It would be amazing if there was an option to purchase a billboard or hire an add barker that advertises your new establishment, or perhaps an event you're organizing to the lovely locals. For example, i recently came across this lovely place that had everything an adventurer such as myself, needed to get back to smoting my enemies nestled deep within the DWB, i believe it was called the Spiceville Mall!

If there was a billboard advertising this wonderful place (on Dantooine, just NE of the Mining Outpost btw super easy to get to) it would have saved me literal years of searching.

With restrictions of course like limited to account, not character, 7 day cooldown customizable message etc.

*These thoughts are my own, I have no affiliation (yet) with the Spiceville Mall/Spiceville Cantina or it's affiliates: this is not a paid request. All joking aside it would be nice to have some billboards.

I will endorse this if I can mute it and never hear about this forsaken place again.

Thank you for the suggestion. First of all, I appreciate the very subtle and completely unbiased mention of the Spiceville Mall. I’m sure the marketing department there had absolutely nothing to do with this post.

The idea of billboards or hiring an ad barker to advertise player shops or events is actually a pretty fun concept. Having a way for players to promote their establishments around the galaxy could help newer players discover places they might otherwise miss. Clearly, as you mentioned, some adventurers have spent literal years wandering the desert of Dantooine before stumbling upon the thriving metropolis that is Spiceville.

Now, while some individuals may publicly complain about places like the Spiceville Mall, we all know the truth. Certain people loudly protest it in public… and then quietly show up later to buy buffs, supplies, and probably a decorative lamp or two. I’m not naming names, but if someone named Tank happens to be seen browsing the aisles there, we will of course treat that information with the utmost discretion.

All jokes aside, it’s a creative idea and we’ll pass it along for consideration. Player driven commerce is a big part of the game, and systems that help people find shops and events are always worth discussing.

Thanks for the suggestion and the laugh.
