By having prices fluctuate boot to boot you will NOT encourage "shopping
around." You'll just encourage people to stop caring about the crap eq as
much. No one is going to treck halfway across the country side just to sell
10-50k worth of eq. NThey most certainly won't hop a ship to another
continent just to search out a better shop there.
This would increase use of pcities however. If there's no point in going to
skeep because you don't know what the tune there will be, then you'll just sel
at the most convenient place.
People with ships might be an exception however. If you've got a ship filled
with loot from a 5 hour spree, it might be worth it to shop around. I feel
that that's probably how it works for most though...
Err.. that's probably NOT how it works for most
