wtf

You can put it up for 12 hours (the minimum auction period), that ain't so bad afterall... if you put it up right before you go to bed, you sleep for 8~10 hours, leaves 2~4 hours to cover up, you could either chill out for that time if you rlly need the GBH that much, or just go for majestics or something using your DK+15 sword (aka doing alternative things than PvP with your GBH for 2~4 more hours)... Selling complete chars/accounts is currently not part of the AH, and it isn't ready for such sales yet, what I'm trying to say is that the code currently doesn't support sales of entire accounts. We're still running the beta phase, which is going very well right now, the amount of indicents is very low right now. We've recently moved on to a semi-monitored AH phase in which admins only watch the AH periodically instead of 24/7. This is a very positive progress for now. There are some minor issues left to be changed and resolved due to PayPal Policies, once that runs smooth we can test these changes again in a 24/7 monitored environment to then move on again to a semi-monitored AH and in the end release it as fully automated without active monitoring and tracking of auctions and likely the enabling of selling rares and a higher sales cap up to 1000$. Once we're fully operational on automatic, we can start considering new additional features of this system such as implementation in-game aswell as the ability to sell ID-less items and eventually entire accounts. sounds good, will donations [ for items, mj's, cp etc ] be eventually end up via the AH system aswell or will the donations stay as is?

1. dissagree, having to choose makes variety. 2. agree, cp is too low, or need to introduse re-questing while still hunting so as not to return to town.

a few days ago i tryd to put a De +1 bow for sale and white said that rare are forbbiden to sell threw AH untill GM's can assess options as somone can buy a rare cheaper then donation to server prices. iam guessing you try to sell some rares? gunna have to wait a while i think.

just click search and will show the last 50 items to be placed on auction

true, although i still think it is a good idea. ty for the replys and all the work lugiore..

Sry about the wait, work sucks.... Here's what i mean by a reserve. similar to that when selling a house at auction. 3. Give a Reserve option on items in a bidding auction. Here's the best way i can explain what i suggest, sorry if i havent written it clearly enough. RoAM > start bidding at 80usd > buy-out at 140usd> reserve at 110usd.. This means that the starting bid is 80 usd. if the bids do not reach the reserve then the seller has the option of selling the item at a less then expected price, insteed of having to sell a valued item at a lesser price. This would alllow people to sell items that are of higher value without the RISK of it selling at a much lower price. Current System Example: if a RoAM has a starting bid price of 80usd and a buyout of 140usd and only 1 bid of 80usd then the roam will sell for 80 usd , even tho the value of said item is much higher. Reserve System Example: Roam has a starting bid of 80usd. A buyout of 140usd and a reserve of 120usd. 3 people bid 80, 90 and 100 usd respectivly. as all bids are under the reserve when the auction is finished, the seller would have to log into AH and confirm if he wishes to sell the RoAM or not as it didnt meet the reserve on the item [ in this case 120usd ] With a reserve the item is considerd a "no sale" untill the person who is selling has a chance to veiw the sale and confirm the sale under the reserve or to deny the sale and hope to post again at a later time with better chances of a higher sale price. I consider this a good idea which is mainly pointed towards the higher end items that will eventually go up for sale on the AH. And also just thinking about it , it might help in redusing complaints from people selling items that they think should of sold higher and want the GM's to return their item(s). I hope i have explained this enough for you white, My many years of smoking weed have destroyed my abilitly to convey what i think sometimes..... Once again, Top Job on all the Hard Work. much enjoyed :)

I like your suggestions and I also want to give some feedback on them: 1. a 50% fee and a 1 USD fee makes it more complicated then it already is with the 1 USD & 15% fee we got now. Besides complication, we also don't like to deal with minor/small amounts of money as that doesn't cover fees from paypal these small amounts, that's why we got minimum cash-in & cash-out values set to ensure the value is worth transfering. Keeping your 4th suggestion in mind, this issue can be easly resolved where as people can combine multiple smaller items into bigger "packs". 2. I've seen a 48h auction house in another game, there they reduced it to 36 hours where as I think 24 hours is enough. a longer auction time would only make sense if cancelling the auction would be added too, but we're not sure yet if this is a good or bad idea. 3. I don't understand this suggestion at all, please clearify more and add some example(s) in it as I think the suggestion might be worth it. 4. I've been thinking about that too, adding the ability to build an "auction pack" in the AH upon selling your items. you put together different items into a "pack" or "packet" and sell the packet as a whole on the auction house with a bid (and buyout) price for the packet as a whole, you buy the entire packet or you buy nothing. Although that might also not be wanted, if a player likes just a single item of the packet, it should perhaps be allowed to buy them as a single also. Maybe a combination of packet & single buying would be great in such way that you can build a packet and as a seller choose to allow buying a single item out of the packet or not allowing this. To give an example: "MP set 350% packet", Bid 100$, buyout 200$... let's say we got chain, berk, hose and shield in it... 30$ bid a piece and 60$ buyout a piece. -> people can either buy the packet as a whole paying 100$ in bid or 200$ in buyout, or buy a single piece at 30$ bid or 60$ buyout. as you see, packet is cheaper than indevidual pieces, which is also a nice thing to have as you prolly prefer selling it as a whole rather than separated. buy if someone do desires 1 or 2 items from your packet, he/she can still buy it. If you wonder about the bidding process of such combined packets, I'd make it simple, bids on packets gets priority over bids on single items. As for buyout there is still some kinda issue, where as someone buys a single piece out of the packet, there would (in this example) remaing 3 pieces, but how will you price them? it's not simple math of packet price - (minus) single piece price (as our piece price is higher than the theoretical average per piece (which is 25$ on bid, 50$ on buyout))... cancelling the entire packet would be one option, but you wanne sell the 3 remaining pieces also, and it takes more effort to put again the packet of 3 or the 3 indevidually remaining pieces after someone bought just a single piece out of your packet. Perhaps some additional 2 values for each item should be added it which is something like "packet bid/buyout price reduction if this piece is bought" so if someone buys the MP 70% chain, you can make total packet price reduce by a higher/different value than when someone bought the MP 35% hauberk... This would give a solution to the issue of someone buying a single piece out of the packet as each piece has a "packet" price. The simplest would be not to allow different single-piece prices in a packet, that way if you count single prices together, it's always equal to packet prices... but I think people will prefer to differ the price of single pieces that adding up prices of single pieces is more expensive than buying the packet as a whole. As you see, there's alot of possibilities in this 4th suggestion, i've been thinking about it but havn't come to a proper solution yet... hey, 1.& 2. i understand. 4. yes is almost exactly what i was thinking. just not being able to buy a single peice out of a bulk packet, as it being a packet, you get the good withthe bad, so to speak. 3. ill get back to you with examples, got to get to bed before work. sry's

Hi guys, here are a few suggestions for the new auction house. suggestions: 1. make deals under 2usd have a 50% fee , over 2usd a 1usd fee. so people can sell things for a 1usd and still make money [ even if only 50cents] 2. make auctions a 48 hour period not a 24 to allow more ppl to veiw and bid. 3. make a option for a reserve on item, eg start at 80 with reserve at 100 and buyout at 120 . so people ar'nt forced to sell at a lower then expected price with out having to start bididng at higher prices restricting bid growth. 4. allow bulk sales within 1 auction, so as to sell whole sets at once and not to have to break sets up with leser peices stayiing on market indefinitly don t know if these are in spirit with what is desired, but it seems these might help abit. ty for all the hard work GM's

yea, i noticed that after i posted, kinda feel stupid now :/ lol

AWESOME!! nice idea guys, cant wait till it's up.

new town, lol i call mayor

hey all is elvine town map offline as connection lost as soon as i log in there or go there

good idea.

no more free hunting, map online

the number mock up seems to be better then a bar, less graphics and all. Plus also would let you know how many you actually have to make for the % #.

i have to agree with you, i will sell low% items for gold now. just a faster way to get gold for lucky tickets and repairing.

omg, so my 14+ million in wh is gone? how much is the gold drop rate lower'd?

yes yes yes lucky tickets are back!!!

go to the website and on left hand side is tickets, click newticket and follow instructions simple and easy

if i remember correctly no, you are not allowed to box tp points to held.

+1 you cant +1 you own idea bro lol :P

Macon's idea is the best , close elvine portal to new chars...

WTF

sounds awesome white, but do we ares have enough to move? i think is better to ask aresdens who have secondary chars to move them to elvine and have them in a "ares"guild in elvine. i just think if alot ares online and low elv then ares more likely to play on secondary chars in elv then to move there char completely to elvine. just my thoughts i probly wrong but hey....:) lugiore
