  1. Having done at least 4+ of these over the last 2 years - I can give you some insight:


     


     - you will never make the same amount or more then a forum auction.


     - there can/will be items that no one will bid on (that always makes me feel horrible)


     - they take a long time - 10 items can take over an hour easy.


     - be upfront about paying up - some folks will try to bid for others not at your auction then after winning will tell you to wait for the one not at your auction to come pay for the items (which may or may not actually happen.


     - if it isn't blue, enchanted up the wahzoo and something one doesn't see everyday - folks won't bid on it. (had a rare forge no one wanted to bid on - too common)


     - you need 2 people to do these - one to be the auctioneer, the other to take payments and give out the winning lots.


     


    ignore all this if your going to be auctioning off stuff only Gm's have access to - if your doing it as plain old players - take note of my experience.


     


    These are best if you're using them to get people to come to an event other than the auction - consider it a lost leader.


     


    buyers/bidders do have fun - but for the sellers - these are not as successful as a forum auction.


     


    I was doing ours every few months and the attendance went down at each one. Best to use sparingly.


     


    YMMV

    Rules for auction:


     


    Payment is due at the end of each lot's auction, no exceptions.


     


    You are responsible for any bids you make. (if you are bidding for others not at the auction and you win - you are expected to pay in full for the lot)



  3. There was a debate a week or so ago on one of the chats regarding ". It has a certain spark in its eyes" the theory was it was longer life.  I'm thinking that would defiantly be a good trait.


     


    I can't prove it - but it's something those of you with exp in breeding might test for.


     


    +1 for the idea.



  4. I like the signs - saved my butt a few times. Great for when you explore new places. 


     


    A person(s) decided to do something helpful here. Can I suggest, instead of bashing or yeah and naying the idea,  how about making suggestions to improve it?


     


    The intent was to help. This is a helpful community, lets work together instead of tearing each other apart.



  5. Just like when you activate a sickle you can see when a tree has a sprout, at a certain level of AH and you have your scissors activated, you can tell by cursing over the sheep if their wool can/needs to be shorn.


     


    Would save me some time having to recheck them all to make sure I've not missed one of them, not an easy task since they don't sit still.



  6. Ooo I know of 4 females!!! 2 the owner will give me and 2 are an allies. Ooh this might just work!! I will be online around 6:00 pm EST and try and contact you! We may be able to save the unicorns yet!!! I can't wait!!!


  7. Please please please sell me you unicorns - been looking for months now and no luck. I finally have a Fo priest to help with breeding and getting rid of bad traits. I've been waiting patiently for over a year now to be able to do this. ( my little one loves unicorns and I've wanted to show her baby ones since my first day in game - please help me make this dream come true)

    Thank you for reading this.


  8. I'd like to see a decorative fire wood holder to place next a fireplace or forge. It should be made of metal and only be able to hold kindling, woodscraps and logs. it would be smallish and attractive. The use of filigree would be nice.
