I think you guys might want to know this. We're all creatures of habit!

Rolanberry has prettier music.

Personally I don't get why people don't bazaar in chocobo circuit - it's a completely pointless zone unless you're the one guy who does the chocobo betting thing - and it's accessible from all cities (it's also incredibly handy for teleporting people from without making them run all the way to WG/Jeuno).
 
Yeah, I always thought Chocobo Circuit would be the perfect place for the Bazaar mall too. The only problem is that because basically NOBODY uses it at all, without some kind of server-wide decree, no one would move from their known spot to there, because it gets no traffic.

It is so unknown, that when I suggest to people to meet me in there for a teleport or something, you'd be surprised how often I get the "I don't even know where it is" response. Followed by the inevitable "how do I get around in here?" There's still a surprising number of people that have never actually stepped foot in there.

While, logistically, it would be the perfect place to set up a bazaar mall, its complete lack of popularity would also make it very hard to convince people to change location to there.

Also... Is there any bazaar tax in the circuit? I honestly don't even know.
 
There is a bazaar tax there, apparently SE was worried about overcrowding it when they implemented it. I'm almost surprised they didn't disable casting spells just to prevent people trying to use it as a teleport hub.

It's still quite handy for meeting to trade things between characters as well as teleporting. But yeah, getting folks to not blindly insist on making everyone come to WG (even when the destination isn't even an AU zone) is pretty hard, and when I do drag groups in there I always have to tell them where the entrances are and to use the teleport pad and where to grab the map and such. Particularly annoying is when you get almost everyone there and you've got one holdout whining about how we ought to just all come to WG because that's how it's done.
 
It felt sooooo weird to zone out to an empty Rolanberry today, lol

In the days after the server merge, there were a lot of Jpn linkshells who were camping inside to re-group and pearl their members -- not surprising, considering they seem to be a lot more active in Chocobo racing. Some non-Jpn groups too, but far fewer.
 
We rock the rolanberry bazaar on Siren as well. I hated the Upper Jeuno shit, its so crowded and seems to take longer to load everyone in for me. Oh well.
 
No!
You can't let Rolanmart die. Stumbling across that was the most memorable part of my first trip to Jeuno. I remember my friend saw it and said "and then...a field of shops". It really made an impression and it's sad to see it go.

Yeah, that's the first thing I noticed trying to use the upper Jeuno bazaar mall -- you can only load a small section of it at a time. At least in Rolanberry, you could stand right in the middle of the large group, wait a minutes or two for everyone to load, and then just tab though the entire group in a big circle without having to move.

Now that it's in upper Jeuno, it's not a huge circle, it's basically a pair of lines. You can't just tab though everyone nearly as easily without walking down the path as you go, and then you need to wait for people to load every time you move. It's not nearly as convenient in that regard.

Admittedly though, the location is far nicer than having to trek all the way out to Rolanberry. I'm sure I'll get used to it soon. :)
 
To be honest.. the Rolanberry Mall would get my attention because usually how i get to Jeuno (since my HP is sandy) I use instant retrace, rebuy it (since i have tons of AN) and go thru the maw to present day rolanberry and walk into Low Jeuno. I don't mind the long walk since I usually get done doing a campaign run or something in the past anyway. I always keep a scroll of instant retrace on me because it doesn't cost me any money; that and I'm cheap like that... XD
 
i used to put Silenceikillyou in Rolanberry Fields, he is my bazaar mule, i'll have to agree that there is a lot of traffic in Upper Jeuno and you can't get to like Purgonurgo isle and stuff and it feels better to bazaar in Rolan rather than Upper Jeuno
 
We used to have it in Batallia. Everyone moved back into Upper Jeuno when SE removed the bazaar taxes from Jeuno (avoiding those was the whole reason for putting them outside town in the first place, remember :P). They're basically all over Upper Jeuno now, not just in one spot. I like it better than Batallia (or in you Midgar people's cases, Rolanberry), because when it's more spread out, I don't find myself checking the same person a few times on accident. <.< It's easier to target individuals, too.

EDIT: lol, didn't even notice this had more than one page. Oh well. :P
 
Rolanmart seems like a better idea since there are no NPCs crowding the places and it's easy to go in order.
 
Sad when eras end. Hope Quetz is treating u all ok tho.

It's very antiquated. :/

Just curious what you would replace this form of selling stuff from your bod anytime with? It seems fairly simple and straightforward to use.
 
Well, hopefully they largely get rid of the posting limit from the Auction House.
 
i have to admit, i think most of all, i'm going to miss dragging simurgh to the zone and watching him rape the rolanmart, the trick was keeping claim so no one stole stupid bird while he trampled the bazaars
