How often do player run shops get removed when someone leaves GS anyway before that spot is open for someone else to use?

I was gone for a significant length of time and was surprised when I returned and my shop was still intact. I'm sure it probably matters that I was paying during the timeframe, but I never logged in.

> NEVER!

'Never' is currently correct.

The overhaul I'm working on will fix that. Shops will once again become abandoned if they are not visited for three months or if their rent is behind by three months. Evictions, and the release of the space for a new shop, will follow the abandonment process at TBD period intervals. The overhaul is not yet ready for release, but I will give you at least a month's notice before the abandonment checking process resumes.

If a shop is abanded by an active character do the shop funds/items get put on the desk of the deed office?


If a shop is abanded by an inactive character (ex: durfin in prime), will the shop funds/items be put in the pawnshop or sit on the desk at the deed office indefinately?

I wish I would have known before I gave away my shops and left, I would have still have them. Ah well, I need someplace to sell small items that I really don't want to charge a lot for.

I'm not sure what you mean by active/inactive characters in this situation. We don't distinguish between active and inactive accounts.

The way the system worked was that if you got behind by 3 months on the rent, the shop was reclaimed.

If you didn't visit your shop for 6 months, the shop was reclaimed.

Items from reclaimed shops are put in a box for that character in the shop permit office. They were held for 3 months before being deleted.

While putting this stuff in the pawn shop is an interesting idea, for various reasons, I can see it being a bad course of action.

These time frames and policies are subject to change.

would hate to have unique stuff forever lost to the ether...

how about a massive warehouse for unclaimed stuff, put up for 1/3 the loresing value (everyone knows loresong values can be inflated).

you could limit the items to only include those over 250k in base silver value.
