IS THERE NO TRADING SYSTEM???

[zarni]

I have to post my thread here, since there is no trade topic - is trading that uninteresting in the game????

the merchants are paying the same price for every good (qualitylevel * 10 bugs) no matter if its basic, choice or supreme. 5 quality 20 basic goods have the same price as 1 supreme rare quality 100 good

It is boring to hunt or to harvest, if there is no trading system.
...and trading with crafted items via region chat like on an oriental market is not making fun all the time...

i have heard, that there will be some commisionars or trading through guild houses - are they allready existing?
If there is a system on supply and demand, the prices of best quality materials will go up and it will make sence to trade and find them.
On the other hand, you can find missing best quality ressis for witch you may be interested in paying an extraordinary high price

and another VERY VERY BAD thing is, that the burro can take 500.000 weight, but only about 60 different items. and similar items dont stack on each other !!!!! - after harvesting or hunting two times that dammend animal is full of cargo!!!! USELESSSS

If the systems goes on like this, the materials are only interesting for one's fabrication (espacially when you are not in a guild) and for me the game becomes boring soon... Since I get the same money for every material i find and for every mob i bash

Hopefully soon they will have the npc merchants online, part of Patch 1 1 to 2 weeks they said from the test server. It has just been put on the test server so fingers crossed.

Here's the notes for it:

October 14, 2004
The Advanced Test Server (ATS) is up and running with a version of Patch 1!
# But what about Patch 1 more precisely? Player Vendors (NPCs you can offer your goods for sale through)
# Theme Music
# Magician Glove
# Mounts for the GMs
# Tuning and balance for magic users – less expensive spells, a refund for certain spells, will need to redo some purchases & stanzas to adjust.
The world becomes a more dangerous place. Creatures have their own agendas. Be careful. They just got a bit better organized!

Only Pre Orders Customers and the Elder of Atys can access ATS.
In order to play on ATS, you need to have a specific client. It will not work with your regular SoR client.
In a nutshell:
# Download http://patch2.nevrax.com/ryzom_test.exe (roughly 1.14 Go)
# launch ryzom_test.exe, choose a destination folder (make sure you have enough free space)
# Then double click on client_ryzom_rd.exe in the folder you extracted it to
# Enter your login and password
# Select Advanced Test Server et voilà!
1-2 weeks after landing on the advanced test server – Patch 1 goes live!

Also slated for that same patch is a stacking/unstacking system. I for one am less than patiently waiting for that patch. I am sure it won't fix EVERYTHING, but it has the potential to fix alot.
