    I would suggest that forcing someone to morph their weapon would be unfair, but people can still force puppet concussion, so nevermind.

    I figure the morphing weapons are more for RP coolness, or for someone that switches class often, more than for someone who would want to switch weapons mid-fight. No more trading in your level 3 weapon when you change classes, just alter it to something you can still make use of.

    Or they're a bet that multi-classing will go in someday. ;)

    Horatio aside, the clasp owners are people with miniscule families...

    That's fine, though. It doesn't hide you from other people's bloodlines, so a small bloodline is more effective at removing you. (Doubly so if it's a small bloodline full of dormant people.)

    I have to say, massive props for the second round of auctions, and thank you for making awesome unique things gold-only auctions.  This trend really should be carried into the next auctions (though consider, for ones that have duplicates, putting some for credits and some for gold).  Overall though, great show, and thanks for listening to the players.

    Just a quick reminder that our current auctions will be ending at the
    Serenade tomorrow! (00:00 GMT, 7pm EST, 3pm PST)

    When it actually ended: 23 minutes before 00:00.

    Am I mistaken or did two of those clasps go to people of the same family?

    Congratulations to the winners. :)

    Unfortunately, auctions run on in-game days (with the time left listed in the AUCTIONS output), so there are some slight variances with these as we load changes to the game and other miscellaneous factors. As a result, this ended the auction a little earlier than the estimated time, and we apologise to those hoping to get a last minute bid in. In the future, we'll make this clearer in the ANNOUNCE news, but we also recommend keeping a close eye on the time left as listed on the auctions themselves.

    They generally end around the Serenade for the day.

    Yep, when we timed them out (in IC days/RL hours), they -should- have ended 4 days after they started, so would have been about 00:02 GMT, but as mentioned, this does change (as witnessed by the DATE command's fluctuations in-game). It wasn't our intention for them to end early, and we were as surprised/annoyed as everyone when the close messages came in (especially after I did say that they should end at the serenade). 

    So I do whole-heartedly apologise for the mix-up, it was not what we wanted either!

    So uhh... fix the date code?? Surely you guys can afford more/better programmers!
  • TectonTecton The Garden of the Gods
    We'll be fixing it up for next time! Unfortunately, it is too late for this round of auctions.

    Congratulations to the winners. Makes me feel really optimistic about the future of Achaea that so many are willing to invest.

  • CooperCooper
    When you're talking about thousands of dollars worth or IRL money spent, "sorry, we'll fix it next time" is not really acceptable.

    Not winning an auction is not the same as losing an investment.

    Possibly, I heard quite a few people bought credits and sold them for gold and are now stuck with an unexpected amount of gold.

    Except the people who bought credits specifically to sell them for gold or to bid on an auction they wanted, and did not get to bid due to the auction ending early.

  • KyrraKyrra Australia
    Jeez Cooper, you're bitching like you didn't win.

    Just because people are willing to buy credits with IRL money to have credits or gold for an in game auction doesn't necessarily make them automatically win the game.

    Maybe it's the excitement of the auction or you really want something badly enough to make that last minute purchase, you're still ultimately responsible for making that decision regardless of whether the auction ended when it was supposed to.

    Looks like people are never happy whether they win or lose. :)

    I'm also a little bitter that they changed what the weapons could turn into after I put in my bid. "All melee weapons" to "only melee weapons that we pick" is pretty ridiculous.
