This place should be used more. I don't really even know what it is for, but you should take out the merchant NPCs in the towers, and only have them in the marketplace so people can go down there more often.
You could also have a store setup where people setup a store to sell there items in there for gold.

You know Gody, what you're trying to do is an exact opposite of what the Japanese developers did with the Marketplace.
Originally, there was a Merchant Guild NPC in there, but they decided to move him to every tower to make it more accessible, so people wouldn't have to run back and forth when they wanted to sell stuff.
And stores are pretty pointless, as in the Merchant Guild you can already search items you need by name, which is faster than checking every individual's store would be.

I am with Cornelia. A lot of the ideas that are being put up are over complicating the game. I think the most wonderful thing about it is how simple PG is. And to add something like personal shops would mean inflation. Like what happened on gaia. Until they instated the 10% tax which the merchant has. The merchant is acutally pretty easy to use. Although I do too wish that the underground area was used more. *cries*

Thanks for the answers Cornelia and Kami -- you totally described some of the things that actually happened in the Japanese game previously. In fact the underground market place started becoming so crowded that one would get 'lost' trying to navigate out of there!
Gody, you bring a great point and that is how do we use this now. I am curious to ask you all, what kinds of ideas you may have here? ;D <one user suggested that PG (or getting members) could sell rare items (like diamond, ruby), only on special days like every other Saturday>

Selling in game rares for Gold to generate profit? No thank you. The game would get flooded with rare stuff, and the rich people would get all of them anyway. Not fair in my opinion.
The gems are hard to find for a reason, please don't make them any easier to obtain.
