The Mall. Old Shops-Old Locotations

Aaah. The mall. Back during the summer of 2015, nearly every player on Era was jumping out of their pants for the mall to open. Many were disappointed when they discovered the mall turned out to be nearly %50 of the old shops. Below is a a few reasons why the old shops should be moved back, and have the mall tweaked.

-The old locations where the old shops used to be are now empty and abandoned. In my opinion this makes the game looks unprofessional with lack of content and bareness. I mean, at least replace these old buildings with something

-The blimp that was above Lokkis Hats was moved to the Dippin Donuts. Really? The DONUT shop. That makes no sense at all why a donut shop has a staircase leading to a blimp with Lokki style hats.

-the old shops do not match their size on the outside. Shops like Lokkis Hats are 5 times the size of the space they are on the outside near the entrance.

-some of the old shops have windows that look like they go into the other shops. Like why would they do that?

-The theme of the interior old shops simply does not fit the mall style

-The walk all the way to the bottom of SouthRidge is too far for a few hats. Plus you must avoid being pked on.

-Navigating the mall is just awful. The map provided gives a player no direction what so ever. I could get I the old shops faster

-It's just not an idea that makes shopping more efficient at all. I don't see how moving stores that were closer to you in the first place farther away and abandoning the buildings they were in.

Possible Reforms-

-Move old shops back, replace with new shops

-Move mall closer to Start and not so far out in the ocean

-Replace the old shop locations with new shops

I really hope moving the old shops into the mall was just so admins had more time to create new shops to put in the mall, because so far the mall has little use at all. It's not even crowded as the old shops used to be.

They won't undo the mall, considering how much work went into it in the first place. Also, they will most likely make use of the unused buildings on the map once all the already scheduled projects are completed.

I agree but i dont think staffs would want to waste their time to move it back.

As Gino said, they won't undo something that took Bitz a while to make. It's like if you ask for Coop to remove CS, after all his hard work for the project, I doubt it'll happen.

Leave the Mall as it is, and the far location isn't a problem neither ways, because you can simply walk over there. It takes few minutes, and it isn't much of a hassle. I think your fingers can hold the screen for 3 minutes or so, right?

You make really good points, i think they should move the mall closer to start.

They should just move the arte shops into the mall

That's even a dumber idea. Then we have to walk there...it's already convenient so why do you want to make it inconvenient. This whole thread is basically about conveniences and you just messed up it's vibe. Like, don't you have the memo?

The whole Arte project would have no purpose and lose the park's value.
No.

i mostly know they shops from where they were but like they can put old shops back and add new ones that we never saw

Name an old shop that doesn't exist now.

Just add a better store location guide in the mall.
Solves all problems you have.

I'm not asking to undo any of the work done at all. I'm simply stating that moving the old shops into the mall was not the greatest idea and should be moved back and replaced with new shops. I'm not even asking it to be worked on right now, but if we can add new stores, such as the French Toast Shop, why not take those and replace it with the old ones?

Walking to the mall isn't always holding your screen for 3 minutes. You must cross through Southridge somehow because of the mall's location. Thus you must avoid dying or end up warped to the hospital and retrying. Those who choose to cross the bridge will dye many times, with out without revive. This complicates the travel to the Mall.

A excellent location would be next to the park behind the hotel The area there has little to no use (excluding the occasional stop for a trash-picker or mushroomer. There is also a street that leads off into that area which would make a perfect connection to the mall. I like this idea simply because it is closer to Start and does not change/modify much that causes problems. Conviently, there is a subway station near it too.
(Will get pictures of this area, images not responding)

Taking the train wouldn't kill you.
Asking a friend who has revive for a ride in their car, neither.

By the time the train picks you up, and drops you off at the right destination you could have been there by walking. Cars are even worse as you have to cross the bridge and pkers and easily stop the car and kill you. Then the driver has to get in their car again and invite you, all while not getting killed again by that pker.

You do realize you don't need to cross the bridge, right? That's why iEra has an ocean to swim through... Especially with the ice right now, it takes a less amount of time than walking on road.

^^^ Exactly, it's relatively easy to get there by swimming. Also I don't understand how putting another thing near start is a good idea it's already a laggy bunch of pretty much every one in the game pking (it's near impossible to get across the street in start because of it) and just standing there doing nothing bored out of their minds for some reason. Honestly sticking something away from start gives people another reason to you know, Actually explore and move around the city and makes start a bit less laggy and a bit less impossible to navigate without dying by spreading the craziness around.

You can't access the mall by water. At least by the ways I have found

I'm not asking to shove it right splat in the middle of Start. The mall is not a crowded area and neither is the forest behind the hotel. If you have trouble getting out of Start simply use the bubble system or sewer system. Or simply go out the gate in the Start Park.

You can, by water.
Swim across the map to South or swim from the left side of iEra's map and go all the way down till you see the Mall.

Gonna be harsh but just remove the mall, maybe eventually just make new shops and once most of the rooms are filled then re-release it.

I guess the old shops that was removed will be new shops like weapon shops etc...

I understand what you mean but cs and era mall are just not in the same lane don't compare lol

And maybe moving the mall to the other side of the bridge would be fine like opposite of the mansion that would be pretty cool

they want to make it become rare

Here's a better Idea: swap the mall and hotel.
Or maybe expand the era city minimap once everything else is done

I agree with this

I don't understand how moving the mall is this tempting idea you anyone, or just taking it out of the game either. What is so horrible about this mall? Really it doesn't take forever to get there (just swim down the left side of the map and you can get into it easily) and I like the idea of shoving a bunch of shops together in one place. So please tell me why instead of adding new things to the game or doing a million other things to improve Era, that the admins must move or delete or do whatever else you all want to it, because I can't think of a reason.

I like where the ho-- You have a point... Hotels are pretty luxurious. Having a Hotel by a gun shop and some sailor's building isn't luxurious at all.

Yeah the areas dont match the two areas. If they were to swap the places to it's appropriate regions then please add a parking lot for both. Thanks
