Rumour has told of various merchant contacts working in the great cities of
batmud. Each of these contacts has built his empire around a different area
of trade, gems, weapons etc.. They might work as shopkeepers in their
particular areas.. that's up to whoever designs.

Once the player has met certain criteria...( fetch tasks, sell a certain
amount of goods to the contact at reduced price. etc) they are in favour
with that paryicular contact.

Each contact offers different benefits but they're all in competition with
each other so it's only possible to be in the good graces of one at at time.
The benefits could range from a greater amount of gems sold to that particular
merchant or information pertaining to things in the world that are possible
to be discovered.

ex- the gem merchant in Rilyntarr has heard of a particularly rich gem
deposit in the outworld. If a merchant was to minecraft in that location,
the mining would reveal an abundance of refined gems while digging.

or- The arms-merchant has heard of ruins that could possibly contain old
weapons of exceptional quality.

It could even be extended to Silverlake with a contact who allows sailors
to deal with trade routes and trade-ships.

oooh.

or to make things overly complicated..
each npc merchant in bat has a chance of over hearing rumours every time
they have a pc customer. When a player merchant asks him about rumours,
there's a growing chance that they've heard about something that might
interest the player.

Perhaps the items sold would denote the area that the.. rumour might take
place?
