I am basically talking about the Instrument system from ArcheAge.

The system basically worked like this: You could get blank music sheets and write down notes on them. And if you then used the music sheet, your character would use its equiped instrument and play what was on the used music sheet.

Depending on the rarity of it, yu could write more notes down. Every Character could do this and it was really popular in my guild, we even had little concerts and a small group even started making their own songs, instead of copying existing ones.

I would love to see such a system in Ashes of Creation, I think it would really add to feeling at home in the world, when you could make your own music.

Heres a Video, not from me, not my Guild, but a good example of what the music system in ArcheAge was capable of.

    We don't know if such a system will make it. I think they've mentioned it once or twice, but there has been no follow up info.

    The Shawzin in Warframe is probably the best implementation of a musicinstrument in a game ever:

    I think it's probable Bards will be able to play instruments even outside of combat for entertainment purposes but not sure about other classes.

    Really? Hmm I couldn't place where I thought I heard they could but I guess I am wrong. I checked the wiki and didn't see anything about it. That's a shame.

    They should release a system similar to ocarina of time for it. That one is so simple that it probably take like 3 days to implement it. If they ever put it in though it should be bard only.
