I have always found it inconvenient that your shop closes every time you switch channel/account or crash, sometimes you forget to open it and get that tragic feeling of "I could have sold something during that time, now I have to offer this item for another 40 hours before it gets sold..."

 

Could it be made so that even when you go offline, the shop stays open for ~5 minutes before going down too? This effect could also be added to specialty shops and premium shops that have no offline time left.

Agree with you!

I found it ridiculous when I open normal shop and close it because I move to Black Claw Nest outpost. Of course Black Claw Nest outpost is not a town so I cannot open shop there.

I agree, but I have a feeling that this might be a client change, and not possible at the moment. I'd like to see it though.

Sorry for the delayed response. I have been pretty busy yesterday. 

 

I also agree that at least for channel changes (especially looking to the change to Ch. 100 for Elga, but also for the other situations) the shops could kept open. 

 

Sadly ManItsMike is totally right, it can't be done without client changes.

 

In case of crashes implementing such thing is even harder, because the client does not know if it crashes, how should the client set the shop to be opened offline then? Other way would be to implement this on the server side. I will write this suggestion down, but I feel that an implementation can't be done quickly.

 

Edit: Last time I tried to make microwave popcorn it burnt.  :heh: (real story)

Ha! Story of my life, the trick is to become one with the microwave.

It was suggested earlier, maybe give it a 5-10 minute grace period once the character goes offline (when changes can be made)

Edit: hats off to Precrush for the idea. *puts the hat back on* I didn't enchant this hat for nothing!

Ye I figured having a short permanent offline time would work for both crashes and changing channels. When you change channel it just logs you out and then back in to a different channel right? That's how I've imagined it work.

*high four with Precrush*

let's just wait then.

By the way, can we make Black Claw Nest outpost as a town? There is no really fighting mobs there and NPC everywhere.

The offline time is set by using the Good/Premium shop licenses. There is no possibility to set these durations automatically, for example after logging in, without any client changes. But I will write this down for future discussions.

We will look into it.
