Shop Wares

I am wondering as to whether shops can be changed to display all the items sold at a time. I understand that the limit may be imposed to limit spam, and that we should organize it so our most "valuable" items are seen, but for those that stock several of everything in bulk, this limits sales.

If the risk of spam is too great then perhaps there should be an option where they can search by Bin, such as WARES ENCHANTMENTS. Wares such as Wares vials, is too specific for the general/unaware/lazy shopper.

The problem isn't spam, it's that it lagged the server.

Shops were nerfed for the worse long ago, and me whining for months never changed anything.

I would like it if the shop display were change to:

wares
Welcome to !
lease browse through our wares listed below. Wares to see more.
1 -
2 -
3 -
4 -
etc etc


... though Feyrll mentioned sorting through the stuff so only the valuable items show up, how do you order items in a shop like that?

You put them on the ground first, so they show up more or less at the top of IH?

What I meant was how do you price items and make it so that when someone do WARES, they will see first what you want them to see.

Anything not in a bin will show up on top. Then the bins in numerical order.. other than that I don't think there's a way.

You don't. They nerfed that.

This is a rant that should be turned into a rave. Be glad you can store an infinite amount of items in your stockroom. Be glad you have the ability to set pricing policies and create bins. Be glad you didn't pay 1500+ credits for your shop.
Richter2007-05-03 01:36:11
No, but I did pay 1000...
Unknown2007-05-03 12:56:34
Right, but you only paid 1,000 (could've been more) and you don't have to pay taxes, and you can change the name/description of the room freely, and you can store an infinite number of items that do not decay, and you can create bins, and you can set pricing policies, and...

This isn't something that can be changed because of the nature of the code and the slowness it created when there was no limit to the wares display. Many things are possible in Lusternia, but until they re-write the database code to use SQL instead of flat files, this is just not a good idea.

Limit it to 250 items per bin, and only display one bin at a time. Whats the big deal?

Sure, you could probably add a new syntax to display wares for a single bin. Ask your Envoy to take up a slot and suggest it. tongue.gif
Daganev2007-05-03 19:15:55
Except that shops is not an envoy thing. Its not related to any skill.
