    It would be really nice if we could buy a regular store permit from the NX store. The aspect I really like about the regular store permit is that it requires users to stand there which adds a lot of value to the social aspect.

    From a game perspective:
    1) It allows MapleLegend players a higher oppertunity to get better FM spots. (It allows a lot of FM rotation)
    2) People may argue that they don't like leaving their computer on, but I think that's what allows a lot of FM spots to open up and allows people to rotate good spots.
    3) It also frees up crowded maps. (I haven't seen this problem yet, but when MapleLegend scales, popular maps will be crowded. This allows people to decide whether to train or sell)

    From a marketing perspective:
    1) It will show more online users which is great for marketing
    2) It will make FM feel more alive. In FM all we see is shops. In my opinion FM is a great gathering place as well because it's easily accessible from most cities. Usually what I see is people hanging around people who have a regular store permit whether it's their friends or buyers to sort of hang out since the seller can't leave.

    There's probably a lot more I forgot to mention as well, but hopefully you'll consider this!

    I doubt people would buy them since you get a perm Hired Merchant for only 5.9k NX.. Really no use in adding regular permits.

    I don't see why not. We can keep the hired merchants and just add the regular store at a lower price. More options, and might mix things up a bit.
    And yeah, I'm tired of all the chalkboards, they're pretty pointless and annoying. Aren't match cards enough?

    I was surprised to learn that this is currently missing, just thought you never see them because people don't use them. Anyway this is a good suggestion. It's something that was in the original game and is missing right now even tough the server is supposed to be nostalgic. It also will have a small but positive effect on the community and noone is affected by it's addition in a negative way. This is probably the best suggestion I've seen in like a year.

    If the server becomes big enough, having too many players just afking at fm to sell items will reduce performance and increase lag.
    So I don't think this is a good idea.

    The only problem that would come up is that people will start to sell there spots.

    Definitely there are pros and cons and I definitely think it's a hard call to make because finding that perfect balance is hard.

    With the ease that hired merchants bring, I don't see a real point of implementing this unless we remove hired merchants.
    Especially since they are permanent.

    This would be a pointless update. I appreciate the effort to circulate the market more, but they are too impractical and will never be used. Forget leaving your computer on- you need to sit your character in one spot. Who's going to do that? Nobody. They were only ever useful in GMS because of their fantastic time limit relative to cost. Here, it'd just be silly to use one. Why bother add them at all?

    Because of the permanent hired merchants, there's definitely less value in the store permits. Although I'm surprised that the hired merchants are permanent.
