone on your character.

The roadmap was updated: https://forums.station.sony.com/eqnlandmark/index.php?threads/eqnl-roadmap.18810/

Coming 3/12
  • Friends: Self-explanatory, but you need a way to see who is online from the folks you know, as well as to be able to find their claims and see them on the map.
  • Twitch/Facebook/Twitter: Some of you will want to brag. Some of you want to stream. And to be honest, the more you folks do that, the bigger the game can become. So we’re trying to make it easy for you.
  • Teleport to Claim
  • Teleport to Hub
  • Teleport to Friend
  • Unified Tools : We have way too many different ways to rotate, translate, and scale things. There should be a single system across all tools so that you can manipulate them all in the same ways, and those ways should be intuitive and easy to use.
  • Claim Permissions: Building by yourself is fun. Building something grandiose with other players is even more so. Permissions allow you to cooperate together on your claims.
Click to expand...
Coming 3/19
  • Claim Ratings : Bragging is fun. Getting comments and ratings from people that stop by your claim can also be fun. Having ratings lets us also add leaderboards and let the best of the creators in our community begin to surface. They’re also critical for our Player Studio presentation later on.
  • Key configs: Yes, you need to be able to customize your key mappings. Duh, right? It’s coming.
  • Groups & Group Harvesting Bonus: Right now, when you harvest, it’s a race for those resources against other people. It’s almost a PvP-ish kind of feeling. We don’t want that. So the systems are changing so that it’s advantageous to group together when harvesting.
  • Additional Claims : After Attached Claims are working well, and we have more server hardware in place, we’ll also be letting you establish more claims in different locations. It’s coming!
  • Claim Upkeep : Empty and abandoned claims are not cool. So we’re introducing Upkeep which is basically a small amount of in-game coin you have to spend to keep your claim from being repossessed into the world and made available to other players. (NOTE: If you don’t pay your upkeep all you lose is your spot in the world. All your resources, props, crafted items, etc., are saved in your inventory and your buildout is templatized and saved for you.)

Figures... I get to work in the morning, check Georgeson's twitter feed and see the servers did come up a few hours earlier. Content with the fact that they managed to get things working, I stop paying attention to the feed for the rest of the day. When work finally ends and I try to log on when I get home... I get the server down error and find out that they brought the servers down again for an update 5 minutes prior.

I jinxed myself with the emergency patch comment yesterday... =(

I pulled up stakes and grabbed a new claim on one of the new servers (can't remember the name). I just didn't feel like I could expand upon my old claim in a way I wanted, and I have an idea for a new theme for this claim.

Also, the 3/19 roadmap mentions upkeep costing coin, but no mention of implementing coin in the game. :p

Patch notes: https://forums.station.sony.com/eqnlandmark/index.php?threads/update-notes-03-13-2014.24566/

Feature Updates
• Claims Permissions are in! You can now give your friends permissions to help build on your claim(s). These are set through claims interface, which you can access now through the Start menu, and have to be set for each person you want to have rights to change your claim. Currently, there is an issue with moving/adjusting or interacting with props on someone else’s claim. This issue will be fixed for next week’s update, but we wanted to get the rest of permissions out there for everyone to have fun with!

No Access – You cannot use any tools on this claim (default for everyone but yourself).
Visitor –Once the prop issue is fixed, Visitors will be able to use any placed prop.
Customer – The permissions of a Visitor PLUS the ability to take items from chests.
Decorator – The permissions of a Customer PLUS the ability to move props you didn’t place (once we fix the prop permission issue).
Builder – The permissions of a Decorator PLUS the ability to place or destroy voxels and place a prop. If you placed it, you can also move it around.

• Phase two of our business plan has begun, so the marketplace now exists within the game…and it even has some stuff in it for sale if you’re so inclined! Resource bundles and character outfits are available for you to peruse. To enter the marketplace, just hit the “shopping cart” button at the bottom of the screen. The rest should be self-explanatory!

Many of the features within the marketplace are grayed out right now (because we’re still building them) but this area will become very, very useful in the near future for contests and claim ratings as well. You’ll see.
This is also the area where Player Studio offerings will be available. The “What’s Trending?” categories and such will make a lot more difference later on.
You can use the Categories pull-down on the left side of the search panel, or just type any tags you want to use for a search and hit enter. This takes you to a Search Results page where every item with that tag on it is shown. (This becomes vastly more useful later when we have more items and Player Studio opens up.)
Anything you purchase on the marketplace (or that you get with the Founder’s Packs) will persist through any wipes we do.

• Overflow Inventory! This is a new tab in your inventory that will only show up a situation occurs where you are granted items, but your inventory is full (e.g., when you Delete a claim that has 1,000,000 stone on it). You can go there and drag items out to your normal inventories. Be warned though: Items will be destroyed after being in your overflow inventory for 24 hours of in-game time. We will be balancing this time limit and will let you know when it changes.
• Tweak Mode is now in the game!

With a paste volume or template, if you hold SHIFT+CLICK to place it, you can then move around and modify the placement of it to be exactly where you want before you confirm the placement (which you do by clicking the checkmark button).
With a prop, if you hold SHIFT+CLICK to place it, you automatically go into “adjust” mode so you can easily move it around without it being attached to your cursor.
With any building tool, you can SHIFT+CLICK to enter tweak mode before you confirm the placement as well! This even works with the Line Tool (both parts)! :)

• Friends are now in the game! Now all of those friend requests can actually be accepted (or declined)! We’ve also added a Blocked list for people who are the opposite of your friends! You can access these by pressing ‘K’ or by using the “Friends” button from the Start Button.
• Added 4 new paintings to be used in decorating your house, castle, pub, tent, giant statue or other creation! These can be crafted at the Tin Trimmed Work Bench (or higher versions of the work bench).
Click to expand...

Changes
• We have made significant changes to wood harvesting.

Burled and Striped wood are no longer rare drops on trees, instead specific trees drop specific types of wood. Look for burled wood in the desert and striped wood from many of the larger trees in the tundra and old growth forests.
Trees now drop significantly fewer logs than before, but logs can now be converted into many planks at saw tables. All recipes requiring wood logs have been altered to use a proportionately smaller amount and building now pulls from your plank supply instead of your log supply.
All trees now drop a new item called Heartwood, which is now the primary crafting resource from tree harvesting. You are guaranteed 1 heartwood per tree, and this is the rate at which all tool recipes have been balanced. Many tools that previously used planks or logs now use various types of Heartwood.
Several rare trees in each biome drop a unique item instead of heartwood that is used for higher tier crafting recipes. These trees can only be chopped down with higher tier axes.

The Alchemy Crafting Station is now available and will allow you to create higher tier versions of heartwood by combining it with the unique items dropped by rare trees. These high tier heartwood items are required to craft several high tier tools, such as axes and picks.
Several new axes have been added to the game and the overall axe progression has been modified.
Stone Axe – Harvests basic trees in any biome
Tin Axe – Harvests basic trees in any biome (but more awesome than a stone axe!)
Silver Axe – Harvests basic trees in any biome (cooler than a tin axe)
Gold Axe - Harvests basic trees + special Jungle and Desert biome trees
Rubicite Axe - Harvests basic trees + special Jungle, Desert, and Tundra biome trees

We have also made some changes to the way we assign quality to gathered and refined resources, as well as changed the actual names of our quality types from Common, Uncommon, and Rare to Average, Superior, and Exceptional. Legendary items remain Legendary, and NO item statistics were modified by this change. The quality of crafted tools also remains unchanged.
All ores, ingots, gems, stones, and plants are now Superior [Uncommon], which should make elemental drops (which remain Exceptional [Rare]) easier to spot.
All types of wood are now Average [Common] and all heartwood and seed drops are now Superior [Uncommon].
Changed the quality names assigned to items from.. Item statistics were not changed.

• Added animations when your character is crafting an item.
• You can now use Free Look (left mouse button) when you have a tool equipped if you couldn’t activate the current tool based on where your mouse currently is.
• You can now walk around the world instead of running! You can press ‘.’ to toggle back and forth between walk and run. Sprinting automatically puts you in run mode.
• We’ve added “cannot use” mode drawing for all tools now so that you can easily see if a click of the mouse should actually work or not when you’re building with the various tools. We’ve also added sound effect feedback for when you attempt to use a tool when you can’t actually use it.
• Claim Management is now available via the start menu or by pressing the ‘U’ key.
• We’ve extended the range at which you can see trees. But make sure to continue to search for the forest.

Bug Fixes
• Fixed a problem that was stopping people from getting their Founder’s Pack items if they recently purchased a pack.
• The material tray now shows the material you’ve selected! It should now automatically open to your current selection when you expand the tray.
• Fixed a problem where a number of props were showing up faded or gray. They should now be properly tinted.
• The materials needed for a template should now display in the template window appropriately.
• The hero window should now behave more consistently. Items you’ve equipped should always show up in their appropriate spot. Previously they would occasional not show an icon even though they were equipped.
• Previously, tools would occasionally disappear from the hotbar when you clicked on them. This should now be fixed.
• Fixed a bug that could cause drag and drop to fail after recently dragging another item. It should behave now. Good dog!
• Previously, if you hit ‘/’ while the UI was hidden using Ctrl+F10, it was difficult to get the UI to come back. Now, it works as expected if you just press Ctrl+F10 again.
• The chat window should now properly reposition itself when changing resolution or window size. This fixes an issue where the window could have ended up off-screen with no way to get it back.
• Also fixed an issue where you the chat window could be moved off the screen purposely and then you couldn’t get it back. If you restart the client it should always move back on to screen.
• Trees on other people’s claims should no longer highlight when you have an axe equipped.
• Fixed the issues with deleting a claim owned by a character when that character was deleted. This was the cause of many “orphaned” claims out in the world.
• Re-enabled the delete character button on the character create screen.
• Fixed/Updated a large number of icons for items, props, materials and resources.
• Temporarily removed the Claim Group functionality from the claims window.
• Fixed an issue that was causing the game to use the wrong font in a number of the UI windows.
• There was an issue where it would report the wrong quantity of a material needed when using shaped blocks. It is now correct.
