Wouldn't it be cool to see a really diverse market in Hero's Journey? What I mean is, having something abit more realistic than flat market prices everywhere youg go. In Fable, it was possible to make money just trading bewteen taverns because of price difference. In Runescape, the general store's stock purely rely's on what players sell to it. These ideas and more are great ways to get out of that nasty flat rate, static deal we see in almost every other mmorpg.
Here's a small example of what I mean.
Town A: Located near the sea. Large supply of turtle meat.
Town B: Located in the desert. No supply of turtle meat.
So lets say you are in Town A, and you kill a few turtles, and build up a hefty stock of turtle meat. Here are your options to sell it off.
Town A's General Store offers you 20 silver pieces each, until eventually he has a large supply, and no longer is interested.
Town A's Butcher Store offers you 30 silver pieces each, until eventually he has a large supply, and no longer is interested.
Town B's General Store offers you 25 silver pieces each, until eventually he has a large supply, and no longer is interested.
Town B's Butcher Store offers you 40 silver pieces each, until eventually he has a large supply, and no longer is interested.
The point I am trying to make is, it would be cool to see prices, trade, stockings, and all other aspects of the online market to be affected by location etc. Anyway, I think you get the idea. I would type more, but I'm off for a camping trip!
