Hello everyone.
I suggest to organize a new place, where people can sell and buy items. All traders usually prefer Giran, but Giran is not infinite. Maybe, we can create a good place in Dion? There is a nice and cute square there. Or in Oren, there's a lot of place there... So, decide. And tell, what you think about it.
a good thing is to see people in a town (empty ones are sooo sad) the only problem is that many shops blocks entrance and/or walkways... but if devs put a "non shoppable zone"...
When I started this game, Gludio and Giran were the best marketplaces. Sometime between then and now, everyplace was dead except Giran. Now you see many more. Its just the flow of the economy and the flow of new people to this game.
Regardless of lowering the resolution, there should be designated No-Sell zones in giran simply for the fact that you can't even get up the steps to the shop. I don't think I've met a single person who hasn't complained about this.
At least, we can distibute our characters not only in one part of Giran. Giran is big. But everyone trades only at one side. Sit at the free places. Will be easier to find.
I remember my first few trips to giran...it was almost completely empty, save for the group of people I was wandering around with. What I find sad is that gludio is so quiet now, used to at least have a dozen or so shops for cheap ng or low d for the newbs, now they all stay in dion it seems.
I agree on the spread it out a bit notion, within giran that is. If people are using the findprivatestore feature it doesnt matter where your lil self sits. Spreading out saves the headache of getting stuck. However spreading it across more towns would be a bit expensive for your average window shopper.
Gludin has stores now instead of Gludio, because with the nerf to zombies as easy fodder for both mages and archers, the ruins have become nigh abandoned. They're what used to attract people to Gludio. :)
I like the idea of non-sell zones in Giran, it's a good idea, because no matter the lag or anything, I truly agree it's more difficult than it needs to be to travel "through" the people.
But in my opinion all we really need is one 'big' market. Gludin works as a decent low level market, Dion as a decent mid-level market, and then we also have Aden as decently populated. But what I like most, is the people that have began to populate the Monster Derby. Credit to aliaslilhelper to making a 1a craft shop there, and others for selling low priced shots.
I would hope NCsoft does a good revamp on the market system, to something more organized, but hey what we have now is what it will be at the very least till Chronicle V. And while we're here I think it's better to have markets in bulks around places, then competition will run down the prices in the areas.
