This is another roleplaying opportunity for all those out there. So, make sure you're following the rules of roleplaying here.

Also, you may buy some things, but understand that using real gold to buy something that you can't even see is silly. If a store owner is charging real gold for such invisible items, PM a Vice Captain immediately. Never give out real gold for transactions here.

Stores can be closed by the title being edited to say "Store Name ~ Closed". Store owners have the ability to close it if they can no longer be on the computer; they do not have to stay at the computer everyday at certain hours. Closing the store allows for real life freedom without having to be at your store for long periods of time.

Open your store whenever you have a moment to just sit and let people come in and out of it and buy things.
