vending map

[Little Sara]

The solution to this problem I saw on another server with a decent population:

Put a warper in Prontera where people spawn that teleports to where the two hands shaking each other statue is, directly north of the main square. Have all the merchants there in neat rows. There's room for a couple hundreds. This would also remove lag when teleporting to Prontera by warp and NPC-overlapping and what not since there is nothing really there.

Some servers also use the old Payon map (which you can only teleport to), having the merchants above the staircase thingy in the middle of town.

The first solution seems less drastic though.
