LC Auction beta testing
It's been a while since I mentioned the LC Auction site, however I think I'm ready for people to be brought in to help me test this.

The LC Auction section will be a new section where you can auction your items for adena (this is NOT for real-money trades, which is a bannable offense). It is primarily targetted at LoA server, since there is no global, but it should be useful to people who don't like spamming global with "SELLING +0 JUNK" over and over again.

Anyway, right now it's in a beta form - it seems to be working, but I'd like to have people test it to make sure it's stable.

So, without further ado, here's what I am looking for:

LoA players who have used ebay.com or other auction sites and know how an auction is supposed to work. You should be someone who pays great attention to detail and can actually help me get this thing running. I want people who can look at the system and find bugs AND make suggestions. If you can't do that, just wait until I make it public.

Also, if you're the type of person who likes to complain and whine when a beta has a bug, even though you were well-warned that it was a beta, please just wait until I make it public.

If you don't have time to help me test, also please just wait until I make it public.

If I haven't scared you away yet, email me web@lineagecompendium.com and I'll get you set up with an account ASAP. Please briefly explain why you'd be a good beta tester and tell me your LC account name.

Yeah, I just want people to be on the same server so we can also try out some transactions and test the whole process end-to-end.

If enough people on a server are interested, I'll let you guys play with it. Just email me if you are interested. I figured most interest would be on LoA.

Amer,

I know this is a lot of work and don't think it goes unnoticed. The work you (and your team) do at lineagecompendium.com makes the game of Lineage better.

The problems I have had with selling is being on at the same time as the buyer. I predict your service will open up an opportunity for a trusted pledge to work as an escrow service. This pledge could take a small percentage for holding the cash and items for the players.

Thanks,
Goodkin

i would asume that once an acution has closed and the seller agrees to trade with someone then the seller and buyer would have to meet in game on their own time. no need for an "escrow" server, and most people wouldn't like to be taxed on their trades.

nooo....since you're starting out fresh, make it available to the other servers too. i really liked the idea the first time i read it in your interview. when selling, sometimes i'd rather take bids on rare or high demand items rather than spam on global. if i ever do auction off something, it would be my luck that serious buyers aren't logged at the time. this would also allow buyers to trust that the current bid is real. also like the ability to give transaction feedback too. this would almost elliminate spam (um..maybe not ellimiate spam, more like vending spam) on dep/ken and we'd praise and burn offerings to you for doing it.
