Could the Vendor areas on the public moongate be cleaned up a bit.   Some of the vendor ares are no longer maintained.  Some of the player malls are a poor reflection of the health of the Shard's economy, while others are well stocked.   Also would it be possible for the large Public Malls (trinsic, luna, the castle) to the listed before the player run vendor malls. 


Yes ill take a look and clean it all up asap

Agree. I've spent time to go through all vendors I managed to find. I would say only 15% of vendors are worth to keep. If I was admin I would think of significant vendor-place rent price increase or other rule to get rid of useless vendors.

How about one dedicated area to vendors, all vendors? Instead of like 10 gates, make one mall where all players put their vendors..
Also.. i've seen this system working on other shard... There was a search for items in player vendors.

Example:
You type [vendor that brings up a menu where you type for example "fortune" ... The system will then search items in vendors and tells you names of vendors that sells anything related to what you searched and price of that item. So you can see that vendor XX is selling Cap of Fortune for 100k, vendor YY is selling Legs of Fortune for 120k etc. And whats even better, we can add a description to an item that vendor is selling. So if i would want to search for a ring with Lower Reagent Cost, the name of item is only "ring".. that will not help me much.. But if player would add there description "LRC 10%" .. and i would search for "LRC" ... This system would then show me which vendor is selling this....

Basically, now we have to run and open all vendors every day to see if someone added something new. It would also help players as some kind of a price check. You could just search an item and look for average price that players is selling it for.

Just an idea =) I played a shard that had this feature and i loved it. Im not sure how hard it is to make this work =)

     I was a big fan of a global in game auction house. I'd make it cost a percentage of the items final sale price though. Gold sink for the win. Normally I'd not recommend such a system, but (and I'm guessing here) evo seems like the kind of place and player base that could do well with it. I would only charge a final fee though instead of a posting fee as to encourage players to post 'big' items. I don't think this system would take away from vendor malls, but I do feel that it would make it easier for players to sell those hard to sell, on display items. Plus it seems like the kind of thing Kane would excel at. The other shard owners would be jelly and Evo always needs more haters ;)

    On a side note, this is also a good way for new players (and returning vets) to see what the items they are collecting are worth, and a good way for them to make some cash since it gives them a way to reach every potential buyer all at once.

That is already in the works, however I do not intend to make any profit off of it.  - http://uoevolution.com/forum/index.php?topic=6950.0
