Yes - Hope Ridge. It is visible to every capital city the same as Centrum. There was a great deal of discussion about it in both GC and the forums with the devs eventually taking a look at the trading figures before deciding that it would be put on the same visibility footing as Centrum. I can't remember exactly when this happened but when I last played it was the first page on the Herald so not that long ago in Illy timescales.

@Eowan - I thought that 'No true Scotsman' post was a dig at me until I read it (by the way, I have salt in my porridge).

So what is it now? You do understand that you contradict yourself?

A "Flipper" buys stuff from a producer and sells it to customers. But according to you he is not a real trader. Similar with the High quantity trader.

On the other hand "Investors" and "Movers" do not neccessarily buy from producer or sell to customers. But according to you they are traders.

There are a lot of different kinds of traders - but they are traders. All of them are needed and can make profit.

PRODUCER ( making money by producing ) =>
TRADER ( making money by conecting the producer with the customer)  =>
CUSTOMER ( pay money to the trader NOT because he is patient BUT because it does not worth to trasport themself the goods OR don t even know who the producer is OR where the producer is OR how much money they whould save if they do it direcly cause they dont even know the price the producer sells)

No true Scotsman ILLYRIAD
SIF:  Hi ,I believe that HAVING visable 2 central HUBS is bad for the  trading experience of the game having visible 2 central hubs make thing much easier for everyone but is it any realistic?, does not it cut from the fun of the trading? , what is a trader at illyriad ?
eowan : people do trade
SIF:  PRODUCER => TRADER => CUSTOMER / is there many traders?
eowan : i was trading 
SIF: i agree you did 

who is A and who B ?

My scotsman post was in direct response to this:
I used to craft some items and sell them both direct and in hubs. Was I a trader?'===>>> i count this as a crafting action

People can be many things, including crafter and trader simultaneously.

Only the devs can alter the game code so of course the devs did it but only after the players had demonstrated that it was both a viable trade center in BL and that the vast majority of them wanted it.

trader
/ˈtreɪdə/
noun
  1. a person who buys and sells goods, currency, or shares.

How they do this, anything else they do, and everything else is irrelevant.
All that matters is that they buy / sell stuff.

So apparently if you buy something at Centrum from a trader that you want to use you are not always a customer?

The investor usually has to be (really) patient though. Seems like your "easy" definition of customer is flawed.

I really hope your are trolling - it is getting ridiculous now Wink
