[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 9405044, member: 6796468"] It was definitely a thing last year, yup! I never responded because I got hung up on the question you posed about the concerns on two points. 1) "Approved" 3pp materials, which would imply that some material is 'better' than others which you didn't want to do and I wholeheartedly support, since you'd need to read over material and weigh in on whether it was appropriate. 2) "Open Submission" where users just put anything they want on there for everyone's use. While more egalitarian, it leaves you open to issues of liability or perceived support for things you and your company might not approve of. (Not that anyone I know of in the 3pp community would do such a thing, but the 'Time to Penis' factor has to be weighed. Which is an MMO Game Design mantra measured in milliseconds before someone draws a penis in a game where you can move objects, paint, or otherwise alter elements of the game world or design a logo for any purpose.) And after being hung up on that question I forgot to respond... for months. Ultimately I don't think there is a really solid answer. But if you open up the interface to the community, whether full or 3pp specific, I promise the Esper will be available to everyone. And so will the Champion, Gunslinger, Sentinel, and Warcaster at some point after Martial Artistry's release. [/QUOTE]
