Suggestion: Library

[PlagueParade.7942]

I like that we have books that we can look over and over but they're taking up a lot of space and we'll most likely get more of them so why not make a library that condenses them all in one book.

[Fatemaster.3590]

What I wouldn't mind is if after we unlock a book, we can access a place in our home instance where we can browse.

[Ashantara.8731]

I like the idea!

[Endless Soul.5178]

It's been suggested many, many times, and I hope it keeps getting suggested until we get a library to keep all these lore books.

[Faeyas.2816]

Or a bookcase storage in our home instance would also work. Right click "Send to bookcase" and then just go to home instance to open and read all the books you have.

We need something to store our dozens of books to store them all :

• a libray item,
• a library in our home instance,
• a library hero tab.

Absolutely signed. Asked for something like this the other week, and it's not the first time I've seen this suggestion. All those books need a loving home, and where better currently than our home instance?

[Tyncale.1629]

Signed. Seems like the Home Instance is the ideal place for this, that particular instance needs all the love it can get. (i.e. reasons for being there at all). I feel that the Home instance never fully realized, i.e. a place that is a reflection of a persons journey through the game.

It should have shelves with the books we discovered, it should have trophies, plaques listing certain achievements, statues, a couple of caged animals that we caught, rangers could have a Pen with a few creatures, there should be random NPC's popping up that you have done the Events for and such.

There is some of that, but nearly not enough. Eventually we should get personal housing that we can decorate. I guess Anet is also more interested in Guildhouses now. But we can hope. :)

If only there was an instanced area that already keeps a ton of books, staffed with lots of NPCs, preferably close to a major hub like Lion's Arch... like the Durmand Priory? Even if you're not a member, there could certainly be a "donation wing" where the Commander gives all the research he found to the Priory which could later be browsed at his or her convenience.My one problem is that I still have the Delaqua book that came from completing Dragon Bash, and it plays the introductary cutscene for Marjory (and Kas, to a lesser degree). There's no good way to store that short of in my bank or my mule character.

I would like a home instance or city library, but the lore team need to create hundreds of books to put in or it will be redundant. Think of Elder Scrolls lore books, both in number and content. Probably very hard work is needed to do such thing.

[The Greyhawk.9107]

Sure, why not. If nothing else it'd free up storage space..
