its not that hard.

250k * 3 (1 hour) = 750k
750k * 24 (1 day) = 18M
18M * 7 (1 week) = 126M
or short
((250k*3)*24)*7 = 126M

and such a price would never happen. the prices arent going up straight, sometimes its more and than less. especially at higher prices the ammount of money being bid will drop.

I doubt someone has 126M and will use it on one item. If they did, I am sure we would see less scam threads because no one would drop.

Im sure people wouldnt start bid racing until the end of the week anyways so that way they could keep the price low

That doesn't work. There will always be people trying to screw everyone else over

I didn't say it was hard, I meant that I was too lazy

nope. keep in mind, this is graal. if telling the players "dont attack them, than they will drop more" is turning them on to kill npcs, higher prices will turn them on aswell to "troll" around  

calli's right.

No this is iEra and we will use whatever idea is out there. Taken or not, iEra or PC was not the very first to come up with long term auctions. Try looking at Ebay sometime bud.

/Move this thread to improvements, if an admin sees this.

A little off.

Well that would be to much money for 1-3 days...
But on the news they can post that an auction will be taking place tommorow at 12:30 pm or Something like that.
For more players to have a chance to get the item.

I can't find it on the news at all.

its a suggestion

its a suggestion

Which y'all used to do. I wish y'all would bring it back.  

good idea  

Possibly 2 sets of news. 1 for just the normal typical news and the other one for timings for auctions/events etc...  

If there were more auction houses than players the races for the items would be so high in the end. It would make iEra or any other server more fun. I cannot afford 1M Gralats or however high.  

Hmmm, if idiots didn't bid in the first few minutes and only start bidding at the end, the final price would be ever so low. Hmmmm. .  

Point(s) taken.

I reflected back on it. And I have to say, with all the bad things about it that you guys pointed out, it was quite a silly idea.

Although there are a few good things.
