Trade market
 

recently, i have seen my realm chat spamed with some trading announce.
the numbers of Website to trade items are growing up.
Does NGD have nothing to do with ?
I thing NGD could provide a specific slot in our inventory to put items we want to trade.
all could be show in this website.

Could be awesome.

While they are at it they might as well throw up a jabber type server or something and tie it directly to our accounts so we have a seperate friends list/IM Client out of game.

Allow trading through that so you don't have to log on and waste additional game server resources to give or trade for an item. Add a seperate link on the home page for an item trader based on Server, then Realm.

Also if our friends aren't on, we don't have to tie up 2 minutes of server resources to find that out. Should cut down on server resource tie up and might help with some lag, the client would be inactive while the game is running and active when the game is not.

Probably less development on them since they could just modify a pre-existing architecture for IM Server/Client and incorporate RO into it. Also this website is already tied into our accounts so posts for trading through it would also be less development.

If this is ever incorporated NGD throw me a bone.

and there should be added a "Trade" chat tab to the existing ones, where everyone could announce their trades without spamming realm/general chat.

I think there should be a users market NPC in every city, or something similar. A place where you can give your items to the NPC and set prices for them. Then anyone can buy it and you get gold. There should probably be a time limit so old crappy items can't be on that list for ages.

A bit more advanced would be to support auctions. Then you don't have to worry too much about what price to set. Most important about auctions is that you need to prevent last second bidding which results in crappy selling prices. This is simply done by extending the auction time limit when a bid is made last minute.

And then what, you got more gold. What to spend it on?

Repair costs and arrows. They're very expensive.

agree
 

Much of good ideas. I also think that now that the invasion are done..trading should be the first issue NGD should focus on.
