Vendor Mall Portal - Scare crow - 03-11-2012

Hello,

I suggest that we create a "Vendor Mall."

As it seems that players are scared to leave Britain and access the exterior Vendor Mall .. why not just add a Vendor Mall portal in the Casino "Accessible to weveryone in the world .. reds.. blues .. greys) That way the reds and blues can sell/buy whatever items are required whenever they require them. It is too much of a hassle having to locate vendors and not breing able to buy things if you're red... or evren blue in some cases ..

Suggestion: Just create a portal/Pad in the Casino to a cenralized mall... a nice BIG custom mall that we can place vendors in and buy/sell/trade things. We need a centralized trading system aside from the "auction idea." This server is not filled with ... Pks... There are over 100 players that won't leave a safely guarded town. Why not just make this accessuible to everyone without having them run out of town. IT would definately diversify the economy and increase the importance of trading.

If we want to make PVP a part of this then we can have it so that players can ONLY recall once they leave the mall and the exit is NON-Guarded. There are ways around this and it encourages several things.

Thoughts ... comments ...

It's bad enough that there is a vendor mall in a guarded zone now you want it in a safe zone?

I would much rather nuke the current vendor mall and force players to spread vendors around the world so people cant just stay in britain and have everything they need right there.

Of course people don't want to go to an exterior vendor mall, more often than not they'll be killed.

If you go red you don't get access to guarded towns. That's the downside to killing players whenever you see them. If you want ease of access to the vendor mall in guardzones dont do it.

You can't have everything.

Also, people leave town all the time, just cos you can't find them doesn't mean they aren't...

I'm just trying to think of a way to encourage the whole Trading system .. I always go by the vendor mall and it's so dead ... I literally have no idea what else to suggest. Hopefully this original post will just spark some other ideas from players and we can all come to a great agreement/idea. It's not being used at all.. Whethe it's safe or not .. I'm thinking of it Trading-wise ... trust me ... I WISH there were more people in un-guarded territories but in the past when i've suggested this ... people just flamed me because I'm Red so.. just trying a different approach this time.

Well i agree that currently trading is a bit slow but making it more centralized in a safe zone(casino) would not help.

It is your choice to be a pk and as such you will have a harder time to interact with other players. If you are looking for friendly interactions then you should not go around and kill people that dont want to fight. However this is off topic.


The only way i see to increase trading between players is to make it harder to acquire the items you need by yourself. Because why would anyone buy something that they can either craft themselves or go hunt for and quickly get?

Making it harder to get items clashes with the idea that getting pvp sets is supposed to be easy to get. The way to counter this would be to make drops from monsters more rare, and crafting the mid range armors and weapons slightly easier. Primarily the weapons are of concern here as there simply are none that can be put in this category.
Scrolls and potions should also be looked at. Either making them less useful so that only 2-3 types of scrolls are used and focus are on those or by making the skills much much harder to train. May seem counter intuitive to make the skills harder but it makes trading for the items more inviting instead of just macroing the skill yourself.

While the drop rate changes would be easy to implement the changes in crafting difficulty would not be. Particularly changing the speed/price of macroing a skill to GM.

i like it to have a Mall there red and blue can meet up and trade, tumb up !

Yea, I would say most of the lack of trading problem is based on the fact that there are only a small amount of things worth crafting that sell. It would be nice to see crafting being more relevant given how hard it is to raise.

Yea I agree with that. It would be nice to have a bunch of craftable items in order to increase trading and value of certain items.

I really love the idea. A safe zone via the casino that gives access to a vendor mall. So all players could place their vendors in there. It's kinda lame for red players to try to have a vendor in a bad spot where no one will come to see your goods. I hope this suggestion will see the light!

God dammit, no more safe zones!

^This

not only that but its ugly and takes up way too much space for that central location. You might as well change the name from buymore to walmart.

Ugly? Clearly you have no taste, lol
The current vendor mall will stay where it is for now.
