Private shops

[oEliinao]

I wonder if it could be possible to make private shops so that when you set it up you turn to an object where players can move through you.
Like in Giran - almost impossible to come down from stairs or move forward - always getting stuck between ppl. Kinda annoying. Im not suggesting to move them away or make socalled "marketplace" just that those shops could be not "obstickles".

Just my 2 cents about that "shopproblem"...

I've got a suggestion. How bout make it so you don't have to sit down and leave the game anytime you want to sell something. I'd rather spend time grinding, grouping up with clannies, fishing, or just roaming. Why in the world would anyone want to have to sit and wait for hours, and yes it sometimes takes many hours, to finally sell stuff. It's the most boring aspect of this game. I say instead of turning the collision of toons off when they sit down to sell, free them of sitting and find some other way to allow them to sell their goods in a matter that doesn't take up their paid for time in the game.

mmm.. usually ppl set up the sellshops when they are afk - like sleeping school/work.

Exactly.

The idea of making the shops so you can walk through is kind of cool though. I guess that would require to do a "Shift + Click" to choose a shop?

Unfortunately this idea only sounds cool, until you imagine a bunch of rats setting up shops directly above you, so that it is not only hard, but really impossible to target your shop.

This idea has been here before and in essence, the problems coming with it, did outweigh the possible benefits.

As for not being able to play and sell/buy... That is intentional. However, there was a suggestion for a "logged off shop mode", which would automatically terminate, when the account is logged in again. That would safe bandwith and leave the computer free for other things (such as working !).

Another offspring of this idea, were the "free roads" for all towns, assigning a series of areas, where you cannot sit down and thus cannot setup a shop. Such would be around gatekeepers, in narrow points, on steps and around other important NPCs such as warehouse keepers.

In other games ive played that have the selling/buying option they have made tents/certain areas where a player can set up shop always around the outside of the room this is easy enough to do in lineage around the outside of the courtyard in giran down each street and every wall. this would probably be easier to do than make everyone be able to be walked through.

Not a solution, but for now, remember to always report people who are blocking traffic by sitting near GKs or under stairway arches. They will usually be moved swiftly - and if it happens often enough, maybe they'll stop sitting down there.

I think this is a great solution - and pretty simple to accomplish. (I can think of 3 ways off the top of my head that it could be done w/ out changing the appearance of the cities)

I Kind of do like the idea of a shop zone that is like the race track - free to get to, and keeps the mess organized. Makes the entire place searchable as it only encompasses one area (from an interface or what not).

But then all the towns would be ghost towns except for the occasional person buying off the shelf items, or passing through from an SoE land to the gatekeeper.

The shops in the cities gives a feeling of community and belonging.
