Hey guys,
The guild Millions' vender here -- with the server population as it is, it's kind of tough for new players to get in the groove and progress the way people used to. I saw one or two new people to the server yesterday, and it got me thinking about when I originally found the server. When I first came into the server, there were probably about 20 different traders in the bazaar, selling all sorts of useful things (especially rank 1 spells) which helped me progress. I was able to save up enough money to buy one of the really useful rank 1 spells like Gladiator, and bust through the first tier, leading me on to the next and the next. Ever since I've been back the last week, there's been exactly 0 people in the bazaar all day, and it's kind of tough to see.
To this end, I'd like to see if others will join me in keeping a vendor up in the bazaar to sell some useful item drops (some good attunable items, spells, tokens, tradeskill items, etc.). I think it's important to keep everyone on the server who makes their way here, and it would be a damn shame if someone got frustrated while trying to progress because of the lack of community. What I'm not suggesting is that we just give things away freely (or too cheaply), because people should still have to work for and earn what they get -- this is why I've priced my items accordingly, even though there are few people needing ornaments of the gods, rank 1 heals, etc. in the population right now.
My hope is that the people who make their way onto the server by way of the emu login service will have a better "first day" experience than what someone might have right now. If things start looking a little healthier, I might even do a little Facebook advertising for the server to get some new folks interested.
