Added shop owners from Cape Corinth Market, Medusa, PA Mall.

Bearlover · Feb 12, 2012

keep adding more shops. Great work

Thanks! It's crazy how many shops are unowned/unclaimed, and that's not even counting the shop locations that produce an 'internal error' message.

Rowan · Feb 12, 2012

Added Genesis Amethera Headquarters owners, such as they are.

Xander Catman · Feb 12, 2012

Great list!! Maybe it will inspire someone at MA to do something about the mess of unused shops everywhere. Not sure what they could/should do, but its a pretty sad state the way it is now.

Heh, unlikely, but there's always hope, right?

Apparently some of the inactive shops are bugged - it's not that the owners aren't using them. I'm not sure what's up with the 'internal error' ones.

Rowan · Feb 13, 2012

Added Omegaton owners. Current result: 71% inactive.

Dr.D.C. · Feb 13, 2012

actually worst than this. Of the active ones a lot of them are not restocked at all. Same items same prices...........

SODERD · Feb 13, 2012

Twin mall will probably raise the active %.

mastermesh · Feb 13, 2012

MA has mentioned something about a certain population needed per planet before they allow estates to be participant owned, but yes, it's very sad that it is as it is with so few shops actually active... especially when they said that they'd make more shops available in 2007, which is now 4 years ago!...

Post 221

Will there be more shops available at places like Genesis, Omegaton, Sakura?
Submitted by Violet

Click to expand...

Yes.

Click to expand...

Complain to MA about it and the best response you'll get is that the places are not 'claimed' or something like that... which may be partly true on some, but I suspect it's not true on a large majority of estates the estate broker owns still... and also on those that are giving the internal errors

AVALON2 · Feb 13, 2012

Great List Rowan!!!

Problem I am having is if I place a sign I cant put an ad on it...
Sent a Support Case a week ago no response...

Probably the reason so many owners inactive... Cant get answers...

Dr.D.C. said:

Yeah. I have no idea which ones are simply neglected and which ones the owners can't modify, so I'm being pretty lenient on defining 'active'.

SODERD said:

For sure, but it won't be enough to make up for Sakura and TI.

I'd wondered if maybe most of the errored ones were simply never set up to function because they didn't think there was enough of a player base. But Dessy owns one in a set of six, and the other five are errors...

Also, this addition of four new booths is a bit odd, with so many already established ones that they won't make available. Not that the Chateau as sweat area isn't interesting, but I'd like to see a bit more effort spent on fixing old content (yeah, yeah, I know I'm echoing about fifty thousand other threads, but still...). However, I'd like to point out that the deeds for those booths have yet to show up on auction either

That sounds like fun

And yeah, that probably explains a lot of the apathy.

Dr.D.C. · Feb 13, 2012

like i said, with the due exceptions, many shops where just brought like investment...in order to resell them. They can have some items inside but overpriced or with no market value or are used like a big storage...... with the due exceptions, this is valid i guess for a large part of the shops. And yes, this should explain a lot about shop updating in entropedia or entropiabay, low shop pubblicity etcetc

Dessy · Feb 13, 2012

Very nice list, great work!

The shops that give the internal errors have never been set up to function as shops, that is correct.

My shop is the only exception to that that I know off. The entire D-tower in Genesis hasn't been set up for shops.
I used to have shop C1 in the B-Tower, but after VU10 the shop locations got changed dramatically. I waited on the promised location fixes for more then a year.. and after that I suddenly got the news that because of the way the buildings are coded, they could not make the needed changes =(
As a solution, they agreed to make that D-tower shop usable for me (at a location similar to what I should have had) and replaced my old shop deed with that one.
So that's why I have the only working shop in the D-tower.
I hope MA will one day make the rest of the shops in the building usable though, I wouldn't mind a few neighbours.. or another shop next to my current one =)

PS. My old shop still shows my name on the terminal, but it is owned by MA now. I'm guessing they'll put it for sale again someday.

Buck Wyld · Feb 14, 2012

Trade center finally added to genesis (feb'12) maybe this will help a bit. I stopped bothering putting much in my gen shop after v10 because of all the bugs and no reason for anyone to come to gen tp

Dr.D.C. said:

While I can understand people doing this in the beginning, it seems kind of odd that they would still do it. With the attitude towards shops, with the bugs and all, they can't be making much of a profit. Or are they?

Dessy said:

Aha! Thanks for clearing up the mystery

That also shows that it's not all that labor intensive to make those shops usable.

True. Didn't it used to be the only TP on Amethera you started with? But that would simply provide new players with not much money, I suppose. And now that you can travel between Eudoria and Amethera, that would further cut traffic.

Rowan · Feb 15, 2012

Added Sakura owners. Counting disabled shops: ~74% are inactive. Not counting them: ~56%.

Rowan · Feb 19, 2012

Finished list. Final results:
459/620 shops, or ~74% of shops so far checked are inactive or unusable.

Not including disabled shops, which have never been available:
245/441 or ~56% are inactive

Rowan · Feb 20, 2012

I'd like to add notes on which shops are bugged, so if you know of a bugged shop, please let me know.

mastermesh · Feb 20, 2012

Good idea - I've added links to the first post in both threads, as well.

Updated some shops that changed status. Still looking for info on which shops are bugged.

Updated the Chateau. I haven't kept up with this very well, so if you've bought a shop and want it updated, let me know.

Updated (to the last couple months) all but Twins, Omegaton Tower C, and Medusa floor 4.

Emerald Lakes Floor 2 shop 7 is mine now, still operating it under the Zombie Armament name that sam was using when he moved down to floor 1 shop 1.

Shoot, I missed both you and Leland. Thanks for catching that!

Out of 620 shops and booths only 163 are active. So many unclaimed owned by estate broker or owned by inactive accounts! This awful. Places like Corinth could be awesome if all the booths could be active. Hope MA addresses it soon!
