  Have to be careful on that one.

  If I'm running a private server and don't log in for a few days, it would be 
annoying for all the shops to be closed.

  Related to that you are likely to get some towns that may not be used much 
even on active servers - if I have a private server, I'm likely only working in 
one town at a time.

  I'd be more inclined to have towns be a bit more dynamic, but also have that 
driven more my player actions - eg, folks can by plots of lands outside of 
cities, etc or what not.

  At some level, if we let a player do it, then we could also let NPC's do it 
(some number of NPC's buy farms or whatever)
