Traders who have reached at least circle 30 are allowed to rent their own shops in the Market Plazas of Crossing, Riverhaven and Shard.

Renting a shop

There are a limited number of shops available at each Market Plaza. A good time to start looking for a shop to rent is the day that rent is due as there are usually one or two shops available due to the previous tenant being evicted. Ask other traders around the market about when the next end of pay period arrives.

For starters, visit the clerk in the main office of the plaza where you are seeking a shop and ASK CLERK about RENT. They will inform you if you are ready for a shop, then you can find a vacant shop in the market and RENT it. Make sure your debt is cleared before you attempt to rent your shop.

Commands and help

After renting your shop, head into it (after OPEN <shop entrance name - entrance, door, arch, etc>), and take a while to familiarize yourself with the SHOP command and HELP.

SHOP

The SHOP verb is the way that you interact with the various settings of your shop. The following options are available:

  • SHOP PRICE - Set the price for an item in your shop.
  • SHOP RESERVE - Reserve an item for a certain person to buy.
  • SHOP CUSTOMER - Shows you what your customers would see if they used the SHOP verb.
  • SHOP REMOVE - Removes an item from your table or a player from your shop
  • SHOP BLACKLIST - You can ban a person from your shop permanently.
  • SHOP SCHEDULE - Schedule times for your shop to be open when you're not there.
  • SHOP TIMERS - Change the timers for shop-related things, like blacklisting.
  • SHOP WIDTH - Modify the width of your ledger.
  • SHOP NAME - Change the name of your shop.
  • SHOP STATUS - Find out how your shop is doing.
  • SHOP CATEGORIES - Update the categories of items that your shop sells..

You can enter these commands by themselves for more information about how to use them.

See the SHOP page for more detail.

HELP

Shops are the pinnacle of achievement for any trader. While a shop might start small, its success (and influence!) can quickly become something of great renown. This help file is designed to help you navigate your shop and learn the different ways that it can be used. To access information on a specific topic, use the syntax HELP [TOPIC].

The available topics are:

  • BASICS - Get basic information about how a shop is run.
  • OPENING - Learn about opening your shop and keeping it open while you're away.
  • SURFACES - Learn about sales surfaces, and how you can acquire more and different ones.
  • MERCHANDISE - How to interact with your merchandise.
  • PEOPLE - Find out the unique capabilities of your shop when dealing with people.
  • BACKROOM - Find out more about what the back room is for, and what you can do with it.
  • EXPENSES - Learn about the different ways you can incur expenses for your shop.
  • EVENTS - What kind of random events can occur, and what you can do about them.
  • FURNITURE - How and where to get new furniture for your shop.
  • EVICTION - What you need to do to avoid being evicted if your shop goes into the red.
  • CLOSING - How to close your shop and what effects that has.

See the HELP page for more detail.

Rent

Note: Keep in mind you are running a business. If you mismanage it for an extended period of time, expenses can quickly spiral out of control.

The base cost of rent per month is 30 plat per month. The base cost is increased by the number of surfaces that you have as follows:

# surfaces Price
1 .75 plat
2 3 plat
3 6.75 plat
4 12 plat
5 18.75 plat
6 21.75 plat
7 24.75 plat
8 27.75 plat

After the total is calculated, the rent is scaled by location (Crossing is charged full price): Riverhaven: 50% Shard: 25%

This amount is then charged at the end of a pay period.

Pay periods are 80 Elanthian days, [or 20 RL days]. This is exactly two Elanthian months, and occurs at beginning of the first, third, fifth, seventh, and ninth months of every Elanthian year. When a pay period ends, several things happen:

- Your expenses are charged to your store's bank account.
- Your rent is also charged to your store's bank account.
- Your earnings are added to your store's bank account.
- Your expenses and earnings are reset in anticipation of the next pay period.

If your shop's balance of sales to rent is negative for too long, you may be evicted by the plaza owners. You may DEPOSIT any amount of money into your shop's bank account (while in back room) at any time, and may WITHDRAW any positive amount of money in the bank account as well. When you perform a withdrawal, the money is transferred directly into your local bank by a secured courier - No need to worry about thieves! You can also WITHDRAW #### POCKET to keep the money on your person.

Your shop's currency is the same as its local province - Kronars for Zoluren, Lirums for Therengia, etc.

Eviction

When you get evicted, a Plaza official will approach you with a similar message:

A Plaza official approaches you and says, "Your shop in <Town> has been in debt for too long, and your tenancy there has been forcibly ended. Your belongings will be stored in a Guild warehouse so that you can claim them later. Because of the tardiness of payment, you have been assessed a fee of <Price> <Currency>, plus an additional <Price> <Currency> in administrative fees. Good day, <Madam|Sir>." With that, the official takes his leave.

Retrieving your Belongings

  • Zoluren
Head over to the Administration Office at the Plaza entrance.
ask clerk for goods

Surfaces

At 30th circle, you will be limited to a single surface on which to place your wares. As you gain circles, you will be able to place more surfaces on your sales floor:

Circle Surfaces on Sales Floor Total Surfaces
30 1 1
40 1 2
45 2 2
50 2 3
60 3 4
70 3 5
75 4 5
80 4 6
90 5 7
100 5 8

Surfaces can be ADJUSTED in the back room to change the noun used to identify it.
