Just imagine folks, what it would be like if the galaxy trade forums could be accessed from within SWG. Already they are used by many, but if they were in game, everyone would use them. The benefit to the community would be incredible.


If it seems like too much work, at least there should be some in game mechanism to alert players to the existence of the forums. I've met so many noobs who are unaware of the trade forums.. i even met a new master armorsmith that had no idea about them.



Furia, Kavala, Xana, Tarantella (Xana's alt, before NGE), all cancelled.(3 accts total)

Perhaps some kind of holonet in-game message board thing in popular cities, where say someone with Merchant 1xxx could post an advertisement for anyone to see.

I think it would be much easier to integrate it into the Bazaars, with filter option for


- only auction

- only instant

- both


Auctions should have no limit then and as suggested by someone else in a different thread, the money should be held in escrow as long as the bid is the highest.


I think it would be the easiest solution and it would give the auction feature on the bazaar a real meaning. Right now it's just used for advertising or for "send me a tell with your bid on this item" kind of auctions.
