Editing (section) Decorating Houses 0 You are not logged in. ==The Housing Leaderboards== In 2012 a new way to show off your house and to visit the houses of other players was added. Players can choose to publish their home on the Housing Leaderboards so that others can visit it and rate it in the categories of Creativity and Style. To learn more about the interface and other uses for it that go beyond decorating alone, see the [[Housing & Leaderboards]]. ===Publishing a House=== You can publish your home at any time by following these steps: #Right-click on the (inside) front door of your house #Choose the Access option from the list to open the housing window #Click on Publish icon (it looks like a book and quill pen) #Choose a name that will catch the interest of other players; for example "my house" doesn't describe what they might see, but "A druid's garden" might. #The interface will ask you to take a picture. Move to a spot you like most and use your mouse wheel to scroll all the way in if you want the photo in first-person perspective. Click the Take Picture button. #Click Publish to complete the process. Once a house is published, you can not move any items in it, unless you unpublish it. To do this follow fist 3 steps above. ===Visiting Houses on the Housing Leaderboards=== Using the Housing Leaderboard is easy. Click on the EQ2 button in your game interface (it looks like the EQ2 logo) and choose Housing Leaderboards from the list. This will open the Housing Leaderboards window. Houses published by players are listed in the following categories: *'''Hall of Fame''' houses have won awards based on player ratings. *'''Small Homes''' lists houses with 2 rooms or less, like the [[Personal Dojo]] [[Housing|prestige home]]. *'''Medium Homes''' lists houses with 3-4 rooms. *'''Large Homes''' lists houses with 6 rooms or more. In addition to looking at houses by Category, a drop-down arrow in the middle of the Housing Leaderboards window allows you to sort by Creativity awards (recent or overall), Style awards (recent of overall), and Newly Published houses. Once you select a house from the list, click on the Visit button in the Housing Leaderboards window. Doing so will automatically teleport your character to the house. When you're ready to leave, you can repeat the process to visit more homes or you can exit the house. Exiting a house you visited via the Housing Leaderboards will send you back to the last location you were at; in other words, this is system can not be used as a way to get around using normal travel methods in [[Norrath]]. ===Rating Houses=== How you choose to rate a house was simplified in early 2012. Instead of a 5 star system, you simply click a "like" button if you appreciate the Creativity and Style of the decor. When a house has the most likes in one of those two designations in its category (small, medium, large) it will be moved the the Hall of Fame category. In addition the '''owner''' of the house will get a special trophy to display in the house. To learn more about the various awards associated with having a house that wins see the [[Housing & Leaderboards Achievements]] page.
