Thayan - I agree it's just laziness & proximity to the market that are the main causes... not so much the cost. I like your solution a lot :)
If you're suggesting something else be changed to discourage meeting in the market, I'd strongly disagree. The market is public, has multiple merchants, a clean fountain, the slave pens, and nearby access to the boats and sewers. All those add up to make it a natural meeting place. If anything I think we could encourage meeting there by adding some public benches or something. I've played on servers where there is no natural meething place like that and it simply encourages more OOC tells to arrange meetings and find groups. I like the market because those things happen in a natural way there.
If you're suggesting upgrades to the Anchor to encourage that sort of thing, fine, but I'd also point out that the Red Trident is used fairly often for planning, more private discussions, and so on. It's much better than the Anchor - it's bright, clean, well-arranged (good job Siucre), has several natural meeting areas, and free beer and wine. It's no wonder that the Rusty Anchor isn't visited as much.
