We are a little sparse with active merchants/architects. I believe Oien could help you with architecture, and I forgot who owns all the vendors in our mall. I think Kyubi, and Kuiloo own one.

Good to hear there are a few

Vendors tend to make a guild/city quite prosperous if you are looking for different types of people to recruit.

A good way to attract people to your city is to have something good near it or in it. Like Mos Vegas has the kryat graveyard, so they get all that traffic. The guild I was in for a long time, -A-, back in the day had their city Cori Celesti near the Rebel Base on Corellia, so we attract many Rebel people, even though the guild was mostly Imperial/Neutral. But it was always fun to chase Rebels.

Yeah, I chose Fort Oasis' location because of it's proximity to the Imperial Oasis. I really think the Imperial Oasis is a cool place, but at the time of Fort Oasis' placement, the place was thriving like crazy. The Imperial Oasis had 30+ people at a time farming FP, because at the time AT-ST's were "god like." Unfortunately, ever since they got nerfed, you never see people at the Imperial Oasis anymore. I suppose thats okay, it's nice and quiet there now.

Fortunately, we had other means of traffic, Fort Tusken. It was crowded then, but there used to be another city named Fort Alliance that was right next to Fort Tusken. Fortunately, that Rebel scum city crumbled, and once we got a shuttle, everyone came to use for a close drive to Fort Tusken (okay, it's not a close drive, but it's the best :lol:

).

Although, the Tuskens became noobified, and no one really goes there for xp anymore. Although, I still find people shuttling into Fort Oasis once every 2-5 minutes, so it's not so bad. I dont know where their going but as long as they pay our ticket prices, I'm happy :lol:

Still, someone is always going there to farm drops, the Tusken King Rifle is a lvl 54 rifle, along with tusken robes, helmets and all.

That's true, that never occured to me. There was also some talk on the Starsider forums about somone considering to place a new city next to Fort Tusken, but fortunately it never went underway. There is also rumor that the area around Fort Tusken is cursed. No one can maintain a city for over a month there, and like over 3 cities were built there and failed :lol:

And back onto the subject of vendors, I'll repost here once I compile a better list. I now know Nayrosh runs a vendor in our mall, but hes not a RID.

Is the mall still in the same place it was when I left??? And is it still decorated the same way???

Post by **Lexx Yovel** » Sun Jul 31, 2005 1:42 pm

It's still the same location (which is easily accesable near the shuttle), and it's more or less decorated the same way (such as the counters, etc). There is some slight decorating done, like paintings or whatever.

Yeah, I took mostly anything that was mine when I left, which happened to be mostly paintings. How many vendors are in there still?
