Eestino Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) There are no real grocery stores that sell (goods) or (consumables), I'm not talking about 24/7s, I want to buy pretty mundane stuff for RP's sake or simply to rp cooking but all it boils down to is usually /charity and I don't wanna go to Davis mall to get some spaghet. Also there are no vehicle rental places for boats, I see lots of people buying boats to only use 'em once or twice, if there were rental places maybe they'd rent one? I for one am looking to rent a Marquis because that shit is expensive but can't find any place doing that for the life of me. It's all (night/strip)clubs, and bars, they're often boring, bland, too similar or have identity crisis trying to be too many things at once so I mainly stick to the calmest ones where I know I can get some chill roleplay and vibes out of them, would love to see more love for other businesses and new business models such as the bookstore in Mission Row. If people really care about the OOC/IC moneygrind then they should focus on new business models more than most instead of copy pasting the same thing, as of right now anyone making a proper grocery store with goods will hold a monopoly over an untouched venue.

ScarletRose Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) Everyone is against bars and clubs and are constantly asking for other types of businesses to open. Problem is, when these other businesses do open, nobody goes to them. Especially if its a unique business that isn't your run of the mill club/bar. The problem is not the lack of other businesses opening. It's the people who are choosing to go to bars and clubs over those other businesses. It's unfortunate that it has to be like this. People on the server will prioritize going to a generic bar or club over going to a unique business that would bring unique RP experiences. Edited September 21, 2021 by ScarletRose 6 Link to comment

I been to restaurants or caffes, they are almost always empty. I also like themed bars and clubs, which are rare and most importantly arcades. Those are my favorite. Link to comment

I've seen unique businesses try to open and make it work, but no one ever shows up. They last a week or two and then they're gone. People harp about wanting different businesses to visit but will prioritize a bar or club every time. It really does suck. Link to comment
StiffChocl8 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Even a slight variation to the regular food businesses, like an active food truck, would be a very welcome change. Link to comment
EMC Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 It's called supply and demand. 1 Link to comment
fortyfive Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 not much players are in favor with unique concept, so they tend to just go on the well-adapted ones. Link to comment
thelostart22 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Okay here is a hot take on businesses. Some people open new businesses concept thinking it will bang but basically their "new concept" is just selling something uncommon so the rp provided here in its essence remains: Customers gets in: hello I buy this Seller: this amount of dollars please Customers: bye And then businesses owners are so very surprised the boom their idea created didn't sustain and that people don't come to their store anymore. So how to turn around this situation? Make businesses that provide an interesting service and rp experience rather than just selling script items. Here are a few ideas: Tailoring, I'm sure this had been done before, the idea being to rp the measurements and make each player coming in feel special and having their own unique rp from the business. Funerary services, organising burial ceremonies or such, in a city like ls this would certainly be useful. Pampering rp, hairdresser, etc, try to imagine the experience you'll provide to your customers. I've seen laundromat open before and I thought it was very cool but the experience was nothing more than self service and paying. So yes it provided a new scenery and hub for rp to take place in but it gets old rather fast. 1 Link to comment
Ketamine Kowboy Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Everyone complains, but few actually go to the "unique" businesses. Don't expect others to take the leap if you're not willing to. Link to comment
Rushing Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I guess people want to do /anim ravedance29 and go AFK, then do it 3 hours later at a different club. Link to comment
