Banker in Korthos

[Yvonnel-1]

Im not sure if the point has come up yet (i guess so) why we dont have a banker in korthos village - it would take so much of the running to harbor and back after every reincarnation!

I just dont see a reason, why we shouldnt get one there


Whats your thoughts on it?

take port to keep, walk the very short distance to the bank there, gear up, teleport back.

Also, since I want guild buffs (xp buff), I go to my airship anyhow.

Sure .. put one there I guess? doesn't matter, won't hurt .. but also not really needed since KOTB.

Or be super mega efficient by having 2 box accounts, one in korthos one at bank and use bracelet of friends...

I actually do not think anyone has ever done that lmfao

Oh dindnt know there was a porter to elsewhere but harbor there

Still give us an airship access as well

The reason why there is no bank or mail on Khorthos island is to drive away gold and item sellers from the game. It is also why there is a limit to how much plat a character on a free account can carry.

It simply makes it too much work for the sellers to be active on DDO.

KOTB means what plz - im new to the game

Keep on the Borderlands. It's another low level area that has got a bank there as well.

This is exactly why I have zero issues with needing to zone out of Korthos to gear up after TR.

Ok that makes sense to me, but why no ship access? -is it also because of these "sellers" and dont bring them an easy access to korthos too?

I am OK with there being no mail in Korthos but a banker there might mean that "vets" are sticking around snowy side and could run with new players. Right now I immediately head out of snowy side and get to harbor do a quick re-equip maybe eat a handful of stones to get to 2 and then jump back over if I am going to run Korthos but I probably do 60% - 75% of the time.

I haven't seen an item / gold farmer in DDO for well over a decade so I am not sure that is a relevant issue, we aren't generally big enough to make it worth anyone's time to invest heavily enough in the game to then go through and sell stuff for cash. The DM's are very quick to delete and ban people who violate these kinds of rules afterall.

Personally, I think snowy Korthos should stay isolated from access to the outside world because it’s main purpose is to teach new players the basic mechanics of the game. Allowing a bunch of goons with a bunch of past lives to gear up and tear the place apart completely ruins that concept. You’re not helping new players by killing things for them, as a matter of fact you’re hindering their growth.

I think its more because they dont want new players worrying about guilds yet, just learn the base game. New players, of course, wont have a guild, they'll see the airship access, try it, get denied, and then get confused about what its for and how to use it.

snowy korthos is a starter area, a tutorial level, sort of. that's also why there are 2 korthos, snowy and sunny. i find it good this way.

From a story standpoint Korthos is isolate by the dragon attack. It's a bootstrap area to teach the basics.
