See, that would generate the need for materiel, which would actually cause trade. ;-)

All I'm reading in this thread is logic and well-reasoned responses. Frankly, it disgusts me. I'm going to trade at Belgorrian because I'm a badass orc pirate warlord from beyond the stars, and to Davy Jones' locker with the rest of ye.

That was a recent development. Centrum has been the main hub for bulk advanced items and for crafted items as long as I have played Illyriad (2.5 years).

I had a trader in Hope Ridge for two months. There was hardly any activity there. What makes sense to me as a trader is to concentrate where the most real trading activity occurs, and without a doubt that is Hedgor's Haven.
I don't believe that being central is what caused the focus on Centrum. I believe it is largely because the structure of the new player ring caused it to be the center of mass. Therefore in Elgea the center of mass coincides with the actual (0,0) map center. But the center of mass in the Broken Lands isn't distorted by the spawn ring. The heaviest concentrations of players are actually to the sides because there is water down the middle. The huge uninhabitable areas also change the player distribution. So the precise geographic map center of Broken Lands is still never going to be the heaviest trading location, because it isn't the player center of mass, I don't think you can 'make' a hub the new Centrum. The new Centrum will occur naturally because activity is happening, and people begin to trade steadily. This attracts competition and the purchasing of local goods. Unfortunately there isn't anything special to purchase in Broken Lands that doesn't already exist abundantly in Elgea, and most small items can be easily shipped to Centrum to trade. |

Yeah, Hope Ridge is the best central location. Let's get some action going there!

Hope Ridge is roughly in the center of BL. I know that I am in Hope Ridge. I think that location-wise Hope Ridge would be a wise choice for everyone in that it would be the one with the shortest average distance for the most people. So I would like to encourage everyone to use Hope Ridge.
