Thanks.

Why? What's different? haven't logged in yet, won't be on for a few hours, still at work atm.

:devil

Whats bazaar? and more importantly WHATS EQ 1?!?!

Its been completely changed around. The map they gave isnt even correct anymore.

Well, the thing with the map that you have to watch out for is that the old bazaar's map is displayed along with the new bazaar's map. If you turn off the first layer, the old bazaar's map will go away.

That said... I hate the new layout. Why did they have to change the actual layout? A texture revamp would have been more than sufficient. :(

Did this expansion improve graphics/textures for the whole game or just the new content?

Yep the new bazaar blows.

I can think of no benefit to the new bazaar, only negative impacts.

#1) Traders are now spread out across rooms via portals, making the travel time between traders longer--especially in the case that I have to travel back and forth across red and blue sides.

#2) The FIND PC implementation for finding traders doesn't seem to work going from one color side to the other. I have to guess which side the trader is standing and then try to create a mystical path. If I'm wrong, I have to go through the labyrinth to the other color side and do the command again.

If the positive impact was supposed to be lag reduction, my feeling on that is that was solved a long time ago with the Hide trader option.

I don't know what they were smoking.

Xapp

I think the lag has been more solved by EQ2...

Lani

p.s. unless they do this in anticipation of server merges, on which, they are 4 months late.

Thank god for the map...I'd be lost in there for sure. Alright, I got lost anyway. Oh well.

Make sure you get SoW before you run around and do your shopping. *sigh*
