So... my first
Now here are two questions I've been wondering about for some time:
1.What exactly is the maximum range of the trader for neighbours?
2. Is there a maximum limit to the amount of trades you can see from other players (apart from the limit of posting a max. of 60 trades per player)?
2. Is there a maximum limit to the amount of trades you can see from other players (apart from the limit of posting a max. of 60 trades per player)?
The furthest trade I've come across (that I can remember) was 21 rings out from my city.
As for the limit of how many trades one can see... I've been wondering whether it's just pure bad luck or I'm actually not able to see many of the trades posted in my neighbourhood. The reason I come to this conclusion is simple: I check the trader hourly about 12-16 times on some days, though I'd say 6-10 times a day is more common, and until recently (about a week ago) I haven't really seen many neighbourhood trades posted. That appears odd for two reasons:
1. If my trader's range is at least 21 rings out from my city, then that would make a potential 462 neighbours to trade with if my calculation is correct. Taking into consideration the enormous amount of inactive players, I'd argue about 20% of those 462 are active (at best) - leaving about 92 potential trade partners.
2. Now taking into consideration that there is a good number of (active?) players in fellowships, one could think they've got trades posted every now and again right?
Well, if they ever do... Then I have hardly ever seen them (as from October until about two weeks ago maybe two to three neighbours had trades up every now and again). I mean, am I the only player out of an estimated 92 active players (and theoretically 462+ players) that posts trades regularly, never mind up to the full 60 trade limit (which I often reach)? This just seems odd. And before you ask: Until very recently, my fellowship members were the only one's to accept any of my trades.
