Selling and waiting ...

General Discussion Started Last reply 36 posts
Have you ever sat in Giran/Dion/Aden with your char trying to sell stuff to afford a good weapon/Armor etc and you really aint doing anything else?
Sitting and watching tv just to snear alitle on the moniter to see if anything is sold.. and suddenly you see that a new grey chat message have come up and you think you have sold something, and you get up from the sofa just to see that it said..
"You have been playing for a veeeeery long time bla bla bla "
and you really just wanna sell the stuff so you can go on playing but you just have to wait sooo dame long?
And the hours go by slowly one by one...
I know I am not alone in this you all know the pain :D
I mostly just set up shop before i goto bed, then just shut off the monitor.
I try to only sell when I'm afk.. sleep, work, etc, etc.

anyhow.. yeah.. you think you sold something but nada! It's even worse when you setup to sell and know you have the lowest price, or the only one for sale in town.. your shop title has the item in it, you have a good spot where it's easy to find you.. and the thing doesn't sell for like a **** week..

It's depressing when you wake up and nothing has sold, though =(.

And then you go watch an hour worth of anime and come back to find out that still, nothing has sold. Then you cry yourself to sleep and when you wake up again, still, nothing has sold. Then you /wrist and when you come back from the hospital you find out that you got disconnected 5 minutes after you were put into the ambulance. Then you find the nearest blunt object and bash your brains in.

Did I go a little too far? :eek:

Made me laugh.. espically the " Diconnect after 5 min part " as it`s so true.. *sniffles* :eek:
Whats worse is that Gameguard blocks many other games (heroes 5, Supreme Commander, Spellforce 2, etc.), so you can't even play on the same machine as you're selling unless you're doing something illegal either RL (pirated games) or ingame (not using official client).

Either way, you're screwed.
LOL reminds me something ... last time I refused to install original Splinter cell because of that stupid StarForce ... it's sad I have to play "patched" versions because I do not want to screw my computer even more (gameguard is enough thank you).

"You have been playing blahblah" yes, that's common.
And last chronicle also "Demonic Sword Zariche's owner has logged into Town of Goddard region" spam, too.

ditto :) What's funny though is forgetting (and leaving the sound on) and in the morning wandering around going. . where is that sound coming from?????

lol
but seriously guys if you want a fast sell you have to lower your prices

Greetings,


I hear that (http://lineage2.stratics.com/content/gallery/comics/l2grind/index.php?img=l2grind018.jpg)



ROFL nice one.

This sometimes happens to me. The cure to boredom while selling is in this thread. (http://boards.lineage2.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=general&Number=800965)

Not typing all that crap up again.

But best mantra for selling in L2 is : Sell if you don't feel like playing.

Have Fun ! ™

Yeah this economy system is really... ok i'll stop :p
A watched shop never sells. It's true.
One thing I'm going to miss, probably within one day of getting restarted with Lineage II (starting tonight), is the Auction House feature of other games. I really do wish Lineage II had an AH system. However, the system in L2 is what it is.

As others mentioned, its all about overnight AFK selling for me.

I have to agree. I really miss the AH style of WoW, and even the player house vendors in DAoC. /findprivatestore needs a bit of work methinks lol
I prefer the L2 system over other games, because it gives the towns some life.

There are a couple things they need to do for it though.. make some way to set up shop without logging into the game. Through the website would be the best. Some type of thin client would be second best.

I love the flea market feel of shopping in L2.

I hate the flea market feel, I inevitably buy something at high price, to find it a few steps away much cheaper.

It's a mathemagician's nightmare.

If you have a Korean L2 account you can view your characters and chat ingame from their "PlayNC" website o.o

So I guess it should be possible in some way!

Without being logged in ?
Meaning we could sell stuff without the PC turned on ?
That would be a good step in the right direction, yes...
But then they'll be even more sitting dwarves everywhere... Hmm...

have you seen their giran?

its like 10x as populated during their slow times than anything NA ever sees at our peak hours.
Made a sell shop with a bunch of things. Come back 5 minutes later, stand up, recheck shop. Oops, was selling a +10 of something at +0 price. THAT WAS MY PERSONAL WEAPON!!!! Luckily no one bought it and I change items. Five minutes later the +0 sells.

That's not really worse than Giran on Teon ...
Yup same as Teon.Their letters are bigger though so you feel like there are more ppl in.

Aye i second this motion on NA servers.
its maybe slightly more than gustin
difference is i actually see other classes there besides dorfs and as a general rule if you see a light elf selling in giran on my server you can bet they are selling soul ore as A crys

I try to only sell when I'm afk.. sleep, work, sex, etc, etc. (ok well sometimes not afk for sex..)




ewwwwwwww -- :o :o money grubbing dorf I assume
