I think that should maybe return, it was the only thing I remember having fun with for 12 years of playing Era. Everyone else had fun with that, right? Everyone had fun with PPA breaking your hearts, your minds, and your souls, right? Auctions? No get out what is this Arrested Development and you're bidding on your own mother? But auditions for membership in PPA? Yeah. Let's do it again.

I had more fun when LGM and I were GPs and we used to role play investigating crimes and force players to play along.

Two guys wearing the same head? Summon them both to jail and accuse them both of identity theft, make them drop all of their items so we can look for "clues" about which player is the "real" one, and eventually force one of them to change their appearance before letting them go.

Wouldn't be of much value, I doubt anyone would pay much for any of these players...

Now about the real topic. Thoughts?

[shrimps]

There used to be player auctions and (Auctioneers) back in the day, I kept trying to get staff to bring it back but it's always shot down.

[shrimps]

I like to think I'd fetch a fair price.

We had a player auction house back in 2002 or 2003, before the first reset. I got hired as an auctioneer and made a **** ton of money off of coreguns since i found one on the ground and core never restocked them.
I got the free one, and then used the money to buy another one, and then auctioned it again. I remember selling what i called the "Mega Bundle" or something and never even eluded to what was inside.
a guy payed like 2 million for 2 shotguns, 2 handguns, an ak, and 2 uzis XD. I think there was some other odd crap i included too.

This was back when people were spawning money anyway, thus the first reset. It was a pretty fun time though. There was also a black market auction downstairs for selling gang weapons and ppa weapons.

Whats ppa? troll

[shrimps]

It's an old business from Era. You pay them and they protect you. Gangs or players used to use their services when Era was fun.

My serious thoughts:
We can try it out. Don't think it would hurt. I just for-see problems with people coming to us (like they do now) about paying too much/typing the wrong amount. We'll have to enable some sort of safety net to stop players from bidding too much (maybe a warning if they're X amount over what the current bid is), as well as have strict rules of operation that anyone using the system would adhere to. Sort of a "Use at your own risk" and not allow any of it to be policeable by the PR's/Admins.

Otherwise, not the worst idea I've heard, and like I said we could always try it out for a few days and see how it goes (pass/fail) and go from there.

Thanks, all i want is for you to try it out and see how it goes. That's how you really see results at the end of the day. So i appreciate you willing to give it a trial period.

Bidding to much isn't a problem, you guys let them do it in the server auction so this wouldn't make a difference. Bidding to much is their own stupidity. However, i do agree that a yes or no option upon bidding should come up to confirm your bid but might be a problem when you want or only have 1 sec left to bid.

I believe this would be a big hit amongst players so definitely give it a run.
