5.0 and the Marketboard sales

[RareItems]

I watched the Fanfest video where it shows you can finally select which world you want to go to on the fly and change it back and forth in minutes as long as it's within your Datacenter.

Does that mean every marketboard will be linked together in 5.0? Datacenter shared Economy? o.o

This is a really cool question I hope they'll answer it for you today at the PLL.

I get the feeling we'll know more about this stuff maybe at EU, more likely at JP. They don't really go into a lot of details until much closer to expac day - but this is something that I know is worrying a lot of people so it would be nice to get a yes/no answer. They don't have to explain the whole thing, just reassure us that they've actually given thought to all the ways this could be terrible for a server.

That would destroy so much. Visors should be heavily restricted from MB and housing. The hunt thing is already a major issue, since hunt trains cause enough problems as it is.

Knowing SE, they will not allow trading on other worlds, including MB purchases or sales, for example you cannot send items or Gil to anyone on your Friend List that is on another world.


Of course, they could link all the worlds on the DC to one universal Market Board, but i doubt that will happen. Imagine if you could purchase Land on another World.


I would expect the minimum interactions mentioned in the stream, which are good enough, but they could always surprise, but this is SE, who will not even allow you to Friend your alt characters, share your house with alts etc

They should prohibit mb access when visiting another world. I'm on a med sized world and it would break the economy if ppl could just go to balmung and buy things like shinryu scales and other high priced items for "pennies" and bring them back to sell or craft with.

They clarified today. All MB's are still world specific, but you can visit a world and buy from their MB while there. You cannot however put anything up for sale while visiting and you access to retainers is restricted.

[Reiryuu]

They said in the live letter you cannot SELL on another world, but you CAN BUY items and resell them on your home world. They seem to be OK with prices eventually becoming regulated on the entire data center, so if you don't like that idea... you should probably start making some noise.

[Dyvid]

I'm hope such things would be locked out for visiting players.

[Final-Fantasy]

We can buy items from other worlds, just can't sell on another world.
