So far, so good, there are sure lots of people

Crippling lag in PoK, so won't be lounging in my corner anymore. Best to avoid it all together so you don't get stuck when PoK crashes, as it will continually I'm sure. Filtering /shout comes in handy, and IGNORING THE CAPS-HAPPY PEOPLE SPAMMING IN POK PRESERVES SOME SANITY (see how silly that looks?). Bazaar is looking good at least. Not much else affects me.

Bazaar price dropped like a stone, at least with the items I check on, such as various of muramite runes, fungus tunic etc.

Aye the economy is rooted. Some stuff I was selling high is now low & vice versa. Craziness. Might settle down when people stop trying to take advantage of each other.

Bert people seem to love using /shout in PoK so as Olharb said I've taken to turning it off in that zone. Hopefully that also will settle down. PoK is a nightmare. Guild Hall here I come!

XP zones are overpopulated at least as far as I'm used to. Hopefully that also will settle down, or I'll get used to it :roll:

Been spending some time in the Baz since I moved to Bert (cause I couldn't be stuiffed doing much else). Most FAQ was how will the merge affect bazaar prices..always answered the same - fooked for a week or 2...Prices have sky rocketed if you look at it from Berts PoV..Radiant Crystals for ~400 now, instead of ~300., Ebon crystals another +100 up, some mana regen gear is fairly steady, about 30k+, but whats the deal with selling somthing like dust of discord for 3k+?! It's not that rare (That said, sold 3 for 100p each..wouldn't have gotten away with that a few weeks ago methinks.)

PoK sucks ass now (to be blunt). Baz is loaded with 500+traders
LFG list has a lot of people in it - majority lvl 69/70, LFG in RSS.
WoS last night had about 20 people in it...about 11 of them we're wreckers :p NC's been fairly quite, as was MPG, on my brief stint there.

Having fun though :)

The thing with bazaar is that they are tonnes cheaper during the nite where there are more traders on and price are lot cheaper.

Since I'm unable to play most of the time, I set up my words mule in the baz, to maybe pay for some runes I bought. Turns out, words are the shit here (maybe they were on TP also, with the new skill cap on research?)... also, it seems some of the real old farm stuff, is totally non existant here, so I sold a bunch of stuff I thought I'd never get rid off... as well as earned something like 30k on words costing mostly in the 100 pp range, with some 10-15 going from 500-1k.

Makes being away from EQ, so much easier, when you know your bank is gaining more space by the minute!

Loads of people in WoS and MPG in Saturday night, I think that I counted 5 group doing xp in WoS, plus a bunch of MI people sitting at the Anguish zone in. Saw 3 group in MPG, which at this hour is pretty impressive. Although nobody is in RSS, that could be related to the zone reset rather than anything else.
