Project 1999 Marketplace

This is no different than a bazaar

There is already a website that covers item prices.. http://auction.goonquest.com/

Not classic. Thumbs down.

I had run similar projects in other games - the real challenge is getting people to use it. In games where the server population was 3000 maybe 15-20 people would stop in - most of them were plat farmers I'm sure.

The concept is great but I find people are generally to lazy and wouldn't be bothered.

Not the same idea at all?

People didn't post stuff for sale on a ton of sites like Allakhazam? Lol, please.

This is probably the biggest problem, but it's also the biggest solution. Once you entice a good amount of people into it, the people who do not like it will either be forced to use it or be left out. I've got a couple ideas on how to bring people in.

Oh hi.

I guess that's why I don't understand the need.

Because a forum isn't the best way to organize what you have for sale, especially when people rarely update their posts. It's also kind of silly to have to force bump your posts every day.

I'm simply offering a more structured and functional version of that forum, yes.

Oh, by the way, that forum wasn't in classic either. :roll eyes:
