If possible, you could add "PC bang points" to get offline shop. The more time a player stay logged, he can buy offline shop "time" with those points. (Ex: 1 hour of gameplay = 10 PC bang points. Which could be equivalent to 2 hours of offline shop) So you're forcing people to leave their computer on (to earn points) just so that they can turn around and shut it down with a shop up? Just allow offline shops, why keep such a great feature from your players? Don't force us to leave our computers on, that shouldn't be part of the game. It will solve problem with a lot of ''Dead'' traders . But by the way - a lot of traders not bad
