Forum Buy/sell section
Posted: Thu Sep 08, 2011 7:25 amJust a quick suggestion. Would it be possible to make a section of the forum which would be used for buying / selling items? For example, i am looking at buying and selling a few items, but due to time differences (UK to USA) i find it hard to meet players when there is a massive time zone problem. I think that by implementing something like this, even if it somewhere players can put 'I have a vendor located at x location stocking x items', would help to increase the economy on the shard. I have not seen a single person buying or selling from another player in the time i have spent on the shard, making it pretty pointless if people are making craft characters. I may be wrong, and i know Mich has a couple of vendors, but there is never anything on them!
Failing this, the shard i used to play on had vendor stones. These were stones which had menus for finding items you needed, with a price, and the vendors location via co-ordinates.
Finally, how about an auction system? Either an in game auction system, held at a certain location, where players congregate and sell items under the watchful eye of one of the Admin/GMs. This could turn into a weekly event, where players bring their items, people sit on benches in a lovely designed house, and a GM will lock down an item, before carrying out bidding by players. Failing that, one done via stones where the item is listed for a price, and then players can just bid on the items over a number of days (days determined by the amount of gold paid).
I think that these three items could improve the economy of the shard, and hopefully might be a selling point for new players who are put off by the hunting side of the game. Hunters can farm the materials needed, crafters buy said items and make their wares, then sell back to other players on the shard for a profit.
These may not be great ideas, but i seem to find it difficult to see much of an economy within the game!
Also, if anybody has a 120 healing powerscroll, i would be very intrested in it
