Welcome to the public auction of these three Shopping Malls in conjunction with the release of Version Update 8.8! The Update will be announced a few days beforehand.
Wow this looks very cool. I hope this indicates good things are coming back into EU. And sounds like Amethera has expanded a little more also. :)
I hope they are visited more often than those in the CND shopping mall. And the looks if it are great! :ok: I want one ! *Checking bank account: ... Hmmm.. better go for something else.
I think they're a great idea. It's always been too hard to find shops, and this will hopefully make it easier. I do feel sorry for the existing shop owners though - their investments have just gone in the bin... :(
Shopping Malls 14 Dec 2006 Shopping Malls Hi, A few extra points about the upcoming Shopping Malls auction. 1. When the auction is over, the new owner will receive all the deeds for the shops in the Mall. 2. The Maintenance Fee for shops in the Malls will be greater than for existing shops in order to support trade in the already existing shopping areas. By the way, that was only a little preview of VU 8.8. We have lots more content on it's way. Regards, Development Team
Scary.. more places to shop, Me who cant visit auction without something extra in my inventory already...now i probably have to deposit a little shopping peds every month also :D
This is great and it will be fun tolookaround these new places - but I can't help feeling sorry for those guiys who coughed up a lot of cash for the now less accessible, small and remote shops that barely anybody wil bother with any longer. Surely this is just another sgn that MA are trying to do mega-deals instead of working on the grass roots of the EU economy: traders, crafters etc. So, I definitely have a mixed reception for this and evenless so now would I inestin virual property just to have the rug pulled from under me!
