auctions

just an idea but

today alot of houses when idoc. and of course hords pf peps camping around the idoc to get loot when it goes demo. thats such a waste.

so i purpose an auction scheme.

this can be done one of several ways.

1. Each item has an id number, and it and is attached to a house/owner.
a system can be set where the items in the idoc, when the demo happens the property returns to the bank. Then each item can be called or bid on in an auction house. highest bidder wins. This would be a silent auction of corse.

2. The entire property of the idoc can become a single auction, thus winner gets the property.

3. a charity auction can be held where real money is used to auction things off like idocs, or, mebbe something like to sponcer an entire area, like say luna, and the money made goes to the server. And for 30 days or something like that, the shops would tell the customers to thank *joe doe* for donating to the server, or mebbe that person gets a doesnt have to pay for any normal shop items(arrows, pots, ect)

just some ideas

what you guys think?

this completely alters the fun of hunting for idocs and cmaping them. Good brainstorming, but I don't like it.

Apple and d., just want to thank you for being civil in your responses. I swear I thought someone was going to post something like:

"STFU Newb and go away"

As for the idea, I like it roughly but knew it was going be a toss up, for players like the excitement and enjoyment of hunting/capturing IDOCs. Now, maybe some system can be worked out to take a random item or two from the IDOC or something and auction it off so we have a steady flow of items and balance but the staff is going be working on something like that. Thank you for your suggestion and it has raised many ideas in our heads so you've done a good job. Don't forget to post your other ideas too, I know you said you have a bunch of ideas and we'd love to hear them.

Actually an auction house would be neat. Would be items that players choose to put in and set a minimum bid and maybe a buy value. would be kinda like a in game ebay.

Not an easy system to code though but something to look into in the future.

well judging by the total number of IDOCs that happen at a given time (Yesterday there were around 7), we can pick one house to auction off. That would leave the other 6 freely campable while the other is put up for auction. You can think of it as paying for a private IDOC. This will also give a great use for all those 50 million dollar cheques sitting in the bank.

Well when they run out there will be other guys with high millions (Interesting Fact: The gold from last auction was used to build a new, larger, auction house).
