The economy on dead servers is a problem but also there is not enough supply and demand to make the in game trading posts that interesting.
Imagine if we could have a cross server trading post where all 30k active players during peek time had access to sell and buy stuff. Instead we are limited on half decent servers to only 1400 other players and on dead servers less than 50 players.
Think of Eve Online a single shard market place with 40k active players and the market is booming with a large number of players just playing the economy game. That would be awesome to see here in New World.
The market could also benefit from some sale/buy stats such as
- How many units of the item you are looking at have sold in the last 24 hours and 7 days (allow people the stats to find popular resources and items to trade)
- What is the mean or average sale price (stop people getting ripped of or under selling)
I can’t see any reason why this would be a bad idea. What are other peoples thoughts?
