Markets

There's only one meal vendor in the game.   I know miners can buy at auction, but I think it would be neat to have a small defined area on a single street in each region that is reserved for (no spawns) and recognized as (small icon on map) a market.   It wouldn't require any real programming work - just a series of raised tufts big enough for a glitch with a price list at their feet.

  • Might be a slight crowding problem. I mean, how often do you try and click on a pig or tree and get the options for someone standing in the foreground?

    But I otherwise like the idea. (Perhaps instead of tufts, we could have a merchant 'balloon' that floats in plain sight like other vendors.)

  • If you view the world map, you'll see that Ix and Uralia aren't the only islands in Ur- there are a whole bunch of them! Perhaps one of those islands could be 'vendor island' with one of the special vendors like the scarecrow, tool, meal, toy, and mining vendor on each street!

    EDIT: perhaps Uncle Friendly, Helga and Snocone Vendor could make appearances on Vendor Island as well!
