EverQuest Traders
I had to add this. This is one of the silliest things still left in EQ. If you’ve never played EQ, let me explain how selling works in EverQuest. First, you zone into the Bazaar. From there, you grab some Trader’s Satchels to stuff your loot in. You run to the appropriate selling area and type in /trader. You add your prices and voila, you’re selling. Ok, so that’s pretty easy right? What’s the problem?
Problem
You have to be logged in the whole time you’re selling! Yes, that’s right. Leave the computer on all day all night, whatever. Just to sell stuff. If you want to actually play, you can’t sell unless you have a separate account. Quite simply, that’s annoying.
Solution
All right, I’ll be honest, the solution is obvious. Give us offline trading! EQ2 has it. WoW has it. Figure it out. It can’t be that hard. At launch EQ2 didn’t have offline trading, now it does. Implementing it must not be too difficult. We need it. It’s a terrible, terrible part of the game. Although new players are getting rare, anytime the selling system is explained to them, they always react the same way; “You mean I have to stay logged in the whole time?!” It’s silly and needs to die. /rant off
