I've brought up the house-shop idea several times, and they can't fill new players needs with their expensive items. Yes, what they stock is up to them, that's why it can't help everyone. House-shops only carry what the owner has, and are only located on kingdoms, and players will, most of the time, not be able to find the type of item the want there.

Player house-shops can't help every player.

This is mostly geared to trials or newer players.
They need to learn how to shop/and get a hold of weapons without going through the crazy "learnhowtomakeagoodtradeandnotgetscrewedandtrylea rningfromyourmistake"
routine that everyone else goes through.

Sure it's easy for people like you/me/that guy lurking on this thread,
but look at it from the new players point of view, who have no connections with good people or kingdoms or money so they have to go through all the tricks and learn what items do what and if it's worth 100000000k dia and a gk and 23 ec.

This allows them to get an item, almost risk free, without hunting a player house-shop that doesn't stock regularly or has an inactive owner.

And aside from that, people always bring up the 'nonrp' feel gk has given, shops similar to real life are just one of the things that would make it seem more like an online community than a chat room with avatars.
