The Black Market

The best tip I can come with when dealing with ecomony problems is do like the old ages when money didn't exist.

Trade it for something valuable you have made by GHI ofcourse, like a pocketwatch, other valuable items, maybe trade drugs with other drugs or drugs for mana bombs?

Thats the best way I could think of. And seeing as Horde is very new established its actually weird seeing they already use copper/silver/gold coins. Common thing would be to trade wares for other wares. This could be interesting since you actually trade something you have done to experiance something someone else has done. This would be really fun for the both of you.


Now I read this thread kinda in a rush after coming up with this idea after reading two posts so I pardon if this has already been figured out.

i just found out GHI screws put my UI... i can't even chat while it's on =/

damn i wanted to fetch me some of them gnome heads...

Aye,it's quite buggy. Completely screws my focus frame and MendWatch addon.

Can bloodthistle be consumed rectally?

(( good idea, btw ))

Awesome idea. So where would it be held? I'd like to purchase some goods such as, like...

Poisons
Drugs
Exotic weapons
Useful items for criminal life
Rare alcohols
Plans for government buildings/going ons
Spys/assassins/bounty hunters
Criminal/sinister guild recruitment

And those are what's on the top of my head for this!

Hey, if we take this far enough (creating a new ghetto in WoW):

1. We can get "cool" factor with the kidz who think this stuff is, well, "cool"

2. We outrage the Christian Coalition in the USA

3. We get banned by WoW

4. The kidz all get sent to borstal, meanwhile myself and the older crew gain internet notoriety and me and Vex both get hired for mucho $$ as major marketing gurus for social media projects

Funny that 15 of 15 people voted that they'd use the Black Market!
Where are the good and honest guys?

(Yeah, I voted that Snicka'd use this Market too, he enjoys gnome flesh and shimmerweed, both hard to get.)

On the idea of where it could go, Murder Row would have been a good place but that's the site for the bar that ST runs (if it's still going). So the next best place would probably be Booty Bay as it is the "Mos Eisley" of WoW. Just need to find an appropriate area to take over and then start plugging when it's on. Added bonuses of being at BB include being able to be used by both factions, linked to Ratchet (and thus Vyp's pub) and a decent place to escape from if "The Fuzz" come to shut it down.

As to the "good guys" who won't attend, I think Gurthang might not go, though it all depends on the circumstances. What we could really do with is some of the Moutachiosi to turn up here and give an opinion.

Erm...talking about "good guys" while having Richard as your avatar?

Please note that Gurfang and Gurthang are 2 VERY different characters

Yeah ... one abuses others, whilst the other just abuses himself

But which one is which?

I am happy to see people are interested, I already created one or two beta items to test them (thanks Vyp) and they still need some work so its more fun.

There are plenty of enough places where we can hold this event so this depends from the Honored Society folks which reminds me I need to call out a meeting to discuss this IC. I will keep this updated and give you latest information about stand of things.

Also I will support all other kind of Black Markets but THIS one is runned officially by the Black Curtain Cartel therefore will IC only represent their interests Looking forward to see you there buying poisons and drugs

I think Gurfang's ideas are good:

a) Murder Row area in Silvermoon City
b) Booty Bay (inn?), which has that "smuggler" feel to it and both sides can meet there

Silvermoon would be good for Horde-only, as then you wouldn't get ganking etc. The only problem would be attracting enough people and then any OOC people. But I would like to see Silvermoon used more regularly for events -- it's a great location, empty.

Now first of all:

-Silvermoon will be a good guess considering the Black Curtain Cartel is stationed there and we have since begin of smuggling events from Booty Bay to Silvermoon.
-I plan organize a Alliance Black Market in Menethil Harbor. More info will follow no worrys

I think Silvermoon's good, but Orgrimmar and Undercity are better. The Rogue's Quarter in the Undercity has plenty of unused space, and even some stone counters that could be put to good use. Orgrimmar has the cleft of shadows, which is pretty much the epitome of Horde criminal element. There may be a tent or two there that could be used... can't remember for sure.

I am in the Cleft of Shadows as well, Undercity is rather not visited because of my relations with the law there. How come I feel so lonely as a drug boss and Pirate Lord? Its damn exiting to RP this way and still all I meet are heroes who just fight me!

To be honest, you only got on the wrong side of Vyp because your guys were causing trouble at the Keel and then you were going to hurt Chabat. As long as she doesn't find out Mr Horrison and Shadowtroll are one and the same, she won't have a problem dealing with the Black Curtain Cartel's Black Market...and its more then likely that if she ever did find out it, she wouldn't be able to do anything about it anyway

Its fun to RP a double life IC to be honest. And well its also huge fun to hold smuggling events! Stationer alts here and there and let people run get crates deliver here and there, its awesome to be honest and we got a full store of stuff already!

Will create the first one soon according to people interested!

Please note that GHI 0.23 is out, it has some huge bonuses!

The smartest villains avoid direct conflict. Estate agents, anyone? ^^

ooh, thanks for the heads up *rushes off to Download*

Gurfang's locations sound good.. though I'd vote for Murder Row - as a lot of people are hated by BB etc for Bloodsail Admiral achievement.

What about that place underneath OG? Shadow Clef? Always a possibility.

Surely that just means that it's more of an achievement to get in there?

Ok after a long chain of RP events with my guild bringing and creating items we managed to get hand on a rather small amount of alcoholic goods and drugs. Just as exotic goods of all sort! Trinkets, poisons, voodoo dolls, warlock books and of course gnome steaks!

I will announce place in the South Sea Daily article (on which I work for)

It will be tomorrow at 21:00 server time and the reason I dont say where is to trick people into reading the SSD
