    Alright, we have had quite a few suggestions on the topic of owls and the problems concerning searching FM.

    However, I have an alternative solution, that:
    • wont stress the server much
    • wont disturb the economy in mesos or NX
    • will still have players searching FM for the item they need
    Solution:
    I suggest we implement some sort of SQL code in the game, which allows info from the FM shops to be pulled out of the game by the staff.
    Then we make a webpage where you can look through a database of all the items currently for sale in FM. (This is not alot of work, I could probably make this half asleep)
    The catch is that you will only be able to see Item name & Price.
    You wont be able to see
    Shop placement, Shop name or Shop owner.
    We add an ingame button that directs you to the webpage, for easy access.
    We limit seaches to a maximum of 5~7 searches per IP and account a day.


    How will this affect FM use:
    This way players are still forced to roam through FM to buy a specific item or buy an owl.
    This would also solve the problem with players not knowing prices of items, and would help further stabilising the economy, and help less newcomers getting ripped-off.


    This is not nostalgic!?
    But it is though! This solution have many similarities to Basilmarket, which had a big influence on trading in GMS.

    Feedback
    Please give me some feedback, I've been thinking of this solution for a very long time.
