It's back!
Veterans may remember the Harbor Market. After some time on hiatus, it's Harbor Market week again! Gather your coin and wares and come to the Redridge docks in Lakeshire to trade and mingle. If you've been to a market before, the format is much the same, but here's a rundown for newcomers:
Q: What is the Harbor Market?
The Harbor Market is an Alliance-side merchant's market that began June 27, 2010. It's an open-air market where roleplayers can mingle, buy/sell craftable or GHI items, entertain, or recruit for their guild. On special occasions, the market also includes a raffle, and fireworks shows and parades.
Q: How do I get involved?
Here's how:
Managers: Market Managers are characters with the <Council of Merchants> guild tag and they support vendors and shoppers by getting them what they need or helping them get where they need to go. If you need a helping hand at the market, flag one of them down.
Vendors: Vendors set up booths at each market to sell items, ranging from in-game mats, craftables, food/drink, guild recruitment, or GHI items. Vendors are encouraged to be as creative as they wish. Vendors can also sell their wares for gold.
Shoppers: A shopper comes to meet roleplayers, buy items at the market, and participate in the raffles and contests. All are invited and are encouraged to help along the in-game roleplay economy.
Vendors receive spots on a first-come, first-serve basis and can come and go as they wish.
Q: What does a Harbor Market look like?
Here are some screenshots. Note that these are from the Stormwind market days, the new location is in Redridge.
Here are folks gathered for the end-of-night market raffle: http://bit.ly/YCFrvz
And here's an aerial shot for the second anniversary celebration: http://bit.ly/11Xx8bO
Q: I'm not from Earthen Ring, but can I get involved?
Yes! Roleplayers from other realms are invited to join us through cross-realm zones. Just note that you won't be able to trade with players from another realm, but the market is more than just buying and selling -- it's mingling, too.
Q: I have another question.
No problem, just sound it off here and it will be answered. This thread will be updated regularly.
