The fictional, abstract, trade city.

[Suiko]

Need iron? Head over to the (currently fictional) iron building, wherein all players on the server have placed their iron under the same roof, to make it easier for buyers to compare prices. (I just think it'd be a cool idea to have this idea realized)

Example buildings:

Iron Section:

• One building contains all iron. Any player (on the server) that wishes to sell his iron, comes to this shop and sets up his price.
  • Buyers who want iron can easily compare prices because all iron on the server is under the same roof.
• Buying Room / Selling Room
  • The left room can be for all buying chest shops, the right room can be for all selling shops.

Nether Products Hut:

• All glowstone can go in one room. Any player wishing to sell glowstone places his chestshop full of glowstone in this room.
  • Buyers only have to go to one room to find the glowstone. Simple trade.
• Buying Room / Selling Room
  • divided for easier access

Diamond Hut:

• All diamond under the same roof

Quartz Hut:

• Ect.

Notes:

• Buildings can be easily edited to accomodate size. For example: If the quartz building is too small, then it can be expanded.

Additional Option:

• Chest shop owners pay a 15 Mina fee per chest per month placed.
• OR chest shop owners pay 1000 Minas per month for capacity of 100 chest shops

Additional Option:

• (Paid position) Supervisor:
  • Walks around to make sure that:
    • Chests are in order
    • If player does not pay rent (grace period of three months given), then remove chest shops and place goods in personal safety vault underground.
    • Give permission to new sellers or buyer access to region

So, where would this iron building be situated if we did have an ic one? Would it be like a walstreet typed thing? XD

While it may be easy to speculate about what may happen in the future, it can't be known until it's tried. The failing rate when you don't try is 100%.

A compromise could be reached: if it brings unfavorable results then revert to the current shop style.

So what if the corruption tries to takes the city. Big events bring it onnn.

I think most people will still prefer to go to actual player shops and roleplay wuth the shopkeeper insead of just going to a big building with chests

 

[Suiko]

Wouldn't having most shops in one place draw players together and thus encourage roleplay?

 

[mitchy]

Then they should always come to one place and there will be no diversity which will get boring after a while because people have less reasons to visist a specific shop in a specific place
