Yes. It was intended to be removed a while back, and it seems that it just got shuffled in with the Bazaar revamp. Supposedly it comes and goes. |

Considering the general history of Carnival area, it was connected a lot longer time than it used to be. Originally back in 2010-2013 it was available only for 3-10 days at a time, for a duration of a set of events that made it a carnival. |

I'm not exactly sure if it's feasible outside of manually adding/removing the transition each time, but couldn't it be made so that every few real life days the Carnival turns up again? I kind of needed the vendor in there as my drug supplier. |

Drugs are also sold in Dryed Mug (Under Sigil Village) and Death of Innocense (Niflheim) as far as I remember. |

Well that works fine as well I guess. Still, if it's possible to chuck in some sort of weekly toggle to have the Carnival around one day a week that'd be nice. |

Just to clarify position, I'm relatively indifferent whether it's constantly accessible or not. Mostly just pointing out historical comparisons and current alternatives. Carnival used to be inaccessible almost always since it was made with the purpose of being something different and "unique" for a duration of, you guessed it, carnivals. It tended to be a single weekend with string of events, and after that it'd be out. So it had unique stores and locations available to produce irregular alternative. But the new version of Carnival area (and it is new version, the old one looked trash and dated) became accessible persistently, but wasn't tied to string of events. The benefit of it being inaccessible might actually be more excuses to make different carnival events to open it up temporarily here and there. Thus indirectly making more event material for social events. But that might also be me being crazy! |

The Carnival has left, yes. It stayed a great deal longer than anticipated! It shall return . . probably later this year. |

All I see removing the carnival for lengths of time doing is causing people to hoard the items, then jack the price up the rest of the year. *shrug* Alchemical silver quarter staff (or spear, gods forbid) for 20k instead of 800, for example. Not to mention the ioun rings.

The former should really be available in mundane stores anyway. The latter, cool, but not essential. I often end up using different rings instead, since +1 to ability isn't all that awesome always. To me they're good, but not great items. I actually think there should be more limited edition items here and there, change the item pools a little here and there, and let the limited edition marketing of it be a sign for people to grab their gold and go sink it to things that aren't always accessible. It did a really good job at that in the earlier varieties of carnivals, which is why I think that instead of having less of those... we probably should have more, but give fair opportunities, and with recurring so that people get second chances, even if it doesn't happen all the time. |

The carnival is really supposed to be a limited thing, by design. That seems to be more an argument for not having anything special in it? |

It comes around once a year and only stayed so long because we had planned a change to the area. Limited edition items are just that, but it will be around again sometime this year so just hold out or pay the extra price in the mean time. |
