Alright guys, here is another bump on the same topic. If your logging off for more an hour, please take down your merchant stall placeables and leave the area open for the next person. Quite a few times, merchant stalls have sat empty for hours on end while their PC logged leaving their stand up.

If you don't, remember that the community has the option to delete those placeables to clear up the space.

Be considerate for the next merchant or PC that may decide to try and sell a few things.

I can put anything I want here? Really?

I can, will, and have taken down merchant stalls before after the merchant's been gone for an hour or more.

Also, please do not go afk for hours as a way to bypass people's ability to take it down. That's just rude.

Now THAT is a tax I can support!
I just want to kill monsters and get prizes for it. Is that REALLY so much to ask for?

As a small note if you leave your self afk while you sleep to stop people removing your chests, a Dm will likely boot you and remove the chests, Its not fair to others who desire to use the area.
Do not hesitate to send me a PM if you:
- Require assistance with a staff or player conflict
- Would like to join the testing team
- Waiting on a staff ruling for longer then a week
- Want to join or start an event for the Harmonium, Transcendent Order, or Free League

Seriously, I've seen people who were afk in their stall when I logged on at 10am, and then they're still afk in the same spot when I log in later at like 3-4pm, and remain afk for an hour or two if not more while I RP in the market.

If people keep abusing this privilege, maybe we should put something like a timer of 1-4 hours or something on a chest, to make them vanish by themselves eventually.

what some Severs do, is they put a inactive timer/script in.

Were if some one did not move/type for x amount of time. The Scrip would boot the person in question. That would allow other players to remove/brake down the stated stall(s). That the AFK/inactive Persion is at/on.

The amount of time I would suggest would be 90 mins. That offers enuff time to deal with most irl common ishews/brakes. Any more time then that is kinda bit much.

If I'm to be cynical about it though, booting the character is not the ideal situation, since the number of logged in players is the metric that shows how "popular" the server is, so targeting chests directly would be preferable. (plus, it also helps taking gold out of the economy)

*Nods once*
Witch would lead to us players having to " deal " with a annoying scripted.

Unless we the player base start to police our selfs, with bit more vigor. When it comes to the merchant display casess.

I don't know what's so hard to understand, it's been said ICly and OOCly a dozen times. No one can claim ignorance.

There are a lot of merchants but there's room for everyone. Clean up your shit so the next person set up. There's no good IC reason to leave your stuff when you're logging out or going out to grind. Honestly, a merchant who really left their stuff behind like that would probably be robbed, right?

In an effort to have a conscientious RP I think this is especially important because merchants could be considered rivals even when they share a measure of cooperation. Leaving your stuff out in a popular spot deprives a competitor of an opportunity. I think we should always be trying to be extra conscientious when it comes to OOC/meta choices that could be construed as for personal IC gain, and this issue is right on the line.

Have some class, do your part for the community, and take your stuff down when you're done. Do you want the generous talented folks who spend time on a regular basis designing us awesome content like new magic items and areas and the like wasting time writing you a script to wipe your own ass?
