Anyone liking the new Roumen?
 

I don't think it made a difference, I see many stores in the middle of the road in Roumen. There are more stores in the middle of the road then in that Market Place.

i hate it

I do notice a decrease in the number of stores around and about.

But if they have this marketplace, then they need to implement it for the whole map. Some people are actually using the marketplace but some people have set up shop elsewhere. What's the point of the marketplace if people can set up shop just 10 "feet" outside the marketplace.

Yes, it will be a pain for those people who like to set up a store to buy petals near the flowers or SBL by the gate to FoT (like me) but if they have this marketplace, they should use it properly.

I shouldn't have to guess where all the stores are.

I don't even go to Roumen. And my alt just stays near the Storage Lady.

Though, I think it looks nice.

I'm rather neutral on the new map. It basically only added space to relocate the vending that occurred on the upper level of Rouman and didn't really add new NPC's or access to any new map area so - eheh.



When the new area opened I set my alt up in there to buy mats and in 24-hrs only got about 12 pieces. Opposed to where I was set up at on the upper level of Old Rouman where I could get upward of 250 pieces in 24-hrs. So I moved out to the Old Rouman area that still allows vending and in the next 24-hrs was able to buy about 150 pieces. Still not as well as what I was able to buy in my original spot on the upper level, but better than in the marketplace of the new area.

It's in my best interest to vend where the traffic is, and the traffic was not going into the new area since they could find what they were looking for (to buy or sell) in the Old Rouman lower level, so until vending is blocked in ALL areas of Old Rouman, or the New Rouman Marketplace catches on better (whichever comes first) I will vend where I am able to get the best hits on my shop.



You don't have to guess. There is really not any more places to look than before, it is just that the upper level of Old Rouman is relocated to the Marketplace area of New Rouman. It use to be lower level shopping (area 1) & upper level shopping (area 2) and now it is lower level shopping (area 1) and lower level marketplace shopping (area 2). Still just 2 areas.

well for me, i have horrid lag, and when they made the new part of the map, it seemed to decrease the amount of people in 1 spot, which really helps me.

For instance: when i had just downloaded the patch and ported to roumen, i thought the server had gone down or something becuz there weren't any ppl around the upper part of roumen... i could actually see the whole running cycle... >.>
i think the new area helps reduce lag...

there's a new roumeN? anyone care to post a screenshot?

New Roumen ftl. Didnt change anything. The Market Place is empty and they took out the trees...I liked the trees.

The only thing I like is not having to walk all the way to Sand Beach past the Tides entrance. Much more convenient.

Same here. D:

I'm indifferent to it :|
