NEW MARKETS SYSTEM IN AO! - Preview 1 & PICTURES

[Chrisax]

This year, and probably in Beta sometimes in May, we will discover a new market system in AO.

It will offer a bunch of very nice features, making it comparable to the very best market systems available in MMO's.

Several things are inspired by the Trader's house of Age of Conan or some excellent features from City of Heroes (create buy orders at a specific price), and more.

The interface will use the in-game browser technology.

Full feature list:

- The items and credits will be delivered to your in game email inbox (please note emails still times out after 2 weeks)
- Accessible through terminals in the main cities
- Includes Item-search featuring all trade-able items
- Cross-dimensional trade system [market is common to all AO servers]
- You can buy existing items directly, or create buy orders with a preferred price
- You can sell items directly to an existing buy order, or create sell orders with a preferred price
- You can sell and buy more than one of an item at a time
- You can sell and buy unique items
- A small fee will be deducted when creating a buy or a sell order and a small tax will be deducted from the seller when an item is bought to prevent players from abusing the system
- The Portable GMS Terminal and Portable Shop Interface items will still be usable to access the market from anywhere


Requirements:

- You don't need an organization to use the market!
- You need to be a subscriber to do transactions (Alien Invasion)
- Free players can browse the market

... All Hail Lindelu!

much more sophisticated.

cool.

I'm on the fence about the 2 week time out.

On one hand, it means people won't be able to dominate the market by just loading up and afking for a year... on the other hand, it'll mean if you have anythign in your shop you'll want to log in at least once every two weeks to check your mail box.
