I miss him dearly. He was good not only for selling eq when money running,
but also as an area for people who are trying to get eq to check in cse
somebody sold something good. Most of the other vendors in medieval don't
accept as wide a variety of merchandise, don't function as banks, have
lousy prices, or are good xp mobs themselves and die frequently.
I suggest adding a new mob--a wandering gypsy (perhaps the carnival's
predecessor) who would move around Europe, and be much like a medieval
version of the camel driver's son. If this is not feasible, then perhaps
some of the existing merchants could be improved.

Cool idea, Elisa.

Nice idea, but wandering merchants don't help huntless, low-mv low level
chars.
What I'd like to see is a merchant who buys almost everything, stays in
one place, is a banker, and sells lowbie eq. Any era will do :)
Perhaps the merchant near the abbey could be converted? Currently he
doesn't sell a great deal. Yeah he's an imm mob, which may frustrate
people on Klein runs when he gets full, so perhaps he could also
recycle his inv after a while, or when he reaches x number of a particular
item.

hunt until after she's finished learning all her words)
