Posted November 21, 2014 Hi! In order to get some of you to try PlayerAuctions out and give feedback here I have created a couple of hopefully interesting offers: http://www.playerauctions.com/wurm-online-items/We're offering 10 Gold coins for 120$ each and also 200 new Garden Gnomes: These gnomes will be on offer for one month and no new ones will enter the game once the 200 on offer runs out or the time period ends. Just as with the other gnomes, the hats glow in the dark:) The offers are valid both on the Freedom and Epic clusters. The gnomes will be delivered via the ingame mail system. In case you want to try and sell stuff yourself, PlayerAuctions will offer a free commission fee for new sellers from the Wurm Community for their first successful sale.To be eligible for this feature Wurm Users who register their account on PA must input: wurmonline in the referral field when registering: How it will work: - The commission fee will be deducted as normal for the sale. However after it's successful completion, visit the PlayerAuctions live chat, and tell them you are a Wurm Community member and ready to receive your "Code Club Kick Back". - Their customer service will confirm your referral and the successful order completion, then send a request to finance to adjust the commission rate to 0 for the order, or refund the commission fee which will be processed within 72 hours if they had already disbursed payment to your account. Anyways, I'm mainly interested to see how you experience the site since as you probably know I have a large interest in the virtual economy aspect of Wurm as well as safe possibilites to exit if you ever want to quit playing. The main reason for this is that I think it gives the game a dimension where nothing is really pointless since you can get something back for your invested time and effort. So don't hesitate to give feedback here once you've used it. Cheers, Rolf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 21, 2014 In order to get some of you to try PlayerAuctions out and give feedback here I have created a couple of hopefully interesting offers: So the rejection of this wasn't comprehensive enough the first time, now you are trying to get us to use this dubious site anyway with promises of discounts and gnomes? The information they require from people to use their site is somewhat more invasive than cavity searches at airports. No. 21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 21, 2014 Signed up, verified my mail and my account via phone. Payment went through just fine. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 21, 2014 So the fact the macro incident from player auctions that the players themselves had to point out to Rolf and the "disappointment" he felt in the players for the negative feedback they gave.... Guess we haven't learned anything 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 21, 2014 Well there is a typo on one of the pages i don't think it matters any in the actual price but thought i would post it... Seems the gold is $1.20 not $120, lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 21, 2014 I agree i would have bought one from the shop but i guess he must be getting a kickback on the stuff that sells over there so he is wanting a part of the account sales that goes on so is trying to get everyone to use this site...idk Yeah no problem there, but players don't want to use that particular site.

Posted November 21, 2014 So the fact the macro incident from player auctions that the players themselves had to point out to Rolf and the "disappointment" he felt in the players for the negative feedback they gave.... Guess we haven't learned anything Ehm, that was a scam intented to harm Wurm and you fell for it man. GJ bringing that up here We can sell gnomes ingame sure. But I want some of you to try this out and see how it is for yourself instead of spreading rumours. If you're sceptical you're free to refrain from trying. I want sincere feedback in this thread, not FUD which will yield warnings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 21, 2014 I am glad to see you are aware of the incident I'm referring to. Not the least of which is chastising the player base hehe. Was it a scam? Yes. Did it show up the game? Yes. I only hope this round goes better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 21, 2014 Well there is a typo on one of the pages i don't think it matters any in the actual price but thought i would post it... Seems the gold is $1.20 not $120, lol It says "100s" and then 1.2 for 1, so it seems fine. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 21, 2014 Thanks. I was very sceptical to PayPal when it first surfaced and was reluctant to registering. Things have turned out pretty good though and it works very well for most parts. PlayerAuctions has been around at least since 2007 and I figure it may be worth a shot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 21, 2014 Othob it's from me/Code Club. They take some commission I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 21, 2014 Is that possible to pay directly in € or it's just an american website ? My bank will charge me extra fee if i pay in an other currency. I guess at the moment i will not use it because of the currency problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess at the moment i will not use it because of the currency problem. I didn't try but at the top I saw a $USD text, maybe you can change it there.
