The Economy..

[fireb4llz]

I don't think we should entirely remove the option for players to have their own shops. If players want to provide a cheaper alternative to buying from the server shop, then they should have that choice. Some people find it fun to run their own shops.

Well, consider what Penguin just said:

Consider this example: At a shop, an iron ingot costs 8 dollars. At the server shop, it's 13 dollars. If the sell price at the server shop is also 13 dollars, why would the shop owner even bother stocking it if he can get more money from the server shop?

Besides, The only players I can think of that actually run a shop are Justin and Pigpenguin.
