Actually I do like some of this idea ... if you ask me the current system doesn\'t do much for roleplay either.
Maybe we could have rather powerful spells that would set someone\'s return from DR point where they desired in the future.
Another idea is to set those respawn points completely random instead of having everyone come back at the same spot.
My last and favorite idea is to make an actual gate, one or more, around Yliakum. Preferably big, impressive and scary/DR like looking.

Seriously I think that people coming back from another realm through some sort of gate beats just appearing in thin air on the exact same spot like everyone else.
As for a marketplace .. we are the marketplace. Just check the Vaalnor Supply Shop at Akkaio out.
