Merchant Archive

I was thinking of creating a city where all players can go to buy anything they want... a Merchant City...

I thought it would be best to throw the idea out there to all you merchants who might be looking to have a second shop or even perhaps start a new one.

The only problem i can see is that it will take 55 merchants to be able to get a shuttleport in the city limits... at the moment this would be under concideration on one of the moon planets Talus or Rori.

So that is why i posted here to see how many people i could rally up whom might be interested in such a proposal. Each player whom takes up resedence in the city will be alloud 1 small medium or large house to sell out of.. or a guild hall or equivalant and 1 small house for storage and or crafting.

The city would be set up in the following way for easy access to all vendors Storage houses = o

Merchant shops = 0

City Hall = X

ooooo

o0 0 0 0 0 0 0o

o00o

o0 0o

o0X 0o

o0 0o

This floor plan would be for starters and would eventually grow depending on the populous...

This is just an idea in theory but i know as a player that i hate having to travel to 3 planets to find 3 different parts and figured that this would attract people to your vendors because of the ONE STOP SHOP ideologue.

It would be prefered if each person would limit there characters to join the city if they already had one, if you wanted another master vendor you would be asked to place these in your allotted building...

This would be an open guild City meaning any guild any faction could be a part of the city, perhaps rebels and imps on opposing sides for concienience and privateers in teh middle... we could set up a place in the center of the town for Merchant PVP LOL thought that would be a fun quirk that would be hilarious (a bunch of lvl 1 pvp goin on)

I would be doing this for the good of all SWG and if at all possible would be pleased if I were to remain mayor simply cause of the fact that keeping this together in uniform would benifit all of the vendors, I would promise to keep taxes low due to all the sales that would accumulate from this one city, and with that kind of revenue comming in it shouldnt be hard to keep up on mantenence. I would also try and make shuttles cheap as possible because we do not want customers being driven out by high taxes or shuttle fees.

If this is something that interests you please post what type of businesses you could offer in this CITY of MERCHANTS because I am sure we could use them all..

also if this is a bad idea or anyone has any flames to this idea please post them too, the idea is to make money and make it convienient for the customers.

Already established Industries would also be welcome but just remember only 1 building for sales per resedent and one storage.

also harvesters and factories will have places to set up as the cityies grow. but in the main central area it would be asked if that area could be let alone so people can see the shops.

Thank you for your valuable time

While the concept of it might be of general interest to merchants, recruiting for it isn't since 90% of the people here don't play on your server.
