Admin shop

Hi all

There is an Admin shop at /warp shop near the mall. it appears to be half finished. I think it would be awesome if it had more items in there.

I would love it to sell/buy all items in the game, but i understand this would be a big task to accomplish.

this would also be a way for players to make some extra money by selling unwanted items, as not all the shops in the mall have the sell/buy signs your looking for.

just a thought, what do you think people ?

Re: Admin shop

The Admin shop has been running, in various forms, for a couple of years now. It does not buy and sell all items in the game and is not likely to ever do so.

The main purpose is twofold: a) It is an everlasting shop that never runs out of stock, with basic items available for trade; and b) The Buy and Sell prices in the Admin shop set the market rates for goods.

After all, why would anyone sell diamonds (for example) at a price lower than the admin shop buys them? People will just buy, then run off to the Admin shop and sell. It's been done!

So the prices of commodities in the Admin shop are very important to the server's economy. Wise business people will study and memorise key prices in the shop, especially if Roly decides to change any. :)

A couple of other notes:
The money collected by the Admin shop "vanishes" into the server. It is one deflationary mechanism for removing cash from the game. No one gets this money.

The Admin shop is infinite, it never runs out of stock, and the Buy chests never fill up. So you can count on being able to trade there.

There is a temporary Admin shop set up at /warp sunbuild. The purpose of this is to supply building materials to the build competition contestants on the comp build site. The skyscrapers are large projects and this saves contestants a lot of time travelling back and forth with materials. Others can use this shop, but it does not buy anything, it only sells building materials and it will be removed once the Sunrise build competition is finished.

Lastly, if you want to buy and sell all items in the game, make a shop :) If the Admin shop bought and sold everything, and everyone knew all the prices off by heart, there would be far fewer opportunities for profit in running a shop at the mall. That is the purpose of non-Admin shops.
