Default NFP > EC

This is my official petition to move the P99 auction grounds from East Commons to North Freeport.

I'm not sure how much interest is out there, and this may have been attempted before, but NFP beats the hell out of EC..mainly because there's a bank there. Running from the bank to the tunnel while 900000 lbs overweight can be pretty miserable. I realize this doesn't solve the problem for evil races but it's only 2 extra zones away for a smaller percentage of characters.

Mainly though, there's just better places to hangout while you auction your wares. I was reminded of this while browsing some sweet old school screenshots in this thread:

Props to everyone in those pics and the people who posted them!

Anyway, hear me out. It wouldn't be tough to do - just pick a date and move your ass. I think if we can get Bob on-board the rest will follow suit [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

That's where it was before they removed serverwide chat channels. EC tunnels is the place now because it's "nostalgic" and it's closest to a "good" city (freeport) and an evil city, (neriak).

firstly, what would evil races do?

secondly, I need not remind anyone that this so called "community" doesn't exactly welcome new ideas with open arms. In my younger years I tried to revolutionize trading but I was ridiculed and harassed off the server. (http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9574)

gluck with your dream though

First, thanks for not booing loudly. I guess you know what that feels like.

Second, the sewers are easy to navigate for evil toons and not much farther than EC from a bank.

While I'm 100% on-board with your opinion, it's not constructive and you sound like a douche by not offering even a cursory reason why you think this.

OP:
Here's why I agree with the knuckle-dragger I quoted:
1) evil races have no place to vendor crap without even more zoning required.
2) Newbs don't get buffs. Love it or hate it, its EQ culture man. A griffon or Shin Ree at orc 1 can be a group imploder if there aren't a bunch of people capable of stomping both.
3) NFP is tiny. The tunnel is crowded enough. 90 people cammed into the courtyard near the bank is miserable.
4) Banking as an ogre or troll sucks. the doors are tiny and its hard to get more than one large race hidden from LoS from that asshole guard in the corner.
5) 10x the NPCs to train to the bazaar. No, it doesn't happen as much as it used to, but imagine if the zone held 15 SGT Slates, and 5-6 Rinna Lightshadows. Griefing Galore.

There are many reasons NFP is an inferior auction zone to EC. Just because a handful of servers forced it to work doesn't make it better.

Edit: Yeah I admit I'm biased, neither of my characters are welcome in North Freeport. I make it work on the necro because he's small and behind the banker is never crowded. The troll goes to Neriak. Hanging out invis, or confined to a tiny area with no guards is not how I want to auction stuff.

Personally? Greater Faydark > all. Easy quest to get faction with bankers/guards and lots of newbies to buff. Plus, you can actually port straight to the auction zone, and safely for all races (Druids are KoS to most evils, correct?)

Pro tip for casters making a big purchase: (Assuming they won't just run to bank with you). Bind next to Bob (or other seller). Run to bank. Get pp. Gate. No slow run.

No, because I can't sit in NFP spamming my lev cloak and sitting really really close to Kimmie Potpie. So no...

Neither GFAY or NFP will work for evil races. This proposal only benefits the tiny handful of folks carrying a lot of plat. It's not like there are 20K sales happening every 30 seconds.
