By the way I removed my post, your post made mine look stupid haha.
I really like the way they did it with the Grand Exchange in Runescape. It would be awesome to have, but it's probably a lot of work to develop and a lot of users are needed to make it work correctly.
To be honest I hate the idea of donator shops littered around the spawn. If you were able to buy the ability to set up shops, I really don't think loads of people would donate for that - so personally as long there is a limit to the number you can make there is no problem. As for the location as I said I don't see the need for them to be around the spawn, just put them at your /home.Overall, it's a very nice idea but an unnecessary one. If it were to go through however there would be a small limit as to how many you place and you wouldn't place them at the spawn.These are my ideas anyway. (sorry if there are mistakes, I'm on my phone :p)

(sorry if there are mistakes, I'm on my phone :p)Oh many ppl will donate for shops, this have been implemented on many of the top minecraft servers and is in demand (justicecraft)It is very necessary, as at times theres only 7-10ppl only (3pm-6pm gmt+8) and it is very hard to sell or buy stuffs.Take note if the shop system were to be set up it will be more of a shopping mall then the whole spawn littered with tiny houses. It would be much easier for players to source out for a better bargain if it is located at the spawn, showcasing everything everyone is selling on opticraft. If you set it at ur /home, theres a danger for the shop to be trapped (eg buyer get killed after buying), also would u want to /home to everyone on opticraft just to find the cheapest cobble stones?
it's nice that you're still promoting your idea, but as I implied earlier in this topic, user-made shops are simply not an elegant solution. They litter the landscape, require a potentially buggy plugin, and need to be regulated to be useful. I can agree that the difficulty of trading items with other users is a problem, but please spend your time thinking of a more elegant solution. and it should NOT be tied in as any sort of donation reward. that is just dumb.in other news, with this explosion of population, the server is likely going to have to change the way chat works. something that is being looked at it implementing local chats, global chats, and potentially chat channels. this could easily allow an item-trading channel to be implemented. with so many people on now, it may just be an elegant solution.
i don't think just donators get to make a shop. how about that non donators get less land to make a shop. and mabey make another world called player shops for players to build shops on instead of a big mess where there are shops everywhere you go and no space to build a home.
Just set up a personal shop by your /home. Like t always has been. And go to it when you have time.
