I think you should create signs and to place around town that business owners can rent to advertise their store/wares (with a max cap to prevent an advertising monopoly and increase variety) The money can go to the treasury and signs will be managed by Prefects as they are physical objects built in Elpida. Creating a message board in town where one can post job openings to hire assistance, or post needs where people can approach them to sell their wares instead of them having to search for the person themselves. This will help streamline the economy and money transfers. (Maybe even a hidden message board for assassins, and thieves, and black market dealings.) Implementing the ability to hire a worker in your business if an entrepreneur, paying them hourly wages dependent on work and length. All of these are just ideas and some may already exist, but I felt I should share just in case.
This is definitely something that is in our roadmap. I don't have any details about when this will be available, but I will make sure the team is aware of the interest. Some other players were also interested in a similar mechanism that could be used for election advertisements. This is also in the roadmap, probably to be paired with the above recommendations. We have talked a lot about implementing "helping hands", don't have any details to share, but definitely in our future planning.
Ok, thanks for letting me know. I think that those are very interesting and valuable features and I appreciate that you are planning to at least experiment with them.
