I think he was more on the buyer side of having to sit and wait to see if someone might be selling what you're looking for at a reasonable price. I could be wrong but sitting here all day rather than playing kinda sucks. Hell some people used to like the Bazaar because they could leave it up while they're at work.

True, BUUUTTT an auction house is better in every way. Want to sell items while you are at work? Auction house does it better. No leaving your comp on for hours. No setting up your character again after a disconnect or the power goes out or windows updates that restart your comp...etc. The Bazaar was shit. And when this guy tries to sell something in the bazaar he will change his tune very quickly. Not to mention on live it was a ploy to get people to pay for another account so they could play and sell at the same time. It was BS.

I can't argue with that at all. I agree 110%, if we could have some sort of AH i'd love it. Its not "classic" but I'm willing to enjoy quality of life changes.

Swish, I <3 your gifs, and I think you have identified a very real problem that a lot of people can agree on. I even like the idea of the "EC bazaar", and once Velious is done and the dev teams turns their sites on quality custom content, I nominate putting the "EC bazaar" at the top of the list.

All that being said, I think you have a snowball's chance in hell of getting any kind of bazaar implemented here before Velious (and all of the post-Velious patches) are complete. It's just too contrary to the core purpose of the server: Classic Everquest.

I'm aware of that... but something needs to be done to slow down the spam and stop people climbing over each other's auctions to be at the front. Impose a 20-30 second minimum gap between using public channels in EC during peak hours, or when the EC population goes over a certain number, that's gotta be a short-term fix [You must be logged in to view images.

Yeah, that is the problem. They will spam even more lol. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] But Swish does have a point. Something need to be done. Imagine if we get 2,000 people on here. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
