I like how the new layout contains more shops; no more looking for certain shops on the map, getting frustrated and turning to google to actually find it for you. I rarely bought from certain shops because I either couldn't find them or I just forgot that they even existed - so that is a huge pro.
A huge con for me at the moment is the layout. Everything seems spaced out, wordy, bulky ... just big in general and it is rather unpleasant to look at it. The amount of scrolling that is needed seems unnecessary.
Maybe changing the shop categories to Subeta locations will avoid all confusion about item uses.
The shops which were on the original main shop page didn't have any location, of course - they were just somewhere in Subeta. How about putting them in a shopping mall in Centropolis Lower West Side? There isn't a map for this area so it shouldn't be too difficult to add a shopping mall icon to the page. This would save new players from being confused when they discover that some toys can be worn while many Grooming Parlour items can't etc.
I really really don't like this change. The page now looks so..cold and empty. Somebody called it sterile and i agree. I liked the funny storefront icons, outdated art or not. They made them look like actual physical shops instead of dead links. Everything is being changed to look 'sleek' and 'new' and 'trendy' IMHO but all it does is to remove the life from the site bit by bit. :c
Think I'd like to see the shops drawn like other locations where it seems like a place you can stroll through instead of icons on page.
I prefer the shop pics as well but only the shops on the original main shop page had them. Using shop items to illustrate what the shops sell would have been a quick and easy way of trying out a new system. Maybe we can have pics of shops later on.
yea the store front images gave the main shop page life. now it just seems dull. can staff add store front images in places of the item images? :(
Well this is awfully sterile. More lists. Convenient but bland.
I'm not sure if it's been discussed, but is the Lakeside Balloon Hut going to be added to the page?

You're the only person in this topic who noticed it's missing. This suggests that nobody goes there. Maybe it's time this shop had a wider range of stock.
SubetaBucks - is the shop like gone forever? I dont recall the last time I looked for it but it was ages ago. While going through my WL I see it as a shop cat. but it is not there on the shops page. Just wondering if it is gone or just forgot to be added.
I've played around with it, well, I did some restocking yesterday and this morning. I still really hate it. The fact that I have to scroll around to find the shop I want is just irritating. I've started just clicking the first shop listed and changing the URL to the shop I wanted because thats easier.
Do you hear that? Manually changing a URL is easier than navigating your Main shops page.
I hope it gets changed back, with updated art. Please.

For me the page is confusing. It's gonna take a long time getting adjusted with it.
