Stall Item/Town Auctions

[Heffernan]

Hello,

though i had this idea some time ago i want to write it down now.

The Items in the NPC stalls in Boston are lets face it Retarded in sort of pricing, so how about having a auction every now and then, maybe once a month, every week or every 2 weeks (maybe after the dock club)

The Auction could have items for new players or for people wanting to create a town together but lacking silver to buy directly from NPC stalls (wich is the only way to get some items that cant be produced)

a short list of what i had in mind

Town Toolset - 5x Pickaxe, 5x Metal Axe, 5x Shovel, 5x Iron Hoe, 5x Copper Pot

Town Backpack Set - 10x Backpack

Town Start Set - Town Charter, 3 Personal Claim Charters, Compact & Constitution Scroll (to get the skill learned), Blazing Braziers Skill Scroll

Town Purse Set - 1x Noblemans Purse, 5x Merchants Purse

Town Infection Set - 5x Plague Doctors Masque, 5x Rattler Serum

Townhall Set - 6 Glass Panes

Town Nail Set - a box with 50 Nails

and probably more to add?

just looking to get Stuff auctioned that does NOT require 17.000silver (last stall) to purchase anything and makes even more people want to attend more of these auctions without requireing absurd amount of silver and get something else then a stall.

You realize that merchants will just out bid new players and resell the items for a markup.

Fun idea tho

then we need a way to tell whos a new player or a noob player or something and make the auction specific for them (and a way to prevent people from using alts)

Unfortunately that is impossible to do.

It has been gone over many times on these forums there is no way to prove a noob is not just a vets alt.

then u could pick a 5minute time for purchasing stuff example..

it gets announced on the forums
30min prior it gets announced ingame
20
10
and at 5min the dev changes the stall prices of specific items to about 50-80% cheaper
5min later the server restarts to change prices back again.

or they could offer some packages in the seasonal stall? ill leave that to Marp (not jc pls hes for doing the evil stuff <3)

I know sunday evening (UTC) is the most popular time for the server, but that doesn't mean EVERYONE can make it, if you were to hold auctions like this that were aimed at newbies you would need to do it at different times, or have some automated system set up, but tbh I don't see any issue with the way it works currently. There is a new method for obtaining glass and every other thing is obtainable through trading with players. You can't have the only way of obtaining claim certificates (can't think what pclaims and tclaims are called on the stalls, been a while since I needed a new one), as auctions, it would price newbies out of the game.
