What good if furniture?Follow

I am an EQ vet, but an EQ2 noob. I have an apartment with a table, mirror, bulletin board, and a newly purchased bookcase. I know the bulletin board is for trading and such... cool. But what is the rest of the furniture for?

I thought I could store stuff on the bookcase which is why I bought it, but I can't (or have not figured out how to do it yet). I don't know if I am going to have people over to sit at my TABLE and play some Texas Hold'em under the light of the CHANDELIER, then check ourselves out in the MIRROR before for we go back out to kill stuff again. And if that is not the case... what is the furniture for?

Please help to enlighten an EQ2 noob.

There's a rumor that certain rare furniture placed in an "expensive" house or apt which you might buy in the future will lower the cost of it by upping your "status". Many player artisans make furniture to advance skills and end up keeping it (each time you make a new thing u get an exp bonus - so there is a good reason to make an elm chair, an elm bookcase, a nightstand etc. once each).

Me and my bf live together in-game, and we are working hard to decorate our apartment^^ We hope to move into a new, bigger place soon when we get the money. If no one comes to your room, then yes, there is not a whole lot of reason to dress it up just yet. It is kinda nice, though, to be able to invite people over to your pad to hang out and talk. Plus, if you arrange the furniture just so, it can be like playing a Mario game in there, bouncing all over the walls, platform to platform ^^
