Buying or selling items in the current game is too much timeconsuming because:

-You have to visit several 'market' places on the map.
-When you don't find anyone to trade with you have to do it all over on a differend server.

Suggestion:
Make the trading channel worldwide! 3 possible variations:

-Server based: You see all anouncements from every town on your current server.
-District based: You see all anouncements from every town in your district, e.g. all anouncements on Europe.
-World based: You see all anouncements from everyone everywhere

Notes:
District based and world based may spawn too many messages to comfortabely read/answer. Such messages should automatically include a server signature, e.g. From (player name) (server) (message)

In the radio interview they mention they are actively working on trade house / auction house and it's priorty. There not sure when they will have something ready but once it's done it will go out to all users (aka not a "chapter 3 exculsive" thing)

im tired of 1000 spams in a minute of ---->WTS---SOMETHING!!!----20k

1-if you want to find party its practicly impossible cuz te spams are goin so fast you can't read...
2-sellers dont bother using the trade channel
3- buyers know all the sellers are on the local channels so most of them dont even read the trade channel posts, so if you need to sell something, it will take the whole day to sell on trade channel, so sellers are kinda stuk there, because of the ongoin trade style

solution:
1-
Quote:

2-making trading on local channel a bannable offence (maby 24 hrs ban?)
3-for each town create a Trade District, so if you wana buy/sell just go there, and all the sellers can hang out there just like they do in district 1 of ascalon now
4-create like a listing pannel: if you wanna sell something, you list it in "town trade list", if you sold it, or changed your mind you take it off. you dont have to stand there for hours, the buyer will reaf the town list and will pm you to meet him/her
