Custom Notes, Books, Plaques, and more

imnotanother

For housing, it would be nice to have interactive notes, books, plaques, etc to place around your home.

These objects would allow you to customize the text. It could be a welcome message to your guest, a biography of the home owner, and request for crafted gear/help with a dungeon, a memorial to a lost friend, a declaration of love.

There could be many uses for these that would add a bit more personality when visiting individuals homes.

It would be nice to have a guest book as well.

I'd rather have storage as a priority to add to housing.

I would rather be able to place Trophies and cleaned stolen items around my house.

EQ2 had books you could write and even copy and sell to other players! I would love to have player written books!

+1 on stolen and fenced items. I also agree with the op, would be kinda cool. This is probably stemming from the memorial post yesterday.

I wish for that as well. Some of the items seem worthy of keeping.

Yes! I love this idea. I had posted about honoring a friend that had passed away and this would be super simple and easy to implement and be fun for other things as well! I approve of this idea

MrTibbs

It would be nice too @ZOS_RichLambert @ZOS_KaiSchober @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_GinaBruno if you could make trophy items placeable in homes instead of just vendor I got them...some of these are very cool!

*vendoring them.

Reading zone chat for five minutes makes me want to revoke author status from everybody for all time.

But I wouldn't be opposed to ZOS holding periodic, themed writing/design contests, similar to Tales of the Dead.

Winners could get a legendary quality manuscript of their work (shiny!), a Bard's Inkwell & Pen furnishing modeled to the contest's theme (more shiny!), and an allotment of crowns. ZOS could clean up Davin's Books in Shornhelm (with new Davin's locations added in AD and EP zones) and those could be a new hub for player-created short works.

Lots of room to work with. Horror stories. Cookbooks. Tales of the Master Angler.

(Although in retrospect, being stuck looking one zone chat for far too long while doing Master Angler probably qualifies as a horror story.)

And it's a fun way to avoid walking into a guildmate's house and finding such masterwork of Nirn as *** THA POLICE and 101 WAYS TO *** *** *** QUEEN AYRENN ***. Let's just not even.

Of course there will always be those that abuse it but I don't think we should rule out this fun idea just yet!! So many cool trophies that would be fun to put in the house and edit!
