I do have a DK bank alt myself and I actually do advise other people to roll one as a bank, if they don't want to level the character for actual gameplay.<br /><br />I did roll a DK after my main reached level 80 as I was interested in DK quest line, but I didn't actually want to play the class, so I stopped at level 58 and didn't even go to Outland. However, several months later when I realized that it's easier to keep track of auctions when you post them from just one character and that I do want a bigger bank than the one I can get after spending lots of gold on extra slots and bags, I bought a guild and turned my DK into bank alt.<br /><br />* Mount is actually a great thing to have in Thunder Bluff. With your own guild, you can always stay mounted in TB, as you can access AH, mailbox and GB without entering any buildings. Second best after TB is the Undercity in my opinion, since you can also access all of those (+personal bank) while mounted, but you will have to run slightly further. Third one is Silvermoon City, since to access any bank you will have to enter the building. Orgrimmar is obviously the worst, but most M&S will tell you that they don't care about those extra few seconds they will have to spend running to bank, to mailbox and to AH.<br /><br />* Free 12 slot bags are nice. I still use those on my DK as you hardly need more than that as a bank character. At times I did run out of space, but that was only after buying lots of stuff from AH and getting all my expired auctions at the same time.<br /><br />* Since DK has all (or almost all) FPs in vanilla content, rolling a profession and quickly leveling it is easy. Currently my DK bank is level 61, but has 350 skill in alchemy (around 400 in herbalism). Though I do need to get to level 68 to get a specialization to make the profession slightly more interesting, it's still quite useful to have a high skill on a bank to craft some items for sale or personal use.<br /><br />All in all, death knights are slightly more interesting now to play than they used to be when WotLK just came out (you can still faceroll, but at least now there is a difference between good DK and just DK), so less people might be tempted to roll one as bank on a new realm.nonameformhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03131738745169550283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-30094236278392114442009-03-15T01:12:00.000+01:002009-03-15T01:12:00.000+01:00"I'm also selling 20 slot mining and enchanting ba..."I'm also selling 20 slot mining and enchanting bags that I buy in Hellfire Peninsula.

By transferring goods, we can restore the balance in the economy a little bit.<BR/><BR/> Let's say that [arctic fur] is waaay expensive on the alliance side and normal priced on the horde side. This gives me a good opportunity to transfer this to the alliance side. Overall the economy benefits: Apparantly this stuff is more easilier farmed on the horde, so we should encourage them to farm it. By giving these farmers acces to a new market (Alliance); the price on the Horde increases (but not so much as it on the Alliance side the price decreases, because this is the supply side, and this gap will be filled in by higher supply)<BR/><BR/>You can end up with not selling stuff on the alliance side, because there is is no demand; that's your risk, so you've got to use your brains. <BR/> Probably there's lots of low level stuff much cheaper on the alliance side then on Horde, transferring this to horde will benefit low level ally players (giving them more gold) and horde (giving them cheaper acces to low level stuff).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-32077524906777213432009-02-09T14:23:00.000+01:002009-02-09T14:23:00.000+01:00Ironforge is the Preferred Home of Alliance Bank A...Ironforge is the Preferred Home of Alliance Bank Alts™, because of the extremely short travel path between bank, AH, and Mailbox, and because of the cities popularity with high level alliance toons as well (better for in person transactions!)

(more people trading in one AH means a more balanced economy). <BR/> Maybe I'm gonna start also an alt on my friends account to trade in between horde and alliance (windowed mode, wow 2x launched); you just sell expensive stuff on the Goblin AH for 1 silver to get rid of the 15% cut and buy it immediatly out with your friends alt. However, I don't think there's huge potential on this server because the Allies just lack purchasing power due to a way too low gold supply.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-12467174412988748512009-02-09T12:59:00.000+01:002009-02-09T12:59:00.000+01:00Actually, starter DK gear cannot be disenchanted a...Actually, starter DK gear cannot be disenchanted and vendors for coppers...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-36397176408428474112009-02-09T12:07:00.000+01:002009-02-09T12:07:00.000+01:00This is a brilliant project, by the way.
