Fair point but i think a more official thing would encourage more people to get involved and thus create more rp, especially for people new to the server.
I was thinking maybe one day a week have an area on the map marked as the market and players can meet up too trade goods. Maybe you could work some way for people to hire stalls at so much per hour?
Pros: Lots of rp opportunities and a good thing to help people sell their goods.
Cons: I don't...
