The Hydlaa Market

[Illysia]

We had one there when I held the ball there. It was made out of small tables I think. Let me see if I can dig up the screenshots.

Edit: Alright, took me a while but I found it. This was the stage we had. The carpets served as curtains since there was no collision detection on them. Performers went around the wall and then came out on stage. Sorry for the nighttime picture,but it's the only one I've got and everyone else's screenshots are broken. For the curious, that's Venalan standing on the stage.

I've seen a player sit in the small tent there with a helmet turned upside down for a hat as she played music for tria.

I love the market how creative it can be. It's pretty limitless as far as possibilities of things you can do. And I like the idea that people can come and go as you please.

@Illysia: That's a pretty nice stage. Honestly I never thought of using carpets like curtains, that's awesome!

@Jessamine: Yeah, I'm personally very fond of the market and creativity, especially both of them together! That's partly why I decided to necro this thread. That, and... well... *cough*Illysia's*cough*posts*cough*

Thanks for posting all of this info up!!! I definitely intend to start visiting the markets! Today was an impossibility for me though.

Keep the flame buring!!! Unless it is a dark one, then I guess we will never know.

Good to know my pestering is doing some good this time around.

The stage is made from sunken tables, I forget which ones, decorated with crystals, and... I think the carpet idea was actually Venalan's or maybe one of the other GMs. It definitely wasn't mine, I just OKed it.

And this is why we load the forum up... it works.

The ball really was a great time for Waesed, dressed as a little ulbernaut and playing a lute.

[Illysia]

Aww. I'm glad. I remember being soo bummed out afterward. We worked really hard on it, but because of school I didn't get as much done for it as I wanted, the plot I had intended for it totally fell through, and I thought everyone was just going to forget about it because it seemed like people just stood around more than RPed. I was really sad panda about it.

Another lovely market!

Willam decided to hide in a tent, because it was apparently snowing.
Not that I'd really know, as my weather effects are turned off. But I was told it was snowing.

We had a new advertisement posted today at the market!

We also had merchants from last week's market return!

Zharai at her kiosk
Larili's tea shop
Gondor's trading post
Migg's herbal goods

Basically, there was RP, there was profit for some, there was a market, and, folks, it was fun!

If you can make it next time [October 30th, 1800 GMT], please try to attend!

You do NOT need incredibly rare, deadly expensive, or perfectly crafted wares to attend! You don't even need craftable/lootable items! I think it would be fun if some not-so-honest trader appeared and tried selling things to people.
In fact, I encourage those who decide to use their creativity and sell books that describe whatever paintings, drawings, sculptures, complex jewelry, clothing, enchanted items, or whatever else they can think of! And then, you know, try selling said stuff.

And really, not everyone has to (or should) be a merchant. We need people to buy stuff, too!

On another note, if someone has a price that you consider too high, trying to get them to lower it might just work! Who knows, it at least might make some fun RP to try.

Very nice. You know what these markets need? An adorable yulbar mascot that runs around begging scraps from the market goers.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not...

Udajet, where are you?

[Jessamine]

Jess usually has Scraps out (her fat waddling Ylubar)...if I remember to summon her.

[Illysia]

Very serious. I think Bodier used to do it. It was very cute.

[Tidebringer]

Oh, well, in that case...

*Tidebringer looks around for a cute, pathetic yulbar, using sand cookies and some ever-so-irresistible pies as lure. "Here, Yulbie, Yulbie, Yulbie... here Yulbie..."

For the curious, that's Venalan standing on the stage. 

I don't act and you can't make me!
