Ave Empire!

Yesterday I actually realized one thing. Players dont trade. I mean they dont sell and buy things effectively. I tried to buy some equipment for level 11 warior..used..from some players that dont need it anymore. I had no success. The most answer I got was "We sell the old stuff to merchants". But why? I dont think thats the best choice. Its better for me to buy things cheaper then new stuff from more experienced player and also I thing that player will get better price from player then from a local merchant. I supposse that this was the point where NGD wants us to be. I dont want to judge if the new economy system is good or bad but I remember that in time when I was playing Ultima Online there was also only few times when I could effored new things. Mostly I traded with players. Whats your opinion?


p.s: I will buy Broad Sword for level 11

Yeah, the one thing Regnum kinda lacks is.... well trading

NGD tried to fix this a little by giving gold some value, but now it seems it has too much value, or to the point where no one trades they just keep thier gold.

Armours are easily bought, weapons aswell, if it was all only available from drops there would be tons of trading.

at least I know on Muspell they actually trade thing like monster loot, because some people collect it, and there was even a thing where get 50 lich dust or smthing like that, and you can get this.

I collect Magma Beetle Shells btw, and I buy them for alot, (I have 500 smthing atm XD)

If monsters loot could have other usage... I had an idea to use loot to create items. For example - u have a non magic lvl 50 weapon (bought from merchant, for example) and u use, lets say 100-200
specific loot items obtainable from high lvl mobs (u can use it with forge, for example) the weapon becomes special and gains random magical attrubutes. This would make trading a very meaningful game feature and give gold an important value (not just to repair ur items). Also collecting items would become easier, more friendly and convenient.

Problem is that game didnt have for many years trading system. You could have tons of gold, gold meaning was null, not even some special drops existed. Some superior drops and xym lamina bows. So people used on no economy but selling to merchant.
Later people started to gather drops and trade between themselves, item for item, gold wasnt part of it.
I think people need time to accept trading for gold after many years.
Also, when buying armor from someone, if its low on durability, you need then to count in repair cost too, not only buying price.

Just yesterday i gave my lvl26 armor knight set to some other lvl28 knight, because i dont see the sense of selling it for 5k gold if my own realmmates have to buy the stuff for 25k back from merchant. Its usally a gift from me to the first one suitebal class i see

I thought there's a thread about this already? "The Market Place"? Or is that thread restricted to RA only?

I once knew an aspiring clan leader who gives free stuff to new recruits. Gold including. But that was when Gold and everything else were abundant.

I'd still say getting into a clan is the best bet. They have banks and/or items that they can give new or low level members for free.

Youre wright..thats what I was afraid also...that when you add the repair cost to the used ones then its not so atractive anymore. So the issue is that NGD should lower the repair cost if they want a working economy with trading players? Probably I will have to do some calculation if the used weapon is still atractive even when repair costs are added.
