[LVS] Future of the Market

[__Laurens__]

Hey all,

Summary: please give your opinion on the market near spawn.


As you might know or not know, there is a market north east of spawn (the place where the tower of trades is). At this moment the only functional building is the Tower of Trades. In my opinion it is quite a succes and I would like to thank you for participating in this experiment (I actually never expected it to work).
I have been busy making new shops at the market (destroying some old ones too) and in the future these will replace the function of the tower of trades: there will be a seperate shop for each category of items. For example, a cd shop, flower shop, meat shop, blacksmith etc. If you look around now, you can already see some of these shops. In these shops people can claim chests and sell their items just like in the ToT.
The thing that needs to be done before these shops will be used is to make them only accessible for zedlings. That's why probably a dome will be constructed over the market.

My question to you is, dear LVS'ians, if you think that the current lay-out of the shops and also the look of the current shops is OK, or if there should be a big makeover. I also am still in doubt whether or not to give people their own shops.

Thanks in advance for your ideas and opinions.
I can't say whether or not I will do a big makeover of the market, because it took a long time to get to this state, but if that is what most people think, I will defintely consider it, after all, the goal of the market is to be the centre of trade of the server.... for everyone.

Thanks and kind regards,
Laurens

I love the market. People on the server seem to very keen on abandoning it and starting again. People we HAVE somewhere to trade goods. IN my opinion the market is great. I think specific shops Is a good idea but private shops will make the market congested and laggy. Pretty much all the other shops there need to be removed, or at the very least, their chests. In regards to the dome. I don't see this as a needed part. Just more effort.

In short, make is smaller, more accessible (better nether "tunnel"), remove redundant personal shops, advertise, get the word out. Most importantly, people need to start using it more!
