Bazaar on blue?

Sucks to say this but with only 30-50 people or less in ec on the weekend how are we going to buy/sell items on blue now? Might be time to enable the bazaar for those of us that still have stuff they want to accomplish on blue and don't want to start over. Sad times..

I'd suggest using the EC tunnel forum and be open to checking private messages for buyers and sellers. Yeah, I know it's not as easy but it's going to be a while until things move back to normal.

Are you going to ask for PoK books if you can't find a dial now too? Use the forums and discord if you gotta, damn.

Actually, one thing players on Blue could do is create an IRC channel that runs 24/7 for people to buy and sell things. The big issue would be chat moderation so it doesn't become a corrupted mess but it would allow a more Real Time availability of items. Failing that, I guess a Discord post channel might work too.

After the deep power grinds in green there will be some people doing ec auctions in second box. Now it's an all out focus on mega lvls

The bazaar ruined EQ economy, but I do understand where you are coming from. As long as the EC tunnel remains the place to park your merchant I wouldn’t be completely opposed. I don’t imagine this is the area that p99 devs want to devote their time to though.

Yeah something like this would be good I think at least until the population on blue recovers if it ever does.

How did Bazaar ruin the economy? It was much easier for me to undercut everyone when stuff was listed, but that's not the real point.

If Bazaar was here, you can do a quick search to see what's available, instead of wasting hours of time waiting to buy something that never comes up for sale.
