is there a reason shop permits randomly shut down now?

last night i tried to open a shop in fm 1 channel 2 and each time it would pop up a message telling me something about the time passing and the shop closing, and it teleports me to the fm entrance

is this some stupid new bug that nexon introduced, or something to just force people to buy npc shops?

That's interesting. I don't have this problem. Also, if this were the case for all players, then wouldn't there be much fewer shops in the FM?

It is to stop FM botters not a bug. Open your shop quicker.

this happens after the shop is actually up and running. seems to be after about 5 to 15 minutes after opening.

Don't stand next to your shop after it's open then just leave the fm.

Good luck leaving your shop when YOU are the shop.

He's not talking about mushroom/robot/teddy shops, but the usual old one.

Happens to me too.

it happens to me if i forget to click open, perhaps make sure your shop is open before you afk?

tried several times, as i said, and it happens every time.

and yes, i make sure it's open.

Simple explanation. If you claim a spot and take to long to load your store up, and don't open it in time, you will be kicked out and lose your spot. It's there to prevent FM botters.

How long is 'too long'?
When I claim a spot, I usually spend 10-30 minutes setting up as I do price searches.

There's no way it's half an hour. I've been kicked out plenty of times, and I guarantee you it's not thirty minutes. I think it's fifteen.

except, in setting up again after being booted, i've done it in 2-3 minutes and STILL been kicked. it happens AFTER i set up the shop, and AFTER i've been in the shop for several minutes, no matter how quickly i set up the shop.

It's not a glitch nor would nexon bash against(most of their) nx items.
It's just a new anti- bot system.

Strange how this affects some people and not others. I've had no problems with leaving shop up 12 or more hours. Only time I got booted was when I got bought out, which is normal. And I use an ancient computer running XP, and have very laggy internet.

Sometimes when I leave my shop up and go to school, I come back to find that all my items have been bought out. I'm going to assume that since I've been sold-out many times, at least in one of those times I have been standing in the same spot for hours.

I don't get kicked. :f6:

still having the issue...
