Is it possible to start just a shopping mall?


I dont necessarily want it to be in a player city, but I do want other merchants to be able to place vendors in it.

Would I be able to do this by giving access permissions to the other players.


And would they be able to steal all the decorations??

For someone else to place a vendor in a structure, they must be given admin access to it.
While they have admin access they can pick up any object in the structure, so yes, they could steal your decorations.

However, once they have placed their vendor you can safely take them off the admin list.
They will still be able to operate their vendor normally but will not be able to manipulate any of the objects inside the structure.

Sure, it's possible. I know of a city that started because of a mall.

i will never do this again.


the last time i put up a vendor in someone elses "mall" i found the mall had been redeeded without my knowledge. i lost about 500k worth of my stuff that i had placed on the vendor to sell to this guys guild. they decided that the building was in the wrong place and didnt think to notify me.

So much for a Smuggler revamp, maybe they should just rename us, it would take less time and be easy to do.
"Useless" would be my first choice as a name suggestion.


of course at this point there is no reason to revamp anything. SOE should just shut the game off.
