The Red & Purple Mini Mall ~ Est. Fall 2001 ~
OVER 83,000 visitors, for a stand alone mall!
It's true... if you want to do good business on Atlantic, you have to get away from the super-lag of overpriced Luna. It also helps if you join an established mall that offers space to anyone willing to make some gold. Way too common right now, we are seeing a rash of "fly-by-night" malls coming and going almost every other day. Importers bringing goods from other shards, as well as ambitious home grown mall owners who work hard to buy bigger houses. Still, we end up with runes to a good new place 1 week, that's gone the next. You can easily join an established mall for next to nothing! 100's of runes a day to 1 vendor... why? It's so very easy and you will not loose your loyal customers and get a constant flow into your bank account.
The whole reason the Red & Purple Mini Mall was founded was to offer well traveled vendor space to those who would otherwise be alone in the woods. Back then, big malls demanded guild membership or were only offering space to friends. When we opened, we had a waiting list for placement because there were no big fees... no loyalty oaths... and no mind games. Some things never change. The vendors at the R&PMM are owned by several people, not just one. We love to share our space and want to see more younger and thirsty players get ahead. You have advice when you ask for it. Help being part of a community vendor mall that only wants you to stay and do well.
Unlike the 200k+ a week fees of Luna, you are only paying 1k a month rent. Requirements; dress your vendor nice... keep stock the best you can, and help drop the odd runes now and then or gate. Ever bit helps. Outfit requires your vendor be dressed in Red OR Purple, as part of the outfit. You can do something like Red & Black or Purple & Yellow... so your vendors are more identifiable. Drop runes that point your vendors out, if you like. You will never be alone. You will never spend the whole day dropping runes so thieves can collect them and make little profit. When you are part of a larger team... there is something for every shopper, attracting more business!
Also, the R&PMM offers a Tram treasure map rune collection, city shop runebooks, public dying tubs with dyes, GM lock-picking stack of boxes, training dummies, forge/anvil, as well as one of the most beautiful public gardens... located on the roof. Zero spawn! It's always safe here.
Want an easy rune to the R&PMM? Goodman's famous rune library "Good Vendors Trammel 1" in neon red on the 2nd level. First rune in the book! Or go to Yew Tram Moongate. Head directly screen right (North-East) until you see a cute little Elf style mall called "Yew Gate Mall of the Red & Purple". That is our sister mall, stop and have a look around. A rune to the Red & Purple Mini Mall is on the step in bright green. Just recall and you are in! Come right on inside.
