    Just don't say I suggested it to Deity, and it will at least have a shot :).

    Just an idea but since we also have to warp to 4 different malls to compare prices, we can limit the number of towns with shops to 4. Four towns with shops in total. One in a town in the north, east, south, west part of the map (or whatever other ways we can seperate). Towns that will receive the shops will rotate every 3/4 months? The criteria to get shops in a town will be a competition. The town that builds the nicest area for the shops (shops could be put in a skyscraper, harbour, downtown, etc) would get awarded with having shops in their town for the next 2/3/4 months. This'll encourage nice builds on the server and may help populating a small/mid size town. Sorta of like the olympics, since people warp to these shops and maybe join the town if they like what they see.


    edit. well this suggestion differs slightly from the original post, it'd be the same as the shops we have now where anyone could buy from them except it'd be in towns instead of being around spawn.

    All shop prices will be displayed on the website sometime soon. We already have a plugin in place that gathers and stores the data. The release date is uncertain, but i figured i'd share the info anyway.

    Yeah but the idea of having shops in towns can still work then. I was just replying back to Saintthunders argument that having shops in towns would make it difficult to compare prices.

    i think shops should only be shifted to the towns if the towns can offer nice locations, create a financial incentive for the town (shop fee or transaction tax) and that adds up to the prestige bonus a "market town" obtains. this would hopefully lead to some competition ibetween the towns which i think would be very beneficial. my impression is though, that at the moment towns are just not attractive enough and lack a nice central place, so they cannot beat the malls which look alright but are quite practical in terms of doing business

    Maybe, we could limit the advertisement to the Town/Kingdom forum, because I never use that forum anyways, there's nothing good there.
