Definitely a must-have for starting to established merchants who cannot yet afford a store (oh yes, there will be player owned stores in the game
) ).
I\'m still stuck on exactly how it should work though. Because if it\'s really cheap to set up a stall and doesn\'t cost anything to upkeep, then everyone will just put up a stall to sell their stuff, because it\'s way more profitable than a store. Which would also be back because it would use up all the space in town (I mean look at hydlaa plaza, it\'s probably only got enough room for maybe 20-30 merchants comfortably down by the fountain).
So one possibility is that you can buy a stall kit (trying to think of something better to call it) or just chop down a tree, get some paint, and make one yourself, then you can set it up wherever you want. The catch is that you will be charged (paid to whom? I\'ve yet to decide yet, but most likely me for thinking of it
) a certain amount each hour/day your stall is set up -> depending on how much traffic goes through that area <-. If you want to set up in a pristine area of town (like the fountain at the plaza) then it will cost you quite a bit to keep your shop there. This would allow the bigger traders with more inventory to reach a bigger client base. But the starting merchants could also set up, but they would be more likely to set up in other areas of town, or perhaps on outlying roads to sell their goods.
And so I would assume that this would be applicable to offline time as well. You just have to remember that your stall will be set up until the next time you log on, so make sure you\'re stocked up.
And you would probably have a setup that would allow you to control what good are allowed to be sold (and perhaps purchased as well?) at your particular stall.
Hmmm, I think I have more to say, but it\'s too late for me to think anymore.
