The Xunlai Marketplace thread
FoxBat
The one reason I can see them doing this is because it may lessen the strain on the servers from the constant flood of trade spam. A prelude to "downscaling" their servers so to speak.

I wouldn't give much to that picture - those outpost pictures can look deceiving.

Also: updated OP with info.

Marketplace can be placed in the Battle Islands, near to the guild hall.
Every player, no matter the expansions it has or if he is using a PVP char, can go there.

Nice update Zweistein.
I noticed one problem Anet is going to get with their strings
is incompatible with; (NOTE this could also mean that high end sales are possible and that it referes to Ectos or other tradeables)
If anyone of the Anet People who dont read these threads so that they cant comment about projects they are not working on and never will... dont look into this so you cant doublecheck the strings which dont exist. Thank you
OK, now I think Ive confused myself enough. If an Anet employee sees this, feel free to correct my wording
.
P.S. that last sentence was only for Anet employees, any other corrections will not be accepted
EDIT: It would also be nice if there was an option that the gold were added immediately to the storage space instead of suddenly giving a player 100K while in the filed trying to collect the gold drops

There is an empty area between the Great Temple and the Challenge Elite.
The space between the Zaishen Challenge and the Zaishen Elte is revisited durin the Halloween costume arena. But not the empty area I'm talking about.
If I had to place the Training Arenas I'll place them just West from the place I'm talking about.
The doors in the Great temple are also closed, instead of allowing zoning to the Zaishen Challenge.

On top of that, the Icon
Suggest either Prophecies or the Battle isles.
Since it would greatly help PvP players to sell HoH and Zaishen chests stuff while PvPing, if added, the best place would be there.

This is what is great about forums like this, we have taken a peek inside of the dat and WHAMO we have no found all this info and all the speculation makes everyone think and tends to provide tons of good ideas. At the very least, even if what we think is coming isnt, anet has a nice chunk of ideas to work from via our thoughts on the matter
MrSlayer
You know, another point to back this up is the merging of all the servers to be accessible by all others. This would mean that you could use the XM to trade with Japanese, Korean and American/European players. Could be that this stopped the system from being implemented in the first place.
Still, not saying woot until I hear a response which doesn't start with "oops sorry guys!"

Hey... districtcs getting joined... this is like making a puzzle. XD.
We could list all things pointing to that...
The only problem with this is... what if we get all hiped up and they do not add it?
Better remove the idea out of our heads, to get more surprised if they add if...

Well, not the release of GWEN... because didn't they mention the hall of monuments long before they actually released GWEN?
It could just be a code artifact from when they were coding GWEN.

ie: If you had 900k in storage and 90k on your character, then...
- You could sell a <= 10k item and get the generic "trade done" string.
- You could sell a 10k < item <= 110k and get string2.
- You could not sell a >110k item and you would get string1.

they are going to definitely have to work on the receiving money portion of that so that it deals with people who are maxed on cash in places, be it putting the money in the unclaimed items box like you see at the end of missions and things, or allow us to hold more than the current caps on gold

Still no word from Gaile?
Well then, I guess I will have to pull out an old trick it seems.
GAILE I WILL QUIT GUILD WARS IF YOU DON'T RESPOND TO THIS THREAD IN A HELPFUL MANNER. YUO ANETS WILL RUNZ OUT OF MY SUPPORT AND LESS MONEY!
I have to agree with stretchs, since even if this is currently an abandoned idea, our speculations carry enough ideas that maybe they plunk together some ideas and make it work out later.

Two different functions can have variables named the same. =o

All very interesting.
Regarding the location of the 'Market'... is it possible it could be located in all the major cities? Most of them have market areas with stalls, such as the Merchants' Row of Lion's Arch. Perhaps it could be conducted by an NPC placed there (e.g. Xunlai Agent [Market])?

seut
Maybe it's a location accessible to Xunlai Agents only and we access it by placing items into a special storage tab?

The district joining does also add to the credibility of this whole thing... I don't blame Anet for staying silent though. I think they learned that silence for something that may or may not happen is better than giving anything for the smacktards to use as "evidence" that they "promised" us something.

I want a fairly solid Yes or No, not a cute anecdote that leaves us nowhere lol.
No offense to Gaile.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not faulting her here, I'm simply saying it's altogether quite possible that she's kept out of the loop more than we've been led to believe.
Thus, her saying that in that post truly means nothing to me.
I suppose we should all just 'wait and see'

If it is in fact true, then I bet she/the dev team is a little pissed that we already know about it. Nothing worse than ruining a surprise, especially one of this magnitude.

Check if the strings exist in other languages.
Internationalization is the final step, and requires a great deal of QA. If they have been translated, then this was worked on via production pipeline (i.e. serious business), and not just as a test.

Assuming the merging of the "servers" is being performed to make this marketplace work properly there are still a couple of asian areas to be merged - I think they mentioned it in an update recently too.
So it isn't going to happen at least until that is done. Given the length of time it's taken from the EU/NA merge to the first of the asian, it might be months before we get this...

if this isnt real...it should be.
Avatar Exico
I agree, It sounds that it all rumors. Ill believe it when it been mention on the Update Page, but with all these mean nothing until it mention by Anet or NCsoft.
PinoyRurik
hope this is for real...
If it is, then this is enough to get those "Zaishen" Chest haters out there to start loving A.net again.
I havent been this excited about GW since it first came out.
GO GO A.NET!

I'm willing to give the "rumours" some heed. But then I have absolutely no investment in this anyway. I won't be excited or disappointed if it does/doesn't happen. I don't trade with people most of the time and my one or two forays into the Guru system has left me less than impressed. There is just too much time involved in it all and I'd rather be playing.
It isn't going to change my way of playing, so whether it does or doesn't happen isn't likely to effect me. I'm happy to keep merchanting rare items.

Good point.
If anyone can read say...French or German, it would be wonderful if they could contribute to this by checking to see if there are any .dat files referring to Xunlai Trade. If there are, its a green light for sure.
Vitas
Are there any relevant XMp changes in the recent updates of the dat file? ...
