Market / Lack of TM issue

[DarkOdin]

Hi there,

A quick suggestion on how to alleviate crowding in the marketplace, this isn't a replacement for the trust merchant (looking at another post, getting the TM in isn't high on the priority list) but this will only take a few minutes to implement.

Why not make a few marketplaces, seperate them into categories, ie:

Ores/Crafting mats
Gems/Runes/Stones
Items
Books/Benes/Misc

Now, you might argue this would encourage people to make more stall chars but the server can handle it so I don't see that being a problem, this will make it easier to find what you want in less than 30 mins and also easier to sell. Perhaps we could have a poll on which items should be grouped together.

On a side note; can the colour of pets be changed on the minimap as they are currently red which is a little irritating.

Thanks.

It wont work. All market needs is a bigger map. If i want to see PLAT ORE 12, Deva, Dragon Slayer and an Evil Slayer Orb, I will need 4 chars. Then you need to distribute the items to each char depending on which section of the market it will go in. Will take ages just to set up selling **** let alone actually selling.

True, but we could have a "any" marketplace. There are many stalls selling one type of item, IE, ores or runes, at least taking these out would help reduce the spamfest that is the current marketplace. It won't affect the server performance so I don't see why it shouldn't be implemented, we can't force people into selling things in the right places but it will make it easier for people buying/selling a particular thing

You are ofc right to mentio it but this subject been done over and over with lots of good ideas and we got told yes something will be done. Theres lots of other threads and posts and ideas discussed. DO a search and read all about it

Another idea would be to copy the map multiple times, and re-script all the market npc's. for example, which marketplace do you wish to tele to, marketplace 1,2,3 etc.

Another idea would be just to code in a search function...

Player types,

@SearchItem DragonSlayer

List of players with a store selling dragon slayer would be returned, or their coordinates, should be easy to code in?

people could also stop making retarded stalls about seeing people to msg whoever cos thats just filling the place up even more, it was funny at first now its just plain annoying.

If you remove TM usercount will drop below 50 and the illusion will be over...

Its the elephant in the room
