So the fact that there will no Crats in live is starting to sink in and while I think this is a BAD idea I realize what's done is done. So the polictical layer will be open to everyone, and you can grab any old profession to defend you if you find yourself facing a capital murder case <snort> but......are there going to be brokers/traders/merchants? _________________ S.

Agents would fall into the thief/spy/assassin category, don't you think? _________________ S.

Artisan would be closer to than Agent, but even still its not quite the same. _________________ S.

the problem with any merchant class in any MUD is that everyone sells stuff by themselves, anyway, and GMs have to think way outside the box at times to find ways to make brokers have more ways to do something.
i mean, how many people use the broker tables? i think that was interesting for a week and them nothing since. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

Actually in another game that shall remain nameless trader tables are very popular, so popular in fact that Traders complain that there are not enough of them to go around. And brokers/merchant needs stock. Maybe thats why the tables didnt do so well, the population here is relatively small and from my experience when there is a small population everyone has everything so there isnt much demand for items. _________________ S.

in dragonrealms (omg i said the magic word) the majority of people who use trader tables have traders as secondary characters just to be plat farms for their primary characters. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

I'm guessing you couldn't read the small text.
Seriously, there really needs to be a black market in Live. Performers need their smack!

God could you please teach me the trick of how to talk out my ass the way you do. DO YOU EVEN THINK BEFORE YOU POST?! Just because YOU might not think that Traders, Crats or the like are enjoyable or viable doenst mean that other people dont. There are plenty of TRADERS in DR and CRATS in HR that are primary. So unless you actually know what you're talking about please STFU! Better yet do me a favor just this once and just ingore this thread and move on to another one. _________________ S.

no i'm quite fine here.
i also said majority. not all. even trevor in the past said that most crats were treated more as extra appendages who could auto-generate money + broker for primaries. and while that may not be all brokers (you are a magical snowflake of primary!), that does not mean the majority do not function that way. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

Protip: I bet it's not too late to talk Trevor into allowing brokering services as a "trainable track" (as in, time invested doing it yields better results in the long run) alongside the political stuff. I think he posted about it in the past, but I'm really not going to take the time to search for it. I'm a lazy bum, after all.

i thought the merchant thing was one of the possible secondary class things for live already, along with the political thing. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!
