EC and Gfay were both pretty heavy trade zones actually. EC because you had a big ass easy to find area near a town available to both evils and good aligned races, both wizard and druid portals within 1 zone, and no guards/npcs to agro.

Regardless of where it was on whatever server you played on it's EC on blue and we're trying to attract blue players.

Trade HAS to be facilitated to bring blue players. Trade alone would bring a lot of blues because their game is different.

Making money transactions relatively safe would also help a lot. Figuring out how to do that is a bit trickier.

just make a "vault" zone. Within the Vault, there is a banker, and maybe a merchant who sells nothing. That's it. Can't pvp, can't bind, no spells can be cast, no items clicked. Could turn on the /auction to be global, and ppl interested could make a separate window because I imagine it could get quite spammy. Also, ppl inside the vault can't /ooc. Only auction.

Maybe instead of there just being a locked door in freeport bank, clicking on the door would zone you into the Vault. Have access to the vault at only one location for extra pvp lulz. if only 1 access point, a guild may bind there to try and control access to the vault. make north freeport un-bindable as well. NFP has multiple zonelines, which is good. OR just make access from like 2 different zones, one evil town and one good town. this would cut down on trying to control access, but i like the idea of there only being 1 way in.

Heck, could even have the vault close every night and open every day ("in game" day, come on get IMMERSED ppl). If the vault's closed, and you're inside, you can't click out either! (Yea, there might be ppl waiting for you at 8 am on the other side)

we need the VAULT! would be a fun feature imo. and a reason for ppl to travel to old world once velious is out. or for ease of access could just put the entrance somewhere in velious. either way.

Or place a vault in the EC tunnel and disable PVP in EC?

Blue manages to maintain a healthy low/mid level game, and part of the reason is the slow xp imo...



Some trading happened in EC because the darkies based their trade in/around Neriak. But EC tunnel is a dumb place for trade with no bank :P



To build a low/mid level community we need to start somewhere. If people are flying through their levels we won't have much chance of this happening. It's not really a gamebreaker for me either way, I just hope the devs carefully considered the low end game when hammering out the specific numbers. Whatever the outcome, the group xp bonus will be tons better than where we were at before the xp nerf.



Very interesting idea! Still, is this really necessary? Implementing non-pvp zones is very Luclin. Some people have lost large amounts of platinum in Rivervale I know, but is this such a common occurrence that we must go to drastic measures like introducing a safe zone? Somehow people would exploit this just like they do with zone plugging.

Maybe it would help if they could somehow freeze hp/mana regen, or place rez effects on them when they zoned back into the real world.

Tldr but wu'd bang

EC was never a trade zone lol. Who would trade somewhere that doesn't even have a bank?? Makes no sense!

Gfay was ofc the classic trade zone, but turning the pvp off in any zone would be bad.

EC was the trade zone on Cazic Thule.
