Forum Buy/sell section

Just 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

This will get added very soon. It's not terribly high on the priority list, but it's something that is easily taken care of. So look for the Buying/Selling thread soon.

Excellent, thank you very much.

Just out of intrest, what things are a priority? Would it be possible, if you have a spare moment of course (as i understand you are very busy!) to put a thread up about what things we can possibly expect in the future?

Some things have been posted already, but most things won't get a post until they are almost ready to be released.

i havent seen a postal service on here. if we had a postal mailing system on here, we could mail payment and mail back the product. its worked on 2 other shards i have been on, and as i was an alchemist on one of them, i was making good money with a vendor and mailing out products.
