I've seen the 'early trader account' idea brought up on Discord, but haven't seen Secrets engage the idea as best as I can tell since it is a custom change and not classic or even classic like. It's something TAKP players are used to due to what era they are in, but would be a new thing for p99 players. The majority of Old School EQ players are currently playing p99 or off in other Emu/games. This is compared with the smaller population playing on TAKP. Considering some of the concerns of p99 players (ie mousewheel) might lead to higher level of popularity of the server than considering the concerns of TAKP players at least at first. This is my guess and not based on any Secrets communication. Dev input when it does show up is more important and revealing than my observations on this one.
It may be technically a pain to have Bazaar open without Nexus/Luclin entry points prior to Luclin release than it would seem. On discord EC was suggested as an alternative to Bazaar for a trader account, but I am unsure of feasibility of making a custom change like this and how code intensive it is. This would create a future headache of having to transfer those traders to Bazaar from EC when it opens. Again I haven't seen Secrets response on this one. Most likely scenario is players on Quarm will trade similar to p99 without a Bazaar until Luclin is released unless Secrets says otherwise.
Personally I would be a fan of this idea, but it doesn't appear to be top priority re: getting the server off the ground based on Secrets communications so far.
