The RolanMart

[FrankReynolds]

They ever implement this? Or just something that slipped into the background again

If they would make it possible to travel from city to city by using the circuit, it would be fantastic for bazaar etc.. Not only that, but the added traffic might actually get a few more people to try racing.

Sadly, I think less and less people are playing, so the need to alleviate congestion has sort of waned.

There are less in Upper Jeuno (120 ppl in zone, only about 50 bazaars). I always figures there were bazaars here so the would be picked up by the FFXI Bazaar website. Seems the chap running that site cancelled his subs back in Dec '11 though (shame ).

GuildWork does the bazaar database automatically for FFXIAH now. As long as someone checking your bazaar has GuildWork running, your current location and Bazaar contents/pricing are updated on FFXIAH. It covers all servers that way. Dec. 2011 is when they implemented that feature, IIRC.

On Quetz, people go to shop in upper jeuno, they craft in lower jeuno, and form parties in port jeuno. Don't really notice congestion or lag in any of these zones.

Is there ever a thread that tahn doesn't try to argue? Rolanmart needs to come back. So hard to find people selling actual stuff in their bazaar. It's usually crap like flame geodes or lvl 10 gear. So annoiying.

/sh hey dudes come check out my bazaar with a totally reasonable price on this item scaevola wants, conveniently located right over here at the guide stone, right next to literally 80 other people

I like the idea of a non-player bazaar system so I don't have to keep my computer running ffxi 24/7.
Oh and an increase in AH cap.

I'm thinking:

where? the mog house
how?

player with AH in mog house (logged in/out)
must select "Open Bazaar" option which locks him in the mog house til he closes it
searching player talks to moogle to warp him to "The Bazaar"
I'm thinking a zone just full of npc's with the player's names
zone: Fort Karugo-Narugo (there's unused teleports there. just lock the outside town part of the zone off)

This was a completely random thought i had while reading the thread.

We can call the system "Market Wards!"

And even without any Bazaars Jeuno would be laggy as hell because people are lonely and love standing next to Horst and Joachim and pretend they're their friends.

This made me laugh. Sure seems that way

On subject, I liked Rolanmart when it was around. It seemed pretty easy to browse all the Bazaars and it did seem less laggy to me o.O. I have to admit though, that with /yell now, it's nice to still be in Jeuno in case something interesting pops up.

[Alhanelem]

It's was not less laggy, and sure as hell was NOT easy to browse the 32894 bazaars all clumped in one spot. Leaving the city to brows bazaars was stupid, removing the tax and bringing people inside was the best thing ever to happen to Jeuno.

As a former Bismarck resident, I can confirm their fascination with terrible ideas.
