It's getting hard to pay the stall fees with half the people

Postby Claeyt » Tue Apr 23, 2013 9:09 am

It's getting hard to pay the 1000s a week with only half the people playing now. Can we go back to 500s or maybe get rid of the 15%. Half the stalls in town are empty and half the players left because they went back to HnH after you fixed the lag. We had pretty good turnover in the stalls for a bit, but now they're not turning over as much.

You can always purchase silver if you really must keep the stall.

Or make stall rent dependant on the average number of players online during last week :)

Abolish stalls, refund owners.

Have we reached the situation when there are free stalls in town and noone wants to buy them? If not then I think there is no sense talking about lowering rent prices.

Actually, there was some similar system proposed where stall price keeps increasing if all are taken and are reduced slightly whenever stall is abandoned or when there are free stalls available. But, this would take some coding and I guess devs have more important stuff to fix now

Good idea Darnok.

to Procne,

We have reached the point where people with 100,000s have 5 stalls and can feed the meter for 5 months. I'd rather see them get rid of the 15% tax for us active stall owners and keep the stall rent for now. The 15% hurts active players who are filling their stalls and active players who sell to stall owners. The 1000s hurts inactive players the most. Like you said the stall rent will eventually get rid of the rich HnH players, but the 15% drives up prices for new players and lowers what I'll pay them for their stuff. I know I buy stuff from them for less because I know I have to take 15% off. I would pay 10-15%% more to newb crafters without the tax.

With so few stalls it seems like limiting them 1 per player would be a logical move here.

Maybe they could tie accounts to ips.

Then maybe allow multiple logins per account.

In a game where you can create account for free there is absolutely no way to limit anything "per person".
