Theese could allow player groups or guilds create their own market area besides other inventive uses.

Choices bought from NPC. Styles and beast appearance.

Moves like a boat but on land. Driver doesn't reconize left or right movement. Brake / brake release instead anchor commands.

Can't pass through doors, use any gate (but, like serpent towers, land style added), travel over water or stairs more then 2 spaces long.

Key sets steps/stool/keg half to board ride and move. Key holder can friend a player (even themselves) to the wagon. Friended to the wagon (takes pet slots, 3 for 2 container & 2 for 1 container) and listens to friend only pet commands. Friending player other then key holder gives them a copy of the key and ability to redeed wagon.

Age timer like boats. Feed the driver bottle ale to reset.

Cargo container like crate/barrel/chest based of style of wagon. Two containers per with 1600 stone capacity. Keyed to wagon key. Has option setting for vendor mode. Items placed for sale have no vendor charge. Items locked till sold or wagon redeeded. And at server refresh items reduced 10% from last priced value. Pack drops when wagon redeeded or destroyed while items in containers.

Driver has blue lifebar. Can be agroed on. Renamed. Attacked in Fel (Think of the caravan events players could hold). Would have to be Fel side bought wagon that has yellow lifebar, vendor mode only placement.

Homeowners can make key copy for any wagon withing 5 spaces of there home targeting blank key at wagon. Then park it in an Ogre's Swamp or redeed and sell to NPC.

Wagons are account tied and any griefing or brain fart can earn temp or perma ban. Meaning driver naming or blocking high traffic areas can get you adjusted. High traffic could be player population areas like WBB or a player organized market area blocking flow. Dungeon entrance be a instant perma ban or there could be just be areas wagons can't move in or be placed.

A wagon key can only be placed in trade window if wagon within command range. Key traded this way makes wagon image in window and cuts new key making any others vannish. This could be safe method players could trade 500+ items in trade windows. Now a better way to handle larger purchases (wagons 250 items + carts 125 items and bag 120 items.) The containers would be in vendor mode with viewable mil gold deeds priced at 1,000,069.

Player housing should NOT be part of New Magincia... I'm sorry, but for every nice house there are 10 fugly ones.

I like this roaming vendor/flea market idea... Limit 1 per account, but even at that New Magincia would be crowded, so have a city vendor limit. But if it proves to be a hit, every city should have some. It would give reason for people to visit every city and a chance to find great items/prices.

Also, to follow lore it seems better suited to have small vendors/merchants roaming New Magincia trying to make a simple living VS big large houses hawking their wares. Obviously, what is sold on the vendors (and price) is up to the players, but at least it won't be in your face like Luna.
