    Looking for your opinions

    Would you shop here?
    What would entice you to shop here? - More than just cheap goods, Vendors have families to feed too.

    Would you want to place a vendor

    Helpful suggestions please

    I like the idea. But no passing traffic, not near a bank and not Young friendly work against its chances of success.

    Also that many trees is a clear fire hazard in a public building.

    In Ocllo you have not only new players but also a great and popular place. Now that I live close by, I sometimes walk to you on foot.

    Do not waste time in the empty, it is better to continue in that spirit and fire some more meat;)

    dont bother

    it would be nice to place a toon in occlo to cast a gate for the mall when something like "Gate Mall" appear in the journal. I think it should be quite easy to set such a macro....

    I love the idea of a large shopping space with varied goods, i just like having the ability to pick different things rather than going somewhere just to get 1 thing. Unfortunately though, unless it has high foot traffic/is close to a gate, then it's just not convenient enough to be viable.

    I really like the new vendor shop thread in Discord. Great when people post a picture with their shop and directions on how to get there.

    Really tough to find out of the way shops unless you do some traveling on foot or horseback.

    Repeated advertising usually get me to return to a shop. Especially if they stock low level slayers, no dmg modifier, ruin etc.

    It looks like your Ocllo sandstone is a great success though, are you considering removing it in in favor of Vesper?

    If I were to do a different vendor location, I would be all in there, no sense in competing with yourself

    This!
    Also as i said, i think there's a way to make the bot cast only when a specific formula is spelled out loud therefore saving a lot in reagents

    So far its not looking good
    upload_2020-5-6_12-8-3.png

    I do want to thank the 17 people who read this and voted !

    A gate bot cost doesn't bother me. My concern is that if I only gate Ocllo to the shop, then its just one bank that has a preponderance of AFK and YOUNG. Young cant come shop without losing their tag. If I did this, it would be a reverse gate where I would gate to each bank In turn, Jump Through, Spam, jump back before it closes... but then that gate could be dispelled, thus trapping my bot at a bank....

    Always thought Britain Moongate tower would have been a cool large vendor mall.

    I tried it back when I owned the place, the 2 houses at the gate were thriving then along with Yew Gate area. So the tower got little action.

    Now with the GZ changes at the Ocllo Bank, it became THE place to shop...

    Location Location Location… and for a vendor house that is from least to most desireable… Guard Zone, Moongate, then Bank... The two at Occlo bank have all that.

    So my most chance of success in my book would be a Bank House, Moongate House then a GZ house.... I have GZ house(s) that's 1/3… Would like to have 2/3 of the Location Criteria solved to make this work

    I sort of remember the vendors, but the place was also a bit of a hot mess. Lots of cool shit, but it didnt really have a good flow to it, no real identifiers for runebooks or what vendors were selling.

    Your current sandstone behind the Occlo stables is pretty good. What I've appreciated about your vendors though has been reliability. Forget what it was a week or two ago but I was searching through my normal vendor spots and no one had what I needed except for yours. Those kind of things gets me to routinely go back to those locations.
