Is there any reason, at all, why stores crank up the price of enchanted items
by such a stupidly huge amount? Perhaps the stores could actually sell shopped
stuff at a price that is only a moderate ripoff, say, 25% marked up from what
they pay, not 1000% over what they pay.


This change would make buying from stores a feature newbies/reincers would
sometimes actually use. Also it would remove money from the game, and it even
a goofy logic to it. I know it.s crazy, but there is this concept I learned in
accounting, having to do with stores.well.apparently, their purpose is to sell
stuff. I know the idea seems a little bizzare, but trust me, I have seen them
doing it in real life.




Oh, and thanks for the many recent improvements to the game.

one more point to add this would allow stupid newbie who have no idea about
the keep command to perhaps buy back that vital piece of eq they just sold to
the shop thanks all laters
