I'll need to look into the plugin - I havent learned it yet - trying to get @Alator in to do this - we do want to sell as many shops as we can.

This shouldnt take weeks to do and I do apologize.

I also have volunteered to help out on many occasions. Should be easy enough to grant temporary rights to certain people so they can help with some things that are obviously in dire need of help.

and thank you to those of you who are supportive of this thread. Its just a tad bit absolutely retarded that I had to get a bounty placed on me and called various bad names etc just because I wanted a shop. BUT KIDS WILL BE KIDS EH?!?!?!


I cannot see anyone granting admin perms on a temp basis to anyone, not even mods to help out.

yes, I understand, Ang <3 <3 and that is fine. we are just offering to help because otherwise we just feel helpless lol

Exactly. The Staff is busy with the new classes, maps, quests, town plugin, etc... Some of us are just offering to help out with some of the more mundane tasks that are more time consuming than skills required.

I plan on doing another batch later on today as well.

Awesome. I am still looking for that most perfect shop! Lol. And really only want like 1 shop instead of 5 lol. So once I get the perfect shop, will abandon others.

Thank you guys!

Just a note - is there a reason people can buy so many shops? Not pointing any fingers (yavool =P), but it seems a bit unfair that people are allowed to take up multiple shops that they don't even use/have way more extra space.
Even if shops like yavool's 'stalls' are small - it's the location that matters. Those stalls are next to the exchange and gain the most traffic, hence why they should only have one. Whereas a shop in the middle of the district is larger however has much more room for chests.

Essentially what I'm saying is that in my humble opinion, people should not be able to buy multiple shops - one and done. Especially when the sole purpose of buying them is to rent them out to other people. I don't intend to dabble in the economy/stores, it just seems unfair to others, even with the amount of shops being bought.

EG. Have you ever known a blacksmith in RPG's to own multiple shops in the same area?

to the best of my understanding, a player is allowed 5 shops. i currently have 4. i am aware of other players who have 3-5...and am still looking for a larger "building" shop to be in. the overall shortage of shops in Haven has been the reason for why i have consistently requested that the trade district get fully regioned - so that everyone has a chance to have as many shops as they can utilize. it was nice to see that more shops were opened up yesterday; i hope that *all* of the shops are opened up as soon as feasible.

not to hijack your post, but my personal beef is when people buy shops and they lay dormant for 2, 3 or 4+ weeks. the way i see it, we should have to "use it or lose it," and have members of the HC community be able to /pe to file a complaint when they witness a shop that isn't being utilized in some productive manner consistent with the spirit of the Trade District and instead all the shop owner is doing is effectively barring others who wish to be active in the market from doing so.

i agree with you, @SwannkyTaco that location is important, but there are others in the TD that are doing just fine with their locations as well. from a marketing perspective, it is also about what you sell, who you target, and how you target your audience that will make or break your success. i look forward to seeing you in the TD as a fellow merchant of the wares you wish to sell. ^.^

All of the shops are now gone again. Sorry folks!

Does anyone know if there is a way to abandon a shop?

There are still about 15 - 20 shops and huts throughout Spawn that can be potentially opened up to rent. I noticed that some shops have signs in their doorways that didn't have signs a few days ago; i hope this means that more shops will be opening up very soon to accommodate the continued demand. :)

I agree and hope so too.
