ICansHasGlobalMarkets?
If we are too have regional servers, there should be one global market ward. Servers will run into items getting crafted and sold in markets during that servers regions prime time. I just think one of the pros to global server is a global economy. Not an economy revolving around that servers regional prime time for sales. Yay i can play with my friends cross seas through content finder, that is good. But can i buy and sell wares with them in markets?

I don't have so much of a problem with the regional servers outside of not having a global market. If the content finder is gonna work.

We dont need a global economy. Server economy will be just fine. You run the risk of having certain people or linkshells ruling the market for big time items. Imagine if we had a global economy in real life, china would be king and no one else would make profit but them. It's just not worth it.

Best Buy will will take their markup off the top, and then the rest of the money is going to go too japan/taiwan/china anyways since that's who Best Buy had too buy off of. Even if you bought an xbox 360 which is technically an american company, they still bought their processors for them from taiwan. And the plastic beads which are melted and injected into molds to make the casing are from china. -

I might not agreee with some people like Jynx who hate the idea of regional servers, but I at least basically understand where they come from.
But your "problem" makes no sense at all °-° -
09-19-2012, 08:05 AMJynxOh no...I'm going to probably make another hate list.Quote:

You don't need to worry about putting your stuff up at the end of the day and expecting nothing to sell during the night.
This kind of stuff turns into alot of lost capital due to your good moldering on your retainer during the downtimes of your region. -

09-19-2012, 08:42 AMAtomiskIf 90% of the servers population only jumps on during that regions prime time, what is the probability of my wares selling during that servers down time.Quote:

No, 1 really big reason.. One server could in theory control the global market, circulating alot of gil into thier server while the other servers lag behind. eventually the market controllers of that server would have accumulated so much wealth for thier server that stuff will be extremely high in prices and affordable on thier side while blocking off much of the items being affordable to the other servers.. just my thought

You can always farm up or craft stuff and sell it for the same price, no matter what server you are on.

09-19-2012, 02:14 PMAnakhu. It is just a bad idea, if it was a single world with everyone playing together it would be nice to have 1 centralized market.. but you just can't meld completely different worlds into one market. Some advance faster then others, this would only have serious negative impact and nothing really good out of it...Quote:

OMG guys. You don't understand.
I need global markets... The market wards are empty come 3 A.M. The only items to be had are on the bazaars of scrub crafters who didn't get a spot in the wards. I don't want to have to buy from them.
You totally have to listen. This is important. -
