I was wondering if anyone is currently using the bunker house as their store/mall and had noticed any problems with it, such as decreased sales in the past few days or people having problems with the elevators. Have a bunker house available to me but really indecisive as to whether it would bebetter to use as a store instead of a topside house. any thoughts would be useful. thanks for the help.

There's a thread discussing this on the front page here.

read through that and most of it was dealing with beta and the sign being on the top of the house. i was wanting to know if anyone had switched their stores to it and had noticed any problems with ppl finding vendors.

I've seen quite a few people post that they are having trouble with the lift breaking down. Its a bug that has been around a long time and is the main reason why I don't use the basement of my guildhall.

Personally the lift issue would prevent me from moving my vendors into one.

A pity the bar is on the bottom and down the hall... if it was in the main room on the 2nd level it would be perfect for a mall.

I am using my bunker and having no problems whatsoever.

I have a vendor located in the top room by the elevator and they adbark that the shop is in the long gallery 2 floors down (since many people don't realize the place is 3 floors tall), and to the right.

One of my vendors in the gallery is close enough to the elevator to speak up when you exit it and if you have speech baloons on its easy to see direction.

I absolutely love this bunker as a store. The gallery has given me more than enough room to display dozens of costume combinations (which I am selling in backpacks labeled appropriately on one vendor) and to locate around 7 vendors around the room, each specializing in a different category or type of clothing. So far it is doing very well and I have had nothing but compliments - and no one has become stuck in the elevator so far that I know of.

I do wish the bottom floor was the middle floor though, it would be a better design. I also wish that when you selected the elevator button it gave you "Down" and "Basement" as options or something similiar so taht people realize they need to go down twice, which is not immediately obvious.

I am using the bunker as a shop - not fully moved in yet nor decorated. I'd prefer to use the 3rd floor as the shop..but alas am using the 2nd. I also have a vendor on the top floor by the elevator directing people ot the 2nd floor for vendors. Aside from the fact half have moved to the bunker and half are still in a temporary merchant tent.. I'd say it's going well so far

We all know I'm in the bunker Woot for padded walls!


I am keeping vendors/workshop/displays first floor {I call the "2nd" floor first and "ground" floor the entry room}
Setting outfits up on each of the pads {with sections dedicated to wookiee and ithorian, as well as movie and costumes}


I have decorated the second floor as a lounge for my secondary toon. {the walk around rooms are gallerias, art and 'loot' displays}
