Ur Services and Business

Calling any Glitches who run a business or service in-game, especially if it's run out of your house or off your street!

This is the current map of Grand Circuit:

As you can see, we have quite a few connected houses now, and more are on the way. I'm now thinking it would be a great time to get anyone who runs a business or service to put their houses on Grand Circuit, and possibly set their house up to reflect that business or service. Run a day spa? How about a restaurant? Clever use of wallpaper, furniture and the place command from inventory can keep all your things safe from theft while you gleefully perform your service for your paying customers! 

Even if you don't run your service or business from inside your house, you may still want it listed just so other players know to track you down! Sell a lot of cubimals but don't want to actively harass people for em? USB provides a way for your customers to find you!

This is where the discussion is going to occur (thread is in the Grand Circuit of Houses of Ur Group):

Note that listing a business for now will either require a free demo or 100 currant fee. The free demo lets me see that you actually have a "something" that you're doing, before adding it to the map. The currant fee is an alternative that shows your interest in participating if you don't yet have something to show. I am also offering for 500 currants the ability to request a simple symbol that I'll place next to your house on the map as a logo. Unlike the majority of the items on the map these symbols will be unique, hence the cost. However, some free, non-unique symbols will be getting made too, so you might want to wait a bit ;).

Note that if you've joined Grand your house appears on the map even if you have no business or service you're offering.

  • Sounds great. I've set my house up as the MOBA (Museum of Bad Art) which featured in this little Outlaws story.
    Obviously I'm still working on the business model but hopefully can make money from donations and the coffeeshop.

  • I have all 11 icons on my street. I don't mind people using it, but I'd be grateful if people tithe them. Let's say use 3, tithe 1. Not sure if it's a kind of service, what do you think?

  • @ Geezereth - just be sure you've signed up to Grand group so I can track things there. Once you've been linked into Grand Circuit we can work out a demo if you wish, or you can just shoot me the currants. The demo is preferred but if you don't want to worry about that the currants will have you covered.

    @ lala - I don't think there's any way you'd be able to enforce it is the problem. I have you listed as an Icon Walk on the map IIRC; I'm hoping people just use them for giant love like I do which, AFAIK, is free. I recommend machine stops and icon walks leave their machines empty and their icons untithed, allowing passerby to use them if they so desire. I'd consider that more of a tourism point than a business.

  • Updated the map, now with some starter icons. Note that an attraction is for something that doesn't necessarily involve a trade of items or currants. Like if you've got a cool tour you run, that could be an attraction.
