Okay, scratch out all those ideas and do this:
make it so no one can BUY any item for 5 seconds.. so if someone puts a hat up for 5000 gralat, you can't buy it for 5 seconds.. giving everyone a chance to see the price first.
what are you talking about don't link the levels to houses? since when are they linked to houses?
Also, the reason the market lags is because of the npcs and people.. gee lets see:
each stand:
1 basket npc
1 table npc
1 green top npc
1 sign npc
6 item npcs
10 npcs a piece, plus 3 or 4 stands on the level means there are 30 to 40 npcs alone in the stands.. not to mention, lights, the railroad, and the TONS of items left in the basket.. we're talking about 70-80 npcs on the level not to mention the people, bomy pets, and anything they use to lag up levels (emoticons, bomy pets, torchs, any gani, etc)
THAT is why the market lags.. If you go in the market while it isn't busy, and the stands aren't full, and the baskets have been cleared, it doesn't lag.
