EC Tunnel, Bring it back yes or no?

Cheech · #1 05-17-2010, 04:12 AM

I think East Commonlands/Gfay buy/sell area was a huge part of the classic experience. I'm sure this has come up many of times, but i wanted to see again what peoples thoughts are on it. I wish this was still in. Freeport seems to be the main area to meet up to sell stuff, but why can't we just get rid of auction and go back to the good old EC tunnel. Thoughts?

maybe cuz there isn't a fuckin bank anywhere nearby?

As much as Id love to see the old EC with 100+ people selling stuff I just dont think its possable on this server right now.

Even in NFP you dont see a huge amount of people selling stuff. Perhaps if global auction was taken out we would be forced to find a central meeting place, but I doubt that will happen.

delete banker in fp and place him into tunnel

that, and only that would FORCE people to sell in commons. anything else is just blahblah and wont happen.

protip: read the 20+ other threads on this exact same issue before you make a new one.

Personally I find that the lack of a bunch of people standing in a tunnel in an inexplicable location hawking their wares totally ruins my immersion and/or classic experience (pick which one offends you the most or go for both for twice the effect).

EC tunnel just won't work. Alot of people are bound in NFP, so they hang around there when lfg or just afk or whatever. Max people you'd have in EC at peak tiems would be maybe 20-40 people. That's at peak times, if your auction was zone specific there's not going to be a great amount people to see it, even in EC.

Only thing that will happen is people will start using the auction subforum more.

in kunark what's the prime trading area (best area to make a trade)? is it FV? i don't recall =.=

I don't see why we don't just put the bazaar in with nodes up to it from certain spots that makes sense, like gfay and wcom and feerrott. I know it's not classic but hey, not everything soe did was a bad decision. would make it sooooo much easier for everyone to A: get around and B: get things bought and sold.
