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.

It was like this in classic as well. Why play on a CLASSIC server and only pick and choose things you want because they are easier / liked more by you?

My reply was serious and wasn't a rant or flame.

Just because something is convenient doesn't mean it should be implemented. I'm all for the EC/Gfay trade back. Back in 1999 and 2000 there were 100-120 people in EC majority of the time.

Saturday Bazaar Nights had close to 200+

Somehow people sold/traded items then, I'm certain they can do it now.

PoK/bazaar killed the game and came about when a lot of the problems were introduced.

@ Karsten...

Hell no. Bazaar is a horrible, horrible idea and you should slap yourself for even offering the possibility.

Pros: Ease of selling items.
Cons: Price gouging. Less interaction among players. Elimination of bargaining and/or trading of items.
