LadyLoveDr is off
again on a mission! This time, it is to
surprise five random men's clothing stores and critique them one by one. There's no holding back, and she has her own 5
star scoring system. The more stars they
got, the better they did. The categories
up for critique were fashion design, graphic design, price, store layout, and
customer service. Keep reading to find
out where LadyLoveDr turned up, and how those stores scored on her 5 star
scale.

TOTAL STARS: 21 out of 25
Pros: Groupies get 25% off at their in-game store. They
have 964 FREE items on their marketplace.
You can get a HUD teleporter in their port landing location.
Cons: I found
there was way too much lag to shop. I
even tested it on a different computer and had a friend test it as well. Every time we were hit with a wall of
lag.
Suggestions: Take out the Bot Customer Service rep, it
seems too impersonal. Replace with
online/offline employee boards. Try to
cut down on the lag so people can shop in-game.

Pros:
They have 4 lucky chairs and 2 midnight mania boards. Almost everything costs
$55.
Cons:
Their only freebie is on the marketplace. Everything is hung on the walls which
makes it collage like and overwhelming to look at.
Suggestions:
Offer a few free items at the in-world store.

Pros:
They have a huge inventory with fair prices and are equipped with lucky chairs
and gift cards for customers. They have
a special on sale section called the Bargain Basement and offer an affiliates
package at their marketplace.
Cons: They have no freebies and only 2
dollarbies. The store was under
construction at the time of my visit.
Suggestions: Implement a teleport system that not only
makes things easier to find but not such a long walk (Example: Elevator with Options of Bargain Basement,
1st Floor Women's, 2nd Floor Men's, 3rd Floor New items, etc). Put prices on
item posters.

Hi there, I am Anarchy Charisma, owner of *An@rchy Ink* and would just like to say thank you for your critique. I would also like to add that we do monthly group gifts (one each for men and women)! =D I am also in the process of developing a shopper HUD so you can teleport around the store more easily, as well as a gacha room and putting more freebies out (I just need there to be more than 24 hr in a day =D). I am also planning a wall with links to my and my bloggers blogs, my facebook, flickr etc and staff help boards (we have several gorgeous and helpful models instore! =D ) Again thank you for your critique and for all shoppers out there, I am always willing to hear suggestions! Just let me know what you want! :)
