Why is Kamadan THE marketplace in Guild Wars?

Heres the way Kamadan became the biggest trading port. After every campaign was released the port became the biggest trading spot. First it was LA, than KC, and finally Kamadan. The only reason Kamadan became the biggest one was because NF was the most recent campaign released. Had GW:EN had its own portable city, that would have been the next "big" city.

When Nightfall came out everyone obviously was playing nightfall and it was the biggest trading place by default since it was the closest place to zone and more convenient.

Things haven't changed since.

Because Kamadan and Spamadan rhymes nicely.

Agree with that...But when some 1 sais Spamodon....i mean i know its a made up waord but still..it sounds like a dinasour not a city. -_-

I think the issue has been cleared up by the above, however some of the material traders etc are all the way on the other side of the town, if i want to sort out materials/dyes/runes/whatever i got to EOTN, everything's close-by and easy to get to, but when it comes to actually buying/selling it has to be Spamadan US D1.

I dropped into Droks the other day, a shadow of it's former glory

i think when the asian community fizzled out, so did the traders. especially the high end stuff in ascalon id1

only really europeans and americans who play the game now

lol, i remember when droks used to be the packed marketplace. crazy that the place is empty and forgotten now. and yeah, it's kamadan because that is the major port of the last campaign that came out, simple. people trade in LA too, although that's about half of Kama's commerce. Kaineng has really low trading compared to LA and Kama.

Bolded the error.

EOTN is the ONLY expansion. The rest were separate yet joined games. Besides, kamadan is perfect for markets.
