Have you all seen how the cities of Orsha, Klaipeda and Fedimian are always full of inactive players selling their services?
This causes a lot of lag in the cities and it greatly disturbs the game at least in my opinion.
I remember that in the game Ragnarok, there was a npc that teleported the player to a place where there were only sellers and the commerce in the main cities was prohibited just to avoid lag.
Here’s my idea.
Create a place that all the shopkeepers of the game are selling their services, and put a npc to take the interested player to this place. This would also be good to prevent these lag producers from getting in the way of the npc of the dungeons.

Corrected you, don’t thank me.
I had no problems while moving through Prontera on iRO.

lag is due to poor state of client, needs more optimization.
Sure doesn’t smell like bias to me.
While that is excellent for you, not everyone will have the same experience.
The difference is that in RO merchants sold items and gears. In TOS merchants provides buff/repair services, having to teleport to a specific map to get them would be a hassle, as town provides everything you need before going back to grinding/questing/whatever.
Sacrifices must be done for a better world young one!
I’d rather drag myself through a town with 1000 player shops to buy my town buffs than have to sit through another loading screen to get into the highlander master’s house to buy a buff and go back through the same load screen before getting back to the warp statue.
Shops cluttering the towns isn’t great, but this band-aid approach isn’t great either.
Better world in your point of view 
. Some people may approve the idea, others deny it.
So what would your idea be for the major cities to stay clean without that bunch of inactive players making your pc have a monstrous lag? It is not enough to criticize, and it is necessary to formulate ideas!
I thought I told you to never look back, what happened?
I dunno, stick everybody’s shops onto a billboard that you can interact with and scroll through all the listings. But it’d only do that for town shops, so players can still set up shops out in the wild.
And who are you to deserve my consideration, may I ask?

Is OP confusing lag with reduced fps?
Lag is not caused by player shops. It is caused by the tcp data being passed as a real(logged in) player is loaded at the edge of the screen.
Doing something with the vendors would only improve anything for people with poor PCs that are affected due to the player models on screen.
Literally every single player model in Klaipeda is less taxing on player PCs than a Sorceror with 100 bats summoned. So it’s kind of not a major thing to bring up. Should see what happens when several Sorcs get together.
I have no idea what planet sebastian is on. He complained about p2w before the update, then he laughed and said those cubes weren’t p2w after they released, now he’s back p2w? Flip flops so much.
Realistically, the poly count, texture size, animation size are incredibly small on those bats and I say that 10 bats is about the equivalent of 1 player character.
So, you’re nobody trying to impose what other people should write? And you even retract like a chicken deleting your comment? C´mon, I don’t even recall your nickname. Please, think it twice before trying to mess other’s free speech, You can’t cross that line, buddy.

I never imposed on you what you should write, that never happened stop spreading misinformation. I retracted my comment because it didn’t contribute to anything. This is what I wrote:
It had nothing to do with courage, I don’t see why you need Ad Hominen, it does not make your arguments look better. Wether you recall my username is irrelevant since you can just look a few centimeters up from my comment to see it spelled out for you.
This has nothing to do with free speech, I don’t know why you even brought it up? It’s pretty clear that you are desperately trying to start fights with anyone, I’m merely suggesting that you don’t waste your time being toxic for the sake of it.
I won’t even bother to read all that that bla bla bla from someone I don’t ever register. Just be advised, don’t try to mess with other people’s free speech because that’s a wall you can not cross.
I don’t know what you are on about. Good luck with that I guess.
So, if I want to ofend someone by using my ‘free speech’, is that cool?
In topic: Some game have the ‘hide other people chars’. Wouldn’t that help a bit?
I never know if it’s my internet thats crappy or the game that is lagging… >.<
I wish IMC would at least prohibit shops too close to certain NPCs so that I can actually click on them. Just the warp statue, storage, market and mercenary NPCs would be fine I guess.
Sometimes I need to change channels in order to use the warp statue without having to change my input mode.
Mouse Mode is hell for interacting with NPCs in town.
