    The "old" market was much better and more efficient. While lag was more significant, I think a redesign on the current market would address some issues that exist.

    1. Close shops are too big. They destroy competition for the farther shops with their size and ability to hold hundreds of signs/items. Make the shops smaller to increase competition, while still having the close shops hold a significant advantage.

    2. The layout is boring. Four lines emitting from a single point. The "old" market, being aesthetically hard to look at, was more strategic in terms of shop placement.

    3. There are only 3, really 2, shops size varieties. Only 2 types, really one type, of layout to have in a shop. In the "old" market there were 5 or 6. This adds a much more interesting element for the shop owners in how they design and categorize their shops.

    —
    I see a fundamental problem with the market and it’s shops. They’re too big.

    Something that made the old market so great was how small it was. Yes lag, obviously. But the ability to quickly hop from shop to shop and compare prices was amazing. That’s completely gone in this new market, and should be brought back. /warp doesn’t really provide that in the same way.

    A market design competition would be a lot of fun, especially since we haven't had one in a while

    What would happen to the current 1st 2nd 3rd spawn shop owners. Do they lose their position?

    Last time the prime shops were moved into the prime spots in the new market. It's why the current market has a terrible numbering system.

    I endorse this idea. I'm sure creative minds could have several creative ideas on how to format the market.

    I'd certainly be all for it.

    Once upon a time there was a market building competition. It never concluded. The end.

    We're still having it, the problem is trade signs, so we're going to fix them first. Then finish the competition

    I don't see why you wouldn't finish the competition then. I mean, you could already have a market ready to put into the server if you finish it. Then when you have fixed the trade signs on whatever is wrong with them, you can put in the new market.

    Because the system we're designing is completely different, and is built from the ground up, meaning that the aesthetic choices are completely different.

    I did not know that you guys were developing a new system. That changes my opinion.

    Radical suggestion but maybe get rid of the block shop with market stalls and make the shop system in there.
    Just a thought.

    At the very least, the people who entered the market build competition should be rewarded :/

    Those builds took lots of time and planning to do. It's a shame that even several months later the rewards still haven't been payed out.
