[Suggestion Feedback] Shop Listings

I think a chest interface, with separate different sections for different types of shops would work, or maybe a building using tp pads and small rooms for each shop, also split into shop type would work well.

I can't tell you how happy I am to hear this!

Though it's hard for me to separate the two:

I think maybe having a colored floating advertisment text attached to an item representing the type of shop it is, above the tp to that shop?

Idk...I will think on it some more.

Ah ok! In my mind for whatever reason I just see the tp hub being tacked on to /town. Since the flag shop is there, along with the tps to the other smps. But like you said this isn't the topic on hand ^^

I've always found that the individual shop advertisements was the hardest part for me in listing shops at my directory. I don't want to have a wall of signs explainin each shop. So for certain specialty shops and in town utilities I would have certain blocks representing that shop. Or place an item frame, or banner to represent it.

I also just for fun have the shop owners head if possible, above their spot.

I like simplicity. Having a single sign for each shop with a TP pad would suffice. Allow each shop owner to place their shop TP by category (i.e. Food, General, Mega-Mall, etc.).

Offer larger plot areas for a higher price-point where shop owners can advertise their shops with eye-candy displays.

Include an instructional area to guide players to find other player shops that might be available but not currently listed.

I fell a shop interface would be the best way to do it i love using /cpset and /cset for residence flag maybe the chest interface flag could be something like /cshop or something like that. This is something that will obviously be done because the BAWK BAWK BAWK chicken suggested it +2345614363q52467364363643 ERROR +1

You fell trees.

Maybe the residence number of the shop can help with the order of the shop tps? Since it seems players are already paying to have lots close to spawn; maybe start with the shops closest to /town and then radiate out? Then that way if a player frequents the /townshops often they will see there's some pattern to it vs. It being random.

Would it be possible to periodically move the tp location to a random location so that all of the shops are potentially getting equal attention?

Perhaps this could be linked with location tags and used to clean them up. We could be allowed to link a location like +pabshop and post it so it can be used as a shortcut. Then if we allow our subscription to expire the linked tag is deleted.

Um, EMC Shops and Attractions V2. That's been your alternative to the useless /v +shop for the past two years. I'll keep carrying the water until you set up something better

Okay, sarcasm aside, I've been thinking about this same thing. So, do a better job in the tutorial discussing player shops (see later description of tp locations and floating notices to emulate in /tutorial). Put a tp to player shops (/pshops) in /town right next to the /shop one and also on the main floor of /shop, probably where you usually set up the promos (right in front of you you when you tp in) with the floating notice as is, but telling them to /pshops or use the tp ahead for the best deals. Set up the player shop hub under the town spawn - put it where the smp tps are because those are also useless. Use the subscribing and renewal process as you've stated, but don't be to cheap, rupees are out there for voting each and every day. Done.

So chicken the reason why I would use the shop interface just like the cheat interface is let's say we use the players head as the shop tp but when you hover over the players head it gives you all the info like megamall small shop ect maybe you could almost create tabs so one tab could be malls another could be speciality shop ect. I'm not a huge fan of the whole structure thing because you actually have to move to get to a specific area where the interface option is gold!

I suggest you get to the location with /Market

Possible Categories:

• Mega Malls (every MC item)
• Malls (many items)
• Shops (some items)
• Specialty Shops (specific items)
• Museums
• Architectural Marvels
• Libraries (Books for Reading)
• Casinos
• Games (spleef, mazes, parkour, firefloor etc)
• Public Farms

*I will edit with further suggestions when I think of them.

What if it was designed on a 124x124 res (One of the 4 large EMC plots on each server). From there you can design it like a Mall you would see in real life, have it setup with floors, and TP's to the floors and corners of each floor. From there each TP would have a Section, where it can be say 10x10 and allow players to list what items they sell, if they allow bulk buying as well as a Custom Designed Portal they can build.

As for the payments, once they pay they can go there any time and edit their rooms. If they fail to pay on the due date, they are warned in the mail once or twice a day, (Or if you can on the forums for those who have malls but are not as active in game). but after say 2 weeks, their shop TP would be lost. (But to allow players not to abuse the late system, there would be a Late Fee).

What do you think of that idea?
