It was a brief but glorious time.
Shopping felt like it should be.
Let’s hope they implement it into the base game at some point…

I miss the old boundless trade days. The last time I used it. I put in the coordinates and It took me to a place that was 90% regened. I wish I got there a few hours earlier.
I’m building a new Boundless Trade site and it’ll likely be hosted at trade.portalseekers.com/. Work has been a bear the last week and I was on vacation the one before that but I’m working on it now and it shouldn’t take longer than a few weeks to do.

No rush. 
The page was awesome. I wouldn’t have been able to forge without it as I don’t hunt. And I don’t know what I’m going to do when I’m out of mats. I really hope James noticed that the game just doesn’t work without something like that.

The game worked perfectly fine before this site came to light. It was quite handy tho! And used some nifty coding by Simoyd for the scanner but it was not without it’s issues…

RedY3 needs his baskets filled! They can be found at Coin Converters at Nova Golda Market on Trung!

Yes.
It’s basically a request basket footfall coop, you get 2x2 plots and a plot of the path.
Only #1 is mine, the other 13 are not!

Global market listings are essential for the economy. I didn’t shop before boundlesstrade.net, and I won’t shop until there’s a replacement. Glad to hear Dhusk is working on something!

The final web address will be different than trade.portalseekers.com. We are just going to use that as the build area, since we have the hosting space available, while we get it up and running again.

keep floating point and percentages away from each other to avoid divide by alllllmost zero
he must have meant data type
It would remove all the exploring, isn’t shopping a minor point?

I would argue quite the oposite is the case. Before the website existed I used cycle through the ever same shop portals aimlessly.
Boundless trade showed me so many places and amazing builds I would have never visited without it.
It made shopping a more directed and rewarding experience and pointed me towards places i’ve never been before.
Cycling through the ever same shop portals aimlessly or iterating over all shops in a mall, hoping to find the item you are looking for at an acceptable price by pure chance is frustrating and a waste of time.
And it is not exploring either, since you always revert the the same big shoping hubs and malls you know.

How is IT Processing with the Website? I can Not Open IT or use IT
Shopping is not the only reason to explore. Players explore to mine and gather, they explore to hunt, they explore to find places to build, and they explore to just look around. So there is no reason they have to explore to shop.
I also disagree that shopping is a minor point, if I need something I need it. I would like to spend the least amount of time necessary to get it or it becomes easier to make everything myself. Why do I want to spend the time I have to play games wandering the universe searching for something that I might not even find? I get nothing for doing this, no coin, no xp nothing. So if players keep insisting that the buyer has to travel all over the universe to find things or to find places to sell to request baskets, then they only hurt themselves when players decide to not participate in the economy and not buy from shops but just do everything themselves.

I tend to agree. I HATE SHOPPING IN REAL LIFE!. I use amazon whenever possible. Especially hate it in my games. When I need something I don’t want to spend my game time searching for it. Shopping is NOT exploring!! Exploring is wandering around the planets looking at builds, finding resources in the wild, discovering planets.
The game Definitely needs a similar in game feature!!! Even if it would only show you shop prices on the planet you were on. It will aid the economy! Part of the economy being so dead is because nobody can find anything… I have coin, and you shop owners won’t see it if I have to go find you.
