Tell me about it. I can't resist going to Limsa. It brings me back to first starting the game with that song. And the sea, and the people, and the atmospher, and the architecture. I love Limsa! Need to make a shirt

This is definitely a big improvement for buyers. However, I think people will still be reluctant to sell in LL or Grid because people will always search the Uldah market wards first.

Probably the best band-aid fix they could come up with using their current engine, but I do hope they have a fully-linked AH ready by the time 2.0 rolls around.

I actually can't wait to put all of my retainers in the LL markets where they belong. Not to mention, if they all have seperate search histories this will still allow for varying prices by city. All thats required then is compitition among cities with pricing.

well for all who wanted an AH and said that they were leaving because of that, now they dont have any excuses, i like this change but wont affect me that much, is good to know they are working in the right direction

Especially since the previous update already turned it into a general AH.

[Fear]

Great change but please in 2.0 have a fully blown AH and find some other use for Retainers (such as housing storage perhaps?)

[Aion]

this cant be right......the feature that people bitching from day 1???

[SirOleas]

Finally.
It's really about time.

Those two lines are basically the same, but seriously.
Thank freaking god they finally did it.

An improvement, to be sure, but it is still sad that the markets are still accessed separately. I think that's due to "server limitations", however.

The devs said in the past with current system they can't combine all the markets so we can't access one market to do all but I think this patch is temporary fix they found that works till 2.0. I think they tried their best for us on this one.

[VoltaAsura]

Sounds great!!

However, I see market crashes and/or emergency maint in the near future....

I just wonder if from this patch on, the market wards of LL and Grid will be as packed as the Ul'dah ones.

My problem is not a problem of being or not able to purchase things, is that I cannot sell them. This pushed me against playing a crafting job for now, but if will be able to set up my retainer no problem in any other city I'll be just as happy as if we finally got an AH.
