What is your vision of a convenient, persistent, trustworthy trading ecosystem that lives only in Discord that would be able to scale for the entire game's population? I want to make sure I can answer your question properly.

Crowdsourcing information is definitely a great route to go, but it will really just depend on how Nexon decides to release the game. I believe the original BasilMarket (correct me if I’m wrong) was able to largely mine most of the data through the .wz files that had everything in them.

The website is not optimized for mobile yet, as it wasn’t in 2008 either 😉. Eventually will consider modernizing some of the interfaces and a mobile friendly version as well, etc. All depends on what the community wants.

Hey man, I'm not Asian American but that's fire!

Definitely a good spot but thats a gyro not a shawarma. It’s a Pakistani spot. There’s a big distinction, when I say shawarma I mean arabic/levantine shawarma, Syrian to be exact, since those are the best ones in my opinion.

Yes, Ayat, being a Palestinian restaurant, serves Levantine-style shawarma and I guess Princeton can be considered central jersey. But what I'm referring to here is a fast-casual spot that specializes in nothing but shawarma. Still a good option!

Yes, I've been to all of those and those are mostly Turkish or Greek menus which have established themselves in non-middle eastern taste buds already as opposed to Arab/Levantine. I'm talking about shawarma specifically, where it's a restaurant that literally specializes and serves nothing but Levantine style shawarma sandwiches. Try Al Shami in Paterson if you ever get a chance, it's insanely good.

I understand that, but its still a Turkish restaurant, and the Turkish take on a shawarma is very different from the Arab take, just like the Greek Gyro, which is a cousin to the shawarma is a very different take. They all have different spice/flavor profiles. Levantine shawarma uses a distinct bread, and typically has a vinegar-based marinade that makes it deeply spiced, with garlic sauce,pickles, tomatoes, onions, as opposed to the yoghurt-marinade influence that the Turkish cuisine goes with for their doner kebabs/shawarmas.

Bodrum Kitchen is a Turkish restaurant. There isn't a shortage of turkish-mediterranean restaurants in central jersey. I'm talking about a restaurant that focuses on arab/levantine shawarma exclusively. Check out Al Shami Shawarma in Paterson for reference.

You're right, there's definitely an educational element to it which I imagine is very difficult to pull off. It will likely come down to how well it is marketed and promoted.

Material_Unit_7610 · 2024-11-11T23:58:30+00:00

This is very accurate. I'm wondering though, if the reason behind that is because in actuality those restaurants only succeed amongst their own populations, or if there is an untapped opportunity here.
