Amalgamation Of Various Stores

Postby mozenwrathe on Wed Mar 20, 2013 12:44 pm

As per a discussion that has been held in the #lonely_inn_ooc, and undoubtedly in various forms in other venues, I would like to ask about the merging of a few stores within the gaming scenario, along with the appointing of new management in the case of a few. The stores that would be getting new management would be those that have sat idle for more than two months because nobody is able to access/ open them currently. Some of the other stores could merged into previously existing locations.

Though when I do post my suggestions, please note these are based purely on what little I know about each of the stores. And yes, at least one of the combined stores would still be located in Valencia. I am sure I would be considered biased about such a move, but if a region is supposed to have its own base economy, there'd have to be places to buy and sell within.

I have thought about this as well. It would make everything easier for players looking to shop for their characters.

I also understand the desire to have a unique store base in the game, rather than throwing everything into a few generic stores. The setting is better, when each store has its own feel.

The compromise could be the ability to special order items through the general store. If I want my character to be able to buy a lute, I might as well forget about it, because that store is never going to be open. If I could, however, place a special order, then it could be assumed that the general store is acquiring the item.

This practice shouldn't be the default though. If there were a handling charge and a wait period to pick up these items, it would still give incentive to find a employee of the actual store IC.

From an setting perspective, this would be fairly accurate. Most general stores before the advent of modern transportation acted as a go between for customers, who could not travel themselves. They also were a place for trades people to sell on consignment.
