Just make an auction thread on the For Sale section of forums?

 

In game auctions for towns shouldn't be allowed, period. The fast-paced setup doesn't give enough time for potential buyers to actually know what they're buying.

As for spawnshops... just make a thread. Easier to explain location and concept and negotiate details.

 

N6 is exactly right on this. You can always let people know in trade and in a forum thread that you will auction a town locally - giving players time to see the town and evaluate the worth.

 

...I've seen tons of disputes in auction chat regarding towns, because people don't know that they're buying, people lying about the size of the town, stuff like that. People think that they're buying an alright town and it ends up being really griefed and people try to back out on technicalities (like a town advertised in auc as being 200x200 actually being 201x201).

Not worth having to deal with those kind of spur-of-the-moment issues just because someone thinks it's too much effort to make a thread.

 

I have bidded on an auction town in-game and it was really difficult. It caused many problems and in the end no one got the town. It is just better to use the For Sale thread like I said. -1

 

Basically, what Nicit said. I took part in some town auctions in myself... there is rarely enough time to ask the major questions.

• Original/Official ownership?
• Spawn portal?
• Other town features?
• State of the town? (Value of materials, levels of grief etc.)

I agree that town auctions should not be allowed ingame but only on the forum.


-3.14 to this suggestion.

 

-1 as @Nicit6 said this not necessary
