Title: Trading
Post by Outsider on 07/12/03 at 11:34:46

dont know if it has been suggested yet

Maybe make it so that u can instead of '/sell halberd/130000'
make a command that says '/buy halberd/130000'. And anyone selling something can look on the site and instantly sell something to someone who has put it up that hes looking for something. (Replace the auction sites with these, cuz they suck :P).

Like most of my ideas, ppl dont know what im talking about so if someone will just explain it a little better ;D

so you are trying to say is that the staff needs to create a specific code similar to the /sell halberd/130000, but instead of /sell you want it to become /buy halberd/130000. also you are saying that the people who are selling the halberd could go on the site and see how many people wants to buy a hally for a certain price. for instance....

_____________________________________________________
|| wicked_killa wants to buy hally for || 130,000 ||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and the people who is selling it can be like hey he want to buy a hally the same price i want to sell it... so he can sell it??? am i anywhere close to you idea's???

No you are far off.

He means.

/buy Halberd/130000

And if there is a Halberd on there he will be able to buy it without looking. I think. Or If someone puts one up its automatically his if he put /buy halberd/130000

just go to the site page on halberds and see what's available

Yes but we're talking the other way around, instead of the buyer too see whats for sale, make it so that the seller can see whats in demand.

yes i understand... i've been on the nighmist selling weapons and notice 8 halberd are being sold... i don't think someone is going to be buy 8 hallys in one day.... and once you /sell the hally... you can never get it back unless you pay for it....

i have an idea that will improve the trade.... when the person who want to buy the item and marks down his price..... the seller that wants to sell the item want to be sure he will get his money so here my idea...... when the [player] want to mark down his price for a hally for instance... he would do /buy halberd/130000...... but he must have 130k on him.... so when he hits ENTER it will transfer that info and the money to the site.... it would be a lot easier.... and if the [player] doesn't want a hally he should be able to type in his username and password to remove his name and price off the site... if you guys don't understand me.. i will try to put it in better words next time

Yeah, I know the feeling... havent personally been on the forum for months myself ::) ::)

It may increase trade and such like but I just don't see as it is really needed as importantly as such other ideas.

If i need gold quick i look on the trading site, see someone who will offer enough for my item and instantly sell it.

How about this instead of using the website at all just scratch it cus well first you have to go to a bank or a pub to use it any how so what I perpose is this every bank you can go up or some direction other then the one you entered and you would see what looks like the web site except it would be in button forum

you would see

Armors
Weapons
Other Equipment
Items

And once you click on a buttion lets say weapons it would bring up 1 of each weapon that is for sale at the cheapest price avalable and would not show any others, Thus enabling the person to just be in game while buying it and would be close to the bank so they only need to go one sqare to deposit gold, Got all that?

Instead of using banks. How about the staff create a Pawn Shop or Trading Post. Put one in every other city so people won't have to go far just to buy a weapon/armor/items/other equipment. But hey, brilliant idea for the buttons.

Didn't really read all the messages, so I apologize if someone has already said this ;D

When you go to the 'trading' menu, there could be a new section called 'wanted'. That would show you what items people are interested in, and how much they want to pay etc. Example:

Mephistroth wants to buy a halberd, and is willing to pay 120k for it. Enter in the user name and password of your character, and the gold and halberd will be swapped (make sure to have it in your inventory).

Would be a good idea I think, not everyone looks at the forum who sells stuff, and it seems relatively clear what you have to do and how ;D

Yup thats what i said in the first post, but ppl are slowly changing the suggestion.

Title: Re: Trading
Post by Mephistroth on 07/15/03 at 19:21:29

Changing it in a good way or bad?

Title: Re: Trading
Post by Outsider on 07/15/03 at 19:23:47

They're now suggesting a shop ingame, so u wont have to visit the site anymore, so they kinda ignored my/your idea now.

Title: Re: Trading
Post by sayadin on 07/16/03 at 11:20:52

but hey... its still a brilliant idea Outsider... after all... I want to be the first one to buy something good at a low price and sometime my internet screws up on me when i go to visit websites...
