CP has already obviously experimented with this. Alan opened a shop and there are a couple more that are opening soon run by players. They're a huge hit w/ CP members and other visitors to the island alike. Although it really is a bummer when you finally save up that 8k plat to buy something really neat at alans shop and you have to wait for him to come online and then bother him to go all the way to CP just to open it. Just some testimony from a buyer ^ ^ but ya, I also like the buying the shop flag idea, but it probably shouldnt cost more then 100-a few hundred plat.

Also an idea that might not be so realistic or desirable...perhaps there could be some sort of way to sell you items for something other then plat? Dias would be the obvious example. This might be bad because one of the good things about these shops is that they are definately boosting the value of plat, which is badly needed.
