Well sadly I have no more shops nor vendors up here on Siege for some weeks now, not really been into it since Ginsu was here in our shop we had here where Lady Pyrite made us a tokono dyed white box saying *best vendor home on siege 2007*..not been into vendoring much since, he passed and we lost that house and the prize box when his our vh. house fell. Nothing been the same since. I enjoyed being his head shop keeper and prior KSS shop keeper..as well as running *NEW HOPE* when I first came here to help NEW members sell things just to get their first earned gp here.
But I too learned long ago, even when I was KSS & *prior to that briefly I was also DTA,* now I am in MYTH, that if my potions or tunic, or enchanted apples are needed, even the most *vile enemies* of my own vulnerable crafter often NEED the items, and do NOT kill my crafter when they are ordering and paying for said items in small or MASS quantities. They need what we make, they may not have a crafter, at all, they ask whom can whip up 250 enchanted apples for me, ya raise your hand, they PAY you sometimes in advance too, knowing yu know you are their cannon fodder, they go OOC and BUY and do not harm your char. at all, plus ya no *real* threat to them that pk nor pvp...you are a *merchant* first and foremost and THEY every one of them ARE your potential customers. . it also is a trust issue, they are vulnerable too, they too can be killed by the fighters we may be closer with..........we say DONT KILL THEM they just shopping ..it creates its own *community* that quite differs from those whom only pvp or pk or in factions etc.
Our sense of *community* is folks who's templates vastly differs from our own, and they may NEED us for something we make or sell. . no threat to them, any of them not one iota, but they not gonna be'grandstanding out there in the field' none of em, if they got no potions no apples no bombs or are running nakey cuz they just got drylooted and in no armor.
