In GMS, it was impossible to have overlapping stores. I suspect that it is easy to implement, as the previous server I played had this problem initially, but then when somebody requested it was changed, it was fixed in a day or 2. Then threads like this would be redundant. http://royals.ms/forum/showthread.php?t=8892
Lol. I tried to do this a month ago. I miss typed the distance (1.200 instead of 12.000), and thought it didn't work. Gg. Fixed now.
I'd actually vote for lowering the distance between shops. FM has become really crowded IMO the last few months, and I seriously think people don't give a damn and don't even bother searching for FM >10 or something. If the shops were closer to eachother, more would fit in the better FM rooms, and business would increase.
I'd be for this, so long as everyone's IGN and store name can be properly seen. Good idea. I'm definitely one of those people that usually don't give a damn unless I'm looking for a specific item.
If 50% more shops could be fitted into one FM room, then people might stop searching at FM6 for example.
