Well, as many of you have probably heard by now, we had to bump the vendor changes out of pub19 due to some mostly unrelated server issues. So in light of more dev time (wee!) and more QA time (woohoo!), I wanted to ask for more feedback on the vendor changes thus far as well as some more ideas from you guys.

Here is a list of some things I've got down so far:

- Bazaars (public vendor area in towns that can be rented by anyone)
- Auction Vendors (for houses? items? public auctioneers at banks? auction bazaar spot?)
- "Cleanup Britannia" style system to help encourage destruction of low-end items
- Display Cases (allows you to sell stuff outside of a vendor)
- Be able to sell stuff displayed in your house?
- Commodity vendors (be able to buy/sell ingots, regs, boards, etc)
- Password protected for-sale items. Only person with password can purchase.
- Allow sales on wares. ("all items 50% off").
- Allow discounts for specific players / guilds
- Show time since last stocked on vendor's item properties
- Show number of items sold on vendor in item properties
- Allow vendor co-owners / friends (friends can stock but not collect funds - co-owner can collect funds but cant deed vendor)



What other ideas do you guys have? Feedback on the current system? The above ideas?

P.S.
If you guys wanna chat about any of this stuff in-game, I'll probably be on GL tonight sometime. I was there last night talking to some people in Moonglow. Was a good time.
