Clear Out The Stores (And Maybe Other Houses Too)

[McKnighter]

Just found this. All of my love! Silvermoon's Bazaar has plenty stalls just added so... Please? Need more Sin'dorei normal houses.

[Bingles]

Maybe some more housing for Stormwinders ?

[Edgar]

Lovin' the idea. I vote yes.

Does this mean Ironforge dwarves might actually have shops to sell Blacksmithing goods in? :3

Gonna play devils advocate, as I'm apt to do!

What about people who'd seek to use said "blind spots" to do more nefarious things when the guards aren't "looking", meaning, what about those who'd abuse this? At this point, it's hard to walk into a shop and silently murder someone because, well, they are populated and one of the big no-no's of CoTH is to ignore NPC's.

Plus, that's a pretty big undertaking. I'd imagine that deleting and respawning characters and kiosks would probably cause a fair bit of lag.

Otherwise... it would be fun. It'd be nice to set up an inn or something for people.

It might be a good idea to just do a trial run first and open up a few stores in faction cities. See if people actually use them.

My only hesitance is that there are plenty of open stores and buildings in places like Stormwind and Silvermoon...And they rarely see use.

[Zenethen]

There's one open house in Stormwind, a few select shops of mostly bowyer/clothier stuffs, and one open building in Silvermoon :P The rest have vendors in the depths of the dungeons. I think opening up a few shops at least for different purposes then arrow and clothes would be cool.

I like the idea, but I don't think there's a need to clear all stores and buildings - or rather, there's not enough demand to justify it. Making sure there's at least a few open stores/houses in each capital should be enough and also easier to be done.

[Nikodemos]

I find the NPCs to be useful to RP rather than hindering more often than not... not to mention I generally buy my gear from merchants instead of .add gear to avoid carrying a suit of dugeon armor around in my bags all the time. I am in agreement that more NPCs in the streets would be a nice addition, however I would be concerned about additional processor usage. I'm not sure wether that would even be an issue however.

[Rigley]

The go-ahead has been given!

Though...

I would like some idea of what we'd like to see emptied and relocated. Many buildings in Silvermoon are a given, of course.

I don't feel the need to empty too much in Stormwind though-- there are two empty bars already, and there's an empty inn. So if you have any specific ideas those would be neat.

There is actually a good spot for this that I used to use for Axestorm Smithing. Any other Dwarven smithies could take advantage.
