Title: A new way to Sell items
Post by: Murrjok on August 25, 2010, 06:30:02 pm
THE BAZAAR!!! Unheard of!!


But Seriously it works, and for FG/CG items it would be nice, Maybe Artisan seals? Dairy Spoons for RoA? Who knows the possibilities!

Get a Satchel and start selling YAYYAYAYAYAYPIGNAS!!!

would be nice to see the bazaar active on a emu server, however there just isnt enough items to sell alot of items that are worth anything are ND.

however am starting to wonder if hunter would make the t1 aug peices dropable that would boost sells a bit

would be nice if people just used /auc to sell things instead of /ooc.

There are plenty of items that can be sold in the baz fg/cg items, i just today took a chance when i saw someone say in occ that someone was selling something in there to check it out and was able to buy some kd it was nice not having to spam ooc with wanting to buy just for 1 item.

Would be nice if there was an NPC that you could hand in all the FG/CG tradeable items into and in return receive a token that you could sell off rather than each item at a time... Kinda like how you use to have to hand in bags to an NPC to be able to sell them since you can't put containers in containers. Then either make the tokens tradeable for the items back, or make the FG/CG NPC's able to receive the token and take them straight to the 'Trakanon's Idol' part of the quest.

Oh thats a good idea, I like that one alot then people could just buy the tokens for there alts or new friends that just started playing.

I suggested bazaar like on my first day. Loveed the selling system, but the economy is just not big enough to keep bazaar up and running IMO

Take a couple items from every tier and make them droppable IMO. Make a decent economy and THEN put the bazaar out there so it stays maintained. I actually really like the idea of making a couple things droppable in each tier because you can farm the plat/whatever it takes to trade/get a few (one or two maybe) pieces of the next tier armor/weapons to help you break into said next tier.


And it would be fun to see super old RoA gear/FG items for large platinum amounts :)

Sounds great on paper, but Hunter's already working on an AFK script to bump out the folks just standing around.  A bunch of toons in the Bazaar selling would only add to the server overpopulation.

This AFK script will possibly limited to zones he chooses. The AFK " Script " i dont think can be server wide. Just whatever he places the script in.

True, but I wasn't referring to whether or not the code would affect the bazaar, but rather the contradiction of deliberately using a zone to keep more toons logged in when we're already dealing with lag from overpopulation.

Quoted for truth

Didn't even really think about that. Excellent point. Still think the bazaar is a great idea though, epecially the making a couple items droppable in each tier.

But the server population would need to be dealt with first. The 6am daily restart would certainly help w/ the bazaar population though.

         Hello Ez just wanted to say after using the bazaar for 2 days as Zzellergin i have had a overly joyous response from people enjoying not only the convenience of the bazaar but enjoying the experience the bazaar brought to live. To all those that support this growth with your plats or taking up arms and making a trader yourself I for one Thank you. Now lets get back to what we love most the slaughter of 100's of 1000's of mobs and tacos.  :P


:--NOTE my two lines of chat are in AUCTION chat now and u can turn that channle off in your filters under options i hope this helps. =) I also only post once every 30 mins once a round of spawns are done in my instances due to  having new items for sell. =)----*

Well, I'm glad to hear that the bazaar has been working out for you in your plat making endeavors, but Zzellergin's constant spamming of two full chat lines in OOC has single handedly made me turn that channel off.  SOD isn't letting me use /ignore, so I will have to figure out which .ini file to edit.

Selling stuff in OOC is fine, but a wall of the same text every minute is overkill, imo.

I like the idea of giving my stuff to an NPC to sell for me,set my prices and go play ! I always hated the bazaar cause ya had to have a bazzar mule,which takes up an instance of EQ and one of my logins.

Just checked it out... what a maze.

I prefer the original bazaar where you could just walk down the isle and buy stuff. Confusing as heck in there.

2 people selling when I went in... very cool to get fg stuff so easy.

I've been seeing a couple people start using the bazaar and due to the afk booting script in the major zone hubs it doesn't seem to be hurting the population influx at all. I logged on for a couple minutes this morning and I actually saw no one at the Surefall soulbinder.


Title: Re: A new way to Sell items
Post by: sohami on August 27, 2010, 11:28:03 am
....

the bazaar actually FUNCTIONS?

I've been told it doesn't. HERESY!

      Aye indeed the bazaar dose work and work well at that the bazaar dose. I would encourage more to use the bazaar. *Please tho if your going to sell items in the bazaar use the /auc (auction channle) to sell items and don't spam more then once in a 15/30 min span. Also i only run instances as to not steal items from people progressing. Just a few tips to keep farmers on the good side of the community. Tho i have to say sorry to all those that were looking for easy FG and CG items this weekend couldn't find much time to play  :(  . Enjoy the weekend i should be back at it monday.  :P

        Aye the old school bazaar was the best. New one is very confusing which means I spent alot of time showing people how to get to the red or blue side and most of them get stuck at the teleport so here is a heads up just have to click on it.  :P


     *You need a Trader's Satchel to set up a trader in the bazaar. These can be found on Merchant Tekrama in the bazaar. He is located in the circle room with all the hallways leading away from the room. The room is also the first room you come to when you go left from zone in.  Just drop your items in the Trader's Satchel then click on the red or blue portal to zone up. Then stand on one of the wooden platforms on the ground and type /trade. A window will come up for you to set your prices. Hit begin trade and then your all set.
Enjoy  ;D
