Zub Trading Zone

[Ribano 46]

So I've been thinking over an idea for a while lately.

My Idea is for a bunch of survivors, not necessarily completely against killing as things would need to be protected to set up a trading post withing the Zub walls on a server, which people could come in and use to gain items they need.

another possible location is devils castle as it is better to defend but anyway.

Basic Idea is to make a tent village within the compound of the walls which will then be protected by this team of people, obviously the team will have to have a variety of players on so that it can be manned 24/7.

The tents get filled with all the loot we can find, people are kitted up and if they are killed their loot is saved for them on their return.

every item in the game is given a monetary value and can be traded for other items that equal that monetary value.

the items would be split into tiers to stop junk being swapped for great items

for example (i've just made up the values for now)

Low Tier

Beans = 200

Soda = 150

Watch = 800

Chem light = 100

Makarov = 2000

Medium Tier

Binoculars = 4000

M16 Mags = 2000

Blood Pack =3000

High Tier

Vehicle = 18000

GPS = 20000

NVG = 22000

obviously to do this would require refinement of the idea, a dedicated team to protect the server from bandits and a fair price on items that ends up increasing the stock of the trading post, therefore benefiting the people who run it.

opinions/ people who want to do it please post

ps. we'd finally have a use for road flares to light this place up!

Would never work. You'd get attacked sooner or later.

[joe_taylor1991@live.com 5]

It sounds like a good idea. but why not get the AI create a trading post and its programmed that zombies attack but never get past the front gate because of the army will be shooting them down if they get to close. It would mean a safe environment to go and buy supplies food, water etc...

[Ribano 46]

with the massive amount of bullshit suggestions being chucked around i cant see rocket implementing anything like that in the near future, so i'm trying to organise a way to do it ourselves. Freetrade is one such example that it can work. with a big enough squad it could be done,

as for the eventually you will be attacked, i completely agree. that is why choosing a place like devils castle gives the guards the upper hand. and people will have to hold a flare or something on approach, otherwise they'll be taken out.

nope no tents as of yet. we will have to begin by looting and fortifying and then stockpiling, we will find a server to suit us and "adopt it", ill add you later when i'm on though :)

[Migfighter 2]

We do get attacked. Usually it's a hacker running an insta-gib script or a server hopper trying to gimp us. So what? We get back on our feet and move along as normal.

We don't currently have an EU server, but if any server hosts want to provide we can move across the pond.

would be cool, have seen ur Freeside Trading Company server ,but wasnt able to join (cause its so far away)

[Twogainz 1]

As a freeside employee, it is possible, nothing is impossible if you have a good group of guys. Free side is coming along great and seeing more people wanting to do what we do is great. Best of luck, it's not easy but well worth the effort.
