Okay, scratch out all those ideas and do this:

make it so no one can BUY any item for 5 seconds.. so if someone puts a hat up for 5000 gralat, you can't buy it for 5 seconds.. giving everyone a chance to see the price first.

what are you talking about don't link the levels to houses? since when are they linked to houses?

Also, the reason the market lags is because of the npcs and people.. gee lets see:

each stand:
1 basket npc
1 table npc
1 green top npc
1 sign npc
6 item npcs

10 npcs a piece, plus 3 or 4 stands on the level means there are 30 to 40 npcs alone in the stands.. not to mention, lights, the railroad, and the TONS of items left in the basket.. we're talking about 70-80 npcs on the level not to mention the people, bomy pets, and anything they use to lag up levels (emoticons, bomy pets, torchs, any gani, etc)

THAT is why the market lags.. If you go in the market while it isn't busy, and the stands aren't full, and the baskets have been cleared, it doesn't lag.

What I meant was, you know how outside levels are all connected, but when you enter an inside level, the level is by itself and it lags less. If we put one stand in each of these levels, then that would cut back lag tremendously.

And also the you can't buy an item for 5 seconds is a pretty good idea.

Maybe they could still disable the trading npc's in the market, but make a link from the market to another trading house... (it's pretty far to go to get to the trading house, and I believe that all the financial activity and trades should go on in one area of graal2001, not all over.) By linking to a trading house, you would still be able to give and trade stuff, and it would still cut back on the scams by a lot.

Definately. There should be one staff member in the market at all times, keeping an eye out for illegal activity. I seriously am trying to figure out the purpose for Police; most of them don't answer my questions, they don't help when someone is harassing me, and they really don't help when we need it the most, being scammed that is. Police should either take on more responibilities or they should simply be replaced. FAQ's do more than they do, they even do police jobs sometimes.

There is a second Trading Post on the Forest Path between the horse Track and Bomboria.
