The Bazaar
|
The Bazaar is a dimension branching off of Yggdrasil that houses player-owned shops. These shops are located on plots, and each plot can be claimed as an outpost through Towns. The only structures in The Bazaar that remain constant are its streets, as players can alter the structures on plots as they please.
The Bazaar is laid out in 9 groups of 9 plots, totaling 81 plots. Players will spawn on the southwest intersection, facing north. From there, you are free to browse shops as you please. You can check which town owns each plot by walking over the plot you want to check, or by using /towny map big to view a map of plots in chat. You can hover over each plot to reveal its owner and claim date.
How to use shops
Player shops in Blockgame are currently managed by the QuickShop plugin. Information on using and creating shops can be found on the Chest Shops page. The plugin used has changed in the past, and could change again in the future.
How to claim a plot
As Bazaar plots are managed by Towns, you must be the mayor of a town or a trusted member of someone else's town to claim a plot in The Bazaar. When claiming a plot, your town's balance must meet or exceed 2500 coins. To claim a plot, enter /towny claim outpost on top of the plot you wish to claim.
Often, plots are already under the ownership of an existing town. If you still want to use one of these plots, you have a few options: request permission to be trusted on the plot by the current owner, allowing you to place chest shops of your own or arrange a deal to buy the plot from the previous owner for a specified amount.
You may occasionally spy a Bazaar plot owned by a town about to go into ruin, or when the town balance exceeds its debt cap. Once this happens, the town, and by extension any Bazaar plots it owns, will open to the public to be looted and griefed including any chest shops active at the time. 72 hours after the town goes into ruin, any plots previously claimed will quickly reset. This includes Bazaar plots, meaning players can dilligently watch the plot for the moment it goes down, and swoop in to claim it.
