This is kind of a double edged sword because I can already see players using high priority markers to advertise their business because "buh-huh business is important it's not an ad i'm notifying them about an event i'm doing".

This

 

But, I’m definitely not entirely against this idea.

Maybe the orange markers can't have visual posters attached to them?

Also, see if we can make it so if you press f3 and click the info marker, it pops up so we don't have to walk out of our way to read them

We can't detect collisions via F3 click thing because markers are not 'physical' objects - it can be done the other ways, but it might have negative impacts on the server (and maybe client?) performance itself. Not a high priority but I'll (maybe) look into it at some point.

Separate info markers into two different types. I am suggesting this because 95% of the info markers I have seen are always ads, making me ignore them in advance just as I ignore ads IRL. This type of behavior put all the other RP scenes that are marked with info markers into a bad position.:

 

1. [YELLOW] Low priority - posters, ads, flyers and whatnot.

2. [ORANGE] Higher priority - everything else that are not ads.

People will use 'higher priority' markers for low priority stuff anyways, finding an excuse. This is more of a 'rule revamp' type of thing than game server code change itself. Not coming, at least for now - L&A.
