Re: Loki's Post - Market Place in Uruga is probably best if its:


On Topic:

I think the lag will not make the Pro points worth it... not only are all the shops brought to one place, but all the ppl looking for shops are all going to clutter to one corner of the entire server.

As it is, a lot of people have trouble navigating through the Elderine Town due to lag (which I know a lot of them Shift Z) and this is probably why you suggest to eliminate the shops in other town, and put them all in Market place...

but if we bring all the shops in 1 place, those people will never be able to look for what they need in Roumen.

Better would be isolated marketplaces attached to each village similar to new Rouman

^I agree with Loki...

The pros sounds great, and the cons dont to sound bad.
I love the town teleportation ideas.

[Kyrillos]

While centralizing shops to one location in each town would be fantastic, the con would be the terrible lag in that location. The Roumen market seems to be somewhat small, but if you went to Elderine, and this is my problem with events, the amount of people crammed into a small area is overwhelming.

Suggestion:

1 Market Place in Roumen and Uruga, where Loki and the current one in Roumen are

2 Market Places in Elderine, One in the Upper Right hand corner, and one kinda between there and MT gate. It consolodates the market, and attempts to make the market places user freindly.

3. Try to keep the spawn points away from the market, as that would cause more lag.

I, for one, already have somewhat of a trouble running through Elderine as it is, lag at storage is bad enough, without having to deal with all of those shops and spawns near the center of Elderine when people die/warp.

I think they should just add a separate market place in each city instead of just one where everyone goes.

I mean, I love it when I see a blue mushroom because they have to be >50 to use them, and they normally have better items, but what about the little nooblets, if they see an item they really want that is say... 50s, then they will just be wasting their time to get it when someone of a higher level who gets 50s from selling all their drops buys it before the nooblets have the chance to even glance at it for a while!

I hope that makes sense...

At first I thought this was a good idea, but then I realized that there are places besides town where people "need" to vend.

For example, in a kq, you can't trade or whatever, so people set up shops to give others scrolls if they need them, or things like that.

There are other "little" reasons, like showing somebody stats on gear or whatever without opening a trade, but that's not very important, but I imagine the KQ one might be a little bit.

A good example of a market thingy, well..I thought holic had a pretty nice one.

Basically, you could only set up shop in towns, and in each town there was a little market npc guy who would warp you to a map where you could set up vending there as well, which opened up for a lot more choices and economy since there were warping npcs in each town, but the big thing wiht that was because the gamed used a lot of channels, so every shop from every channel was added.

But eh, I think the shrooms in town would even out if you guys just added in the higher level town >___> then people would migrate there, and it woudl become more even, etc.

^I can't think of any situation where you would either 1) Not be able to show stats by trading/vending.

Yeah, if this is implemented, you wouldn't be able to vend to show stats in Roumen except in the marketplace but you would still be able to do it in KQs. The only shops that would be affected would be those directly open in the cities.

I definitely think all vendors should be restricted to just the Marketplace. The Marketplace in Roumen is NOT effective at the moment because it isn't restricted and everybody is outside the marketplace by the stairs because that is just a better location than inside.

on the one hand I favor having all shops in concentrated places, especially when I'm looking for weapon/armor sets. On the other hand I sometimes wish there were shops in KQ and grind spots.
