I know this is an old topic and I havent been playing as long as most of you but the move wasnt all that great even though I didnt really know anyone before it happened. What it did was make it impossible to trade for certain items. Very rarely or ever is anyone trading for one certain good. Everyone demands it no one offers it. All this does is mean you have to spend a lot of coins to continue on. So how do they decide where you go? And is there anything one can do to get to a more amiable place?
@Lord of Waste I see you are in a fellowship of 1. One of the most critical benefits of a fellowship is extending your no fee trading network by up to 24 people. In a well-oiled FS, fellows tend to take care of each other's trades and neighbors become more secondary trade partners, or can even be ignored completely. Generally, the larger cities with vast inventories will sweep through their traders and clear out fellowship trades for them. I started in desert on the edge of the world. There weren't that many cities around me to even trade with. Without a FS, I would not really be able to trade before I got moved. With a good fellowship, I can bear through the desert map with some teeth grinding. Lastly, if you don't see trades that are favorable to you, list your own. I don't really list trades these days since I mostly fight so I don't use my resources to really need anything, but I go through my trader and help my FS and neighbors with trades and will help out neighbors too since I remember what it's like starting out in a desert with nobody to trade with.
