    Suggestion: Remove Spawn Shops or lower the number of spawn shops and raise the price on them.

    Reason: So malls in towns can be used more, and a better way to attract players to your town.

    Any Other Information: I think this is a good idea bc you would have to go to a town instead of going to a spawn shop, so oyu would have to see the town and most likely move into the town

    The Market is an effective strategy in removing money from the economy, and is accessible by all. Going to a mall and/or town to trade can be quite confusing, and adds more stress to what should be, easy trading. The Market itself will be going nowhere anytime soon.

    When I first started the spawn shop was only open for a limited time each day at a random time. When I say limited I mean it was like five to ten minutes.

    People would LOAD up on stuff to sell and stuff to use themselves. It was pretty crazy.

    I have to say I agree, though perhaps not for the reason you've mentioned. There's simply too many spawn shop stalls that aren't filled. We need to do something to fill out the market.

    As I read that, that is another reason to do so.

    I agree with Nicit. There are way to many empty shops just lying there. We need to fix em!

    There is such a big demand for them at some points. I remember 20 applications filed for new spawnshop.

    I disagree that the spawn shop market should be removed or that the prices should be raised from the current price. I do agree that something needs to be done to make it thrive again.
    The unfortunate reality is that player markets come and go, even those that are well run and managed. The spawn shops add some stability that is not ever going to be found in markets located in towns.

    One way to sort out the "empty lot" problem is to relocate the spawn shops in the quite areas and try where possible to relocate them to another market altogether trying to keep a similar position to what they had. This way you could close a empty market area making the rest of the market fuller. This will also alleviate the need to run through empty lots to hopefully find a shop on the other side.

    I agree with this concept except moving the shops, other than during the first remodel. I think it would be nice to have warps located every 4 shops and expand or retract as necessary depending on the vacancies. This would keep the spawn shop area from looking liking a ghost town that it is currently. Of course, we are coming back to vacation time and many of the shops will be filling again soon for a few months.
    Also, it would be awesome if the shops could increase in size due to the new items added in the latest update.

    I rather like this idea.

    I disagree - I think not having enough space in your shop is good. If you can't sell something, then your neighbor will, and anyone wanting to buy it will have to visit multiple shops instead of one stop shopping.

    Actually, I had not thought of it this way and you are correct that it does help "even" out the shopping experience.
    Of course you are slightly biased since you have a "monster" shop :p jk.. jk..
    On a serious note though, I never understood why those shops are larger - they already have the advantage of being nearest the portal and we all pay the exact same amount for our floor space.
