The Merchant District in Regalia has recently been a major eye sore as well as a logistical horror for the entire staff. Ranging with problems from half of the stalls not being used due to being terrible placed, to many other shops having too low prices and others having too high prices. When Regalia was originally conceived, the merchant district was symmetrical and had an algorithm to the placement of the shops and stalls in relation to the size and distance of the customer’s walking time. Sadly during it’s original concept, a radical change of the road net was pushed trough by some staff members because the district did not look “medieval or pretty enough”. We have theorized for several weeks on how to solve these problems, but could not come up with a good solution to them. Because of this, we took the radical decision of clearing out the entire Merchant District of Regalia on the 7th of August because we see no other alternative to restructuring the district and changing the prices.

• There will be no refunds on market rent region costs
• There will be no refunds on player to player transactions. We are aware many shops were traded in between players for thousands of silver, but we never supported this franchise to begin with.
• All shops will levelled and cleared permanently after the 7th of August, anything left inside the shop will be gone forever.
• It is up to the players owning the shops to clear their shop before hand.

We regret having to make this decision, but there is no other alternative to solving the problems that will only progressively grow worse as time goes by, and feel this is a high necessity.
