A new marketplace

[Falco_Easts]

Any chance of getting some sort of new marketplace/bazaar set up. Just seems wrong going to the pub to go shopping. I'm suprised those guys are still sober enough to give the right change.
How about a new bazaar with stalls with the vendors who now live in the Rusty Nail, it's own auctioneer and possibly a trading board. Similar set up to the auction house except you can post items you wish to trade and either leave the offers open or put specific items/plat amount in there. Maybe even a 3rd person trader so the people doing the trade don't have to be on at the same time.
Give the vendor's livers a break and get them out of the pub and into the fresh air!

I'd like to see an open-air market street, where you walk along outside to all the different vendors.

[Yeric]

Either way, Get them out of the Nail. Having them there isn't what I would expect from years of reading sword and scorcery novels. Maybe a black market type of broker left in the nail. By black market I mean some one who cannot be classified to what he will have for sale at any one time. A mystery meat shopping experience for the role players.

No....hey star!!

[Silverjade]

OH NO NOT BEL!!!

Muah! Ha Ha Ha Ha!....

Yeah the vendors won't be having drinks in the Tavern forever. We're anticipating putting them back out to re-populate the Marketplace at some point... after all, there's a lot of empty Marketplace stalls to fill!

[Qwijy]

My vote is for a new, instanced "QwijyMall". At the center of the mall would be your local QwijyMart (or Devv's Hagglemart, etc) vendor area, non-exclusive to specific vendors (empty stalls for player-run vendors). Along the outside would be one vendor for each group of items, and nothing would be left out... for example, the potion vendor will sell Lesser Restoration potions.

For a very nice touch, there should be a bind point and a teleport location for QwijyMall. And, perhaps, a house teleporter like we have in House J/K/P/D?

Now, if you REALLY wanted to please the masses, allow for macros so QwijyMart can be run 24/7.

But I like getting all the bennies of shopping in the tavern. Changing mem'ing the spell you just bought, switching others and clickie resets while shipping

You've never read a book where the towns folk got chased out of their primary location? That's some boring novels.

I'm sure there's a backstory how the owner of the rusty nail is a retired member of the TWELVE. He actually rescued the marketplace vendors (group teleport while fending off Devils) and told them they could stay in his inn. Dunno about you... but if I was a marketplace vendor... and a tavern inn keep who had just saved me from a devil invasion said I could operate my store in the back of his tavern... with his protection. I'd take it.

I've read something similar in a novel or too. I'm happy with our (DDO's) dynamic, if slowly unfolding, marketplace saga.

Yeah mod 8 risia next week according to Tolero's signature assuming they get hirelings worked out.. woot..

[muffinlad]

I was hoping that they were going to use the main marketplace location as guild housing, but I am guessing that is still back burnered for some time.

It would be nice to have an "open air" Inn, and market place, so you can sell off your excess, change out your spells, buy supplies and then head off to adventure without having to change instances.

The one really nice thing about where the vendors are now is that they don't reset much. There's actually stuff to buy from them!

[JD2134]

Hay i like the vendors in the inn, i can top off hp or mana while selling stuff to them, instead of running all over that big marketplace tent. Im glad the devils blow it up

If they are put in the main market instance (to fill the empty open-air stalls), they would reset even less thank in the nail.

Ok, add my vote for the vendors in the tavern, I LOVE that! And they're all close together too, and you can refresh your clickies while you sell! And then die to get back to meridia!

(Now, if you guys were to change the general town areas, (possibly only with a silver flame favor blessing and at a slower rate than a tavern) to refresh clickies and drain away negative levels like a tavern does, add a teleport to the new market area, leave the vendors closely huddled together, fix greater teleport to work outside dungeon instances, and add meridia as a destination for greater teleport, then yes, I'd love to see a new marketplace place )



(And while I'm dreaming, maybe add 1 representative from each vendor as a sell-only interface to the portable hole, and then change the exit from the portable hole into an actual teleporting portal, and all the scrolls, potions, scribing implements, wands, etc available at other vendors, and... )

Hey a new revamped Marketplace / Bazzar Tent could even include dare i say it........Guild Banks

Ahhhhh I can but dream.....

[Venar]

Seriously, i do enjoy beeing ble to rest while shopping.
Still hope to find an AH guy inside a rest area.

My bank guy is currently in the Necropolis.
Best AH/Bank/Mailbox/Tavern distance in the game.
