but if you're going to be making stores much more valuable by making it a real job.. could you please take away the catalog from all other categories? make it so that only people that own stores have access to the catalog.. i think that's what will make it quite important, as well.

No I don't think so, what is a house owner supposed to do if he needs something and not a single store is open (as has happened HOW many times that we've heard about on the boards) or there are stores open but the people running them are all AFK and either circumventing the timeout feature or just plain not paying attention to what the hell is going on? If it were set up where store owners could not hold their stores open afk, then maybe....until then I for one do not want to be forced to have to hand my simoleans over to someone who isn't even there to receive/earn them.

this is why i think we need a merge. it would a whole new game. merge all the cities, only give the store owner's access to the catalog.. sounds perfect to me.

Making it all one city would not help at this point during the US non-peak hours with the numbers as low as they are. Maybe if they were where they were 18 months ago, but not now. And that still does not take care of the afk store-owner problem. The one solution I can think of to that would be if the whole system was more interactive, so that the owner/roomies actually had to WAIT on customers, rather than being able to set out a lot full of merchandise and walk away or daydream while raking in the simoleans.
