Shopkeeper's Application

So you are interested in the taxing position of shopkeep, are you? Well then let us make this as short and sweet as possible!

Step One: Create a character application that includes a shop. You do not need to go into the details of the shop itself, but please include information of the type of shop you own, the location of the shop, and how being a shop owner effects your character.

Step Two: After your character has been accepted, visit the SHOPS! claim page on the forum to make a claim. If you fail to claim the shop after making the character, it will still be considered open for grabs, so do not forget this very important step!

Step Three: After your claim has been made, you will want to edit the wiki page for your shop. Please note that while creating wiki pages is optional, we highly recommend that you give it a go. If you are creating your own version of a shop, you will want to create a new page. The title of the page will need to be the name of your shop. If certain shops that important to gameplay are not claimed after a month or so, we will assign names to the shops. If all of the shops have already been named, you may ask an admin to rename the shop, or just go with it.

Step Four: The actual editing begins here. Try to include as much information about your shop as possible. Get creative here! You can add floorplans, pictures, and even an inventory list for the merchandise you currently sell. Although we will not have a money system for actual virtual purchasing, shops provide a whole new place to role play. Of course, you are not required to role play only in your shop! (Unless you are bound to that location for being a blood traitor. And if that is the case, then you couldn't own the shop!) Being a shop keeper doesn't have to be a full time job.

Step Five: Put your shop in the Workplace category so that other members will be able to find it easily.

That is all there is to it! If you have an existing character that is transitioning to being a shop owner, merely skip the first step, but don't forget to claim the shop on the appropriate forum page.
