Gfay for market!

[Haurgus]

Back in my classic days of EQ on Xegony, Greater faydark was the zone where people would auction their items instead of East Commons. Now, not many of you have the ingame sounds enabled these days i guess but the eqmidi's playing up in the woodelven treecity was very soothing to listen too as you were browsing for certain items or selling them.

Not only was it a great place for trading to take place but also for people leveling up a character there it was a great and mystical place. With orc camps around leading up to Crushbone, Unrest beeing somewhat close and lets not forget castle Mistmoore it had many oppertunities for people to level.

I say PACK UP and lets MOVE the market to Gfay! Don't you all like a change of scenery?!

[Kiwaukee]

Nothing close for evils.

Change is bad.

Etc.

[Llodd]

Evils would have to get wolf form. Just another way for druids to profiteer ;)

[Haurgus]

Would also increase business for "taxi" services (not a bad thing). Evils can stand by the POD lift and indeed get a wolf form for banking.

Gfay has a bank in zone, EC doesnt.

[quido]

Gfay sucks

[Kender]

tree city is horribly annoying

tree city is horribly annoying

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^!!!!!

[Krankor]

Not centralized. Not neutral. EC still has banks 1 zone away in 2 directions for everyone but Iksar. People not "level appropriate" would hunt the orcs to extinction, cutting off a nice source of newbie exp.

Saying that an increase in business for taxi services is one sided. Sounds more like druids would just want to charge more for ports, now that everyone needs them more so than before.

You're a druid aren't you? AREN'T YOU?

Hang on. Xegony was the first true server right?

Shits as classic as can be!

(correct me if I'm wrong)

[Ryba]

I played on Xegony too. Back then I assumed every server used gfay as a trade hub. A big, dark forest is way cooler to trade in than a brown, perfectly rectangular tunnel. Also, Banker Willaen is easily tricked, and banking with your mule is much more convenient.

I support relocation to gfay! Just convince the power traders and maybe the rest will follow.

[fastboy21]

was faymart all the way on xev.

[Numbers_]

It was Gfay on Cazic Thule for at least the first month or two, then it moved to EC. We even had bazaars every other week I think, before EC became the established place.

Once we had one outside of Kaladim.

[Excidium]

Xev had both EC and Gfay with the latter being the more popular one.

^ this. Norrath 101. That whole subcontinent is a blight on Norrath, and as soon as I've finished ruining my lands, I fully intend on ruining theirs. Just you wait.

[Reubin]

gBay was the trade spot on Povar too. EC has been the spot on p99 for over 3 years now? It isn't ever going to change. It definitely is more convenient for evils not to have to track down a wolf form to go to the bank. The tradeoff is everyone has to run a couple of zones to bank. I think it is a fair trade.

[Vandy]

On Mith Marr the trading zone was North Freport the evils used the tunnels.

[Joyelle]

We used the EC Tunnel on Karana, just how it is here :)

[JackFlash]

Fay? No way.....

[Blasted]

NORTH FREEPORT

[Cecily]

I'd so much rather it be in Gfay. I love my hometown. Was EC on Bertox.

[Aaron]

Gfay has a bank in zone, EC doesnt.

By "increase business for taxi services" you also mean "increase annoyance and expense for everyone wanting to buy/sell."

[Nuggie]

We had this discussion before. EC, NFP, or Gfay.

EC won out.

[Leddy]

Gfay is a terrible zone for trading. Shit's dark.

[jcr4990]

EC is superior in a lot of ways. Only way Gfay is really any better is just cause of peoples nostalgia/personal preference for how the zone looks and dumb stuff like music. If the music is that big of a deal I'm sure you can find it on youtube or download it somewhere and play it in the background while in EC. Centralized location with vendors/banks for all races except iksar = mo betta

[Somekid123]

Im all for G-Fay, I know it wont happen though :(

[Ghordo]

EC tunnel forever.

[Anesthia]

Roll into the EC tunnel, put a pea soup fog filter on your monitor, and put the following in the background.

Enjoy!

[Uteunayr]

Long live the EC Tunnel.

If we moved to Gfay, what would Shady and Bubar do?

[Thulack]

[webrunner5]

I was on Torvo Server and that was EC tunnel. I F'ing hate the tree city.

[Juevento]

Gfay was the place to be if you were a light race on Vallon. I have no earthly idea what the darkies did...

[Growlers]

Gfay was the OG market on bristlebane

[rattrap17]

GFay was always the place to be on Solusek Ro back in the good old days.

[Kushie]

North freeport on my old server.

[phobus]

Don't you all like a change of scenery?!

Err, it's 2013 and we're playing classic Everquest.

...

:cool:

[Wotsirb401]

on povar it was gfay spires

[Kika Maslyaka]

in the early days Gfay was a significant market on any server due to large number of newbies starting there (3 races of elves, dwarves, gnomes), thought secondary to EC in sheer number of sales and higher end items.

I used to do a fair share sales in Qeynos/Halas area during Velious era - selling to newbies-teens + some of potential higher end customers among people camping IGs.
Being druid helped a lot when working as traveling salesman.

[Wizerud]

Gfay was the main trading hub on Tallon Zek. Was always fun when a bunch of evils ported into the wizard spires. But on a non-PvP server it doesn't make much sense. The only reason why GFay was the main trading hub was it was too much hassle for the evils to reach the bank where most people hung out.

[kaev]

Ship already sailed, we got the lame server EC Tunnel market here, Oh well.

[Dragonmist]

I think with all the knowledge of all the items,and camps in EQ as of 2013 or even back in 2005 people just know what sells they farm it and sell it and no one really cares EC Tunnel or some pit in BFE they would be just as content. If iIwas going to be hardcore I would just Auction my items in Gfay,EC,and Qeynos Hills/Everfrost on 3 different mules/traders then everyones happy except for the groaning old ghouls trolling about the forums...

[Quylein]

I'm a Gfay fan myself I sell there anyhow... I always hated EC and Freeport... Kelethin will always be in my heart as the best City in any MMO... it's where I broke my MMO viginity

[Llodd]

Wheres the godamn poll? I feel like gfay might actually win this shit.

[SamwiseRed]

should be runnyeye imp since there is a bank.

change EC to gfay because one server was too noob to be like the rest and join EC tunnel?? seems like the Metric system vs Imperial units.

[citizen1080]

Just add gfay music to EC and we have the best of both worlds

[gotrocks]

not only do evils and goods have a place to bank near ec, but iksars can hop over to hhk to bank.

ec far superior.

gfay isnt going to happen.

[Ephi]

Tarew Marr was EC. Tarew Marr was right.

[Telin]

Well if we're to role play here, perhaps evil races shouldn't trade with good races anyway. Good races could all go to g'fay and evils can find their own place.

My server, Saryrn, did all trading in north Freeport. I liked that more since the bank was right there for good races and evils could easily run through and go behind that jade place where there are no guards.

[Silverain]

Tunare was Fay, always. And on Tunare, and even here on p99, my Iksar is Warmly to Felwithe, Kaladim and Kelethin, so banking as an evil is just a matter of a bit of work. Easily done.

[iRFNA]

Why not kithicor and bank in high keep?

[Estolcles]

ON Fennin Ro, we used NFP and GFay.

EC is just a lot easier.

[Spc_Scott]

That was sweet man! Well done!

[Kika Maslyaka]

IMHO - everyone who wants to sell in Gfay - should simply move to Gfay. If you represent a significant portion of traders - the market (buyers) will move with you. Or at least a decent portion of.
If not - well, you can boycott EC just out of spite ;)

[cowjosh]

This has been brought up before, but: NFP.

Bank in zone, evils can use tunnels.

Then again, coming from Mith Marr, I see NFP as "classic" but I know that it varied by server and so in all likelihood it will remain EC on P99.

[Kevynne]

On the sleeper we used gray as well.
Wtb poll.

[Atmas]

On TZ it was Gbay. Direct wiz port there and a Druid port pretty close. Actually has a few banks in the area. As far as faction goes, Gfay has some issues for darks but anyone who does a soulfire is KoS to half of Freeport.

[Kevynne]

Tunare was Fay, always. And on Tunare, and even here on p99, my Iksar is Warmly to Felwithe, Kaladim and Kelethin, so banking as an evil is just a matter of a bit of work. Easily done.

Tunare and Fay fo SHO. Faydwer is tunares land anyways IMO

[Gwence]

it should be toxxulia forest

you have erudin for good, paineel for bad


win win

WIN WIN WIN


I will be in toxx from now on auctioning shit

[NGHpnotiq]

Shits not classic

This is a great idea! Relocation to toxx 2013! Contact your local congressmen and share your feelings!

[xexbis0]

Gfay was the place to be if you were a light race on Vallon. I have no earthly idea what the darkies did...

We mainly used OT for trading and then would create elves to watch the gfay auctions.

[xexbis0]

not only do evils and goods have a place to bank near ec, but iksars can hop over to hhk to bank.

It's not a hop on over to HHK from EC for one. For two, there's no garauntee someone in HHK didnt kill the banker. Third, encumbered running through kith at night is a terrible idea.

[Temin]

On Mith Marr the trading zone was North Freport the evils used the tunnels.

Yes. It should be North Freeport as it was on Mith Marr. I miss those days of walking ontop of the city walls and buildings when sitting there auctioning. Having a auction zone with no banker there is mind bending

[Kevynne]

False.
Evil Erudites still do not like trolls, ogres, iksars, and dark elves.
But the faction work is easy anyways.
I support toxx2013

[Stinkum]

Music inside the North Freeport bank is 100x better than the Greater Faydark music.

[Reapin]

Would be cool to see the occasional person fall to their death.

[Sarius]

Music inside the North Freeport bank is 100x better than the Greater Faydark music.

Kelethin has the best music in the game. Fux wrong witchu?

[Kevynne]

Kelethin has the best music in the game. Fux wrong witchu?

You mean gnomeregan.

[khanable]

Ec as well. I remember hitting all 3 places when looking for items.

[Clark]

Prefer EC

[webrunner5]

On Torvo it was EC. And I would still vote EC.
