i'll go along with the format, but still.
What do you think is the problem & solution for the problem?
Well, more scripted options that will lead us into opening more businesses.
For example, people are saying that there are a lot of bars and its getting tiring, right? Okay, yeah, i can see that.
But on the other hand, we don't really have the option to open up other things that ables us to provide things to the community other than roleplay (texts, chat, /mes /dos)
For example -
•Opening up a tattoo shop > Giving the owner (aka the tattoo artist) the permission to /tattoo others (or give them the choice to, like /servedrink l guess?)
and opening up a parlor - lots of people got tattoos so, they can come over, have a whole session of hanging out, getting the sketch, giving the tattoo and all that and bam, script-wise, the customer can /tattoo himself and he got it IC and OOC.
•Opening up a barber shop > Same idea with the tattoo shop. RP cutting the hair and stuff like that, people can icly come work as cleaners and shit..
Point is that there is already scripted stores, right? Even gas stations and such.
So, let players (atleast some of them) hold some of those businesses with the script options.
In addition - Other than those shops, i trust there are more suggestions, but, the issue here is that we can't put it out to life, to physically have it and not NPC it in /do
Like the offer of the paintball > Opening up a paintball is an amazing idea, but the owner should have the option to hand out specific guns and a specific map and all that,
if he opens it now it'll probably be with our owned guns and turning it into paintball with /me's...
A bar needs only /setstation and /servedrink, the players do the rest.
I think if there was more businesses like those, not only more players would join because theres more things to do - but more players would join to try and OWN those businesses since it will give them things to do.
