Personal feelings about personal shops?

and even if you afk and leave your shop open ( i do sometimes), people might whisper you later for similar items and that creates interaction. This happened to me in a diff game on multiple occasions and one of them led to me joining their guild. Fast forward 5 years later now were all playing this game together. To me, the social aspects of an mmo is what sets it apart from other game types. Personal shops should be part of this aspect, to have the OPTION to be more personable and possibly realistic with how they choose to play their character.


p.s. having a retainer stand in for you even if your logged out in one particular area is a great idea dont get me wrong, but then why would people use it at all when the MB is worldwide and sells when you are offline too? I am sure it had some great aspects but it does not sound like a 'personal shop' more like a unique system for an auction house.

I like the idea. Going into a party with some random people and find a super duper nice item at a nice price was so nice.
Yet it won't work because the duty finder groups people from many servers and SE don't want you to "ruin" the other server "economy".

it is a bit weird how the cross server thing works, it's like the whole idea is based around "you can look but you cant touch!" so if I see someone struggling in my party I cant give them potions or something to help them? But I get why the restrictions have to be there.

Hey all,

While it may be a bit early to start discussing details, we can confirm that in patch 2.2 players will be able to place an NPC in the garden of their free company estate and open up their own store!

That would take more than three or four houses.

Cool. Thanks for updating us.

Although it's sadly not that thrilling to hear about because hardly anyone can afford a FC house. Maybe personal houses will be more affordable, then this would certainly be put to use.

On my server (hyperion) the entire first zone of The Mist housing is sold out. Small houses are almost under 3 million.

I hope if we don't want a NPC there all the time we can have are characters there instead.
