Ok, in general this is a ingame merchanting system where you choose a class to be either like a hunter thief merchant or merc for hire.You dawn a suit the type of your choice in town with an alias to go with it then proceed as follows you purchase a mount from a npc that carries specialty goods then purchase the specialty goods from the merchant that you bought said mount from and head out with either a hunter or merc of choice or none if you think you can handle it. Then go to decided town. the farther the town from designated starting point= more profit in the long run and more exp for both trader and hunter/merc.during the Trade run you will have random npc thieves that spawn according to the traders lvl and number varies due to the amount of difficulty of the trade.Your mount can die because it does have a hp bar you would need to use mount hp recovery items bought from the npc merchant to recover lost mount hp as well from theif attacks
Teleport stones / incense / npcs are disabled while in "merchanting mode". Thieves use a return to thief den scroll to sell their goods as once they steal them they cant enter a town with them to sell they get a profit and there are multiple dens accross the map the farther u are from the orinal traders starting point = more thief exp and coin traders under lvl 40 cant be attacked by person operated thieves however npc thieves can attack still the merc's can be hired by either thieves or hunters or traders for extra help merc's have a required lvl of 80+ to be a merc this will hopefully prevent people from hiring a merc and them failing as the merc only gets paid after a successful run and is paid the agreed amount in the contract the merc can only be hired from the merc post which would be placed in the middle of main areas for ease of access both to hunters traders or thieves
mercs list their lvl,class,and price the person goes there and selects one also merc's can be hired to kill pkers when they are red name only and merc's may be the random element in a game if you think about it (or just to kill some1 you hate ingame) take your pick b:chuckle anyways what do you all think about this just wondering

    All that text and only 6 periods used?? Unacceptable. Redo your post, separating every sentence where we can read it much easier, then maybe we can understand what the heck you're talking about.

    Ok I read the entire thing my eyes and brain hurt now and i barely understood it because it was very hard to read and thus to understand but from what i understand its a poorly thought out idea both in ideas and unless my not so great English fails me(English is not my native language) the way this is written is aside from paragraphs also written in a strange way thats hard to understand

    As for what I did understand its some new daily quest that I don't like it sounds quite complicated right now and err with my bare understanding of what was written I can't comment no further

    Ok, in general this is an in-game merchanting system where you would choose a class to be either like a hunter thief merchant or merc for hire.

    The idea is that you would dawn a suit type of your choice in town and have an alias to go with it. You would then proceed as follows:

    (1) you purchase a mount from a npc that carries specialty goods then purchase the specialty goods from the merchant that you bought said mount from and head out with either a hunter or merc of choice or none if you think you can handle it.

    (2) You would then go to a set town. The farther the town from the designated starting point would mean more profit in the long run and more exp for both trader and hunter/merc. During the Trade run you will have random npc thieves that spawn according to the traders lvl and number varies due to the amount of difficulty of the trade.Your mount can die because it does have a hp bar. You would need to use mount hp recovery items bought from the npc merchant to recover lost mount hp as well from the potential thief attacks

    Teleport stones / incense / npcs would br disabled while in "merchanting mode".

    Thieves use a "return to thief den scroll" to sell their goods, since once they steal them they can't enter a town with them to sell. They instead get a profit selling near their multiple dens accross the map. Once again, the farther u are from the original traders starting point = more thief exp and coin traders

    Those under lvl 40 cannot be attacked by person operated thieves however npc thieves can attack still and the merc's can be hired by either thieves or hunters or traders for extra help. M

    erc's have a required lvl of 80+ to be a merc. This will hopefully prevent people from hiring a merc and them failing as the merc only gets paid after a successful run and is paid the agreed amount in the contract. The merc can only be hired from the merc post which would be placed in the middle of main areas for ease of access both to hunters traders or thieves.Mercs list their lvl,class,and price; the person goes there and selects one. Also, merc's can be hired to kill pkers when they are red name only and merc's may be the random element in a game if you think about it (or just to kill some1 you hate ingame) take your pick b:chuckle

    Anyways what do you all think about this just wondering

    Yeah ok I read bits of what you wrote and to be honest this is not Silkroad Online. Also I don't think the dev's will take this idea from another company and implement it. The merc maybe a new idea you are adding to it but that doesn't change the fact that your idea is taken from a bot infested game called SRO.

    In short no I don't think that is a good idea.

    Oh and before you say that this is not from SRO, I must say that I know for a fact it is because I used to play that game.

    I tried to read it twice but I gave up. From what I grasped, it sounds like 'Protect the carriage' mission that Link gets in Majora's Mask (a.k.a the weirdest but strangely awesome black sheep of the LoZ series).

    I am not sure it would fit in PWE either. A RPG maybe but not a MMO, unless it would be a forced group instance.

    You dawn a suit the type of your choice in town with an alias to go with it, then you proceed as follows:

    During the Trade run you will have random npc thieves that spawn according to the trader's lvl and number varies due to the amount of difficulty of the trade.

    -Your mount can die because it does have an hp bar. You would need to use mount hp recovery items bought from the npc merchant to recover lost mount hp as well from thief attacks.

    -Teleport stones / incense / npcs are disabled while in "merchanting mode". Thieves use a ''return to thief den scroll'' to sell their goods.
    Once they steal them they can't sell them to regular NPC's. There are multiple dens across the map the farther you are from the original trader's starting point.

    -Coin traders under lvl 40 can't be attacked by player operated thieves, however npc thieves can still attack.

    -The merc's can be hired by either thieves or hunters or traders for extra help. Merc's have a required lvl of 80+ to be a merc. This will hopefully prevent people from hiring a merc and them failing as the merc only gets paid after a successful run and is paid the agreed amount in the contract. The merc can only be hired from the merc post which would be placed in the middle of main areas for ease of access both to hunters traders or thieves.

    -Mercs list their lvl,class,and price, the person goes there and selects one (merc's can also be hired to kill pkers when they are red name only). Merc's may be the random element in a game if you think about it (or just to kill some1 you hate ingame) take your pick

    Now it makes a bit more sense.

    Also,

    Question, has the term "reading comprehension" vanished from the face of this earth? I prefer to think that all the people who say they simply cannot read what the OP wrote are joking. It took not even an extra 30 seconds to just read the OP's post a little slower due to the lack of punctuation.

    You guys really give these forums a welcoming atmosphere to encourage people from different countries, cultures and backgrounds who have ideas and suggestions for the community and the game. Way to go.

    To OP, I haven't played the games you mentioned and while your idea sounds interesting, I don't really see it happening :/

    Sorry, I'm not a slow reader, I'm also reading this on a 30" monitor at 2560x1600 resolution, the effective size of this font is somewhere between 8-10 pica. Wall of texts without proper punctuation and formatting are highly unreadable. Perhaps it would be an easier read if I were using a 14" monitor and if I were less intelligent.
