Note # 1 : This idea is taken from PokeCyrus. It's like.. a really good feature they have. One feature I actually like for us to have. Most of their other features.. suck. Also, text in Red = PokeCyrus features.
I will now explain a good idea on having an auction in-game instead of in our boring forums <_< It works better.
Okay.. Auction should be a new option in the mart besides the Bazaar. Bazaar is just a free for all when people just buy it, it's gone.
The Auction House will serve as whoever places the highest bid and that bid stays for at least 3 seconds, that user gets it
Okay. So, .. I'm not sure if I could provide a screenshot >.< I would. Let me try.. *currently trying*
Update : OHEMJEE LAG COMP!!! ARGH

Ours should look different than this. It shouldn't open a new page, it should just change your current game screen.
Also, whenever someone goes to the Auction Chat, users should be able to view our in-game chat.
Explaining the image :
1. At the top, it shows how much money you have.
2. Under that, it shows how much users are in the Auction House.
Important Note : We should not have the Shop Items and My Items in our Auction Shop. That's just how PokeCyrus keeps the Item Shop together. Our Auction Shop should not conclude that as it can be separated from the Item Shop and Monster Bazaar.
3. Under how many users are in the Auction, it should show what position you are to auctioning your monster. In PokeCyrus, it only allows those who are under the position of 2 are allowed to Auction. Which means that whoever is number 1, can auction first.
So, we are going to keep that feature. It is very fair and very organized so there should be no arguments about it.
4. Now, I'll explain my ideas of prices as our money gaining system is superior to PokeCyrus'. How much you can bid is by how much money the options allow you to bid. It is a button. It has to be clicked in order to place a bid. You cannot put customize bidding amounts. In PokeCyrus, they list 3 different prices such as : +250, +1,000, or +5,000. We aren't going to have that since our gaining money system is better.
My ideas for bidding prices will range in a few different prices from lowest to highest : +1,000 gold, +5,000 gold, +10,000, +20,000.
The gold a user bids will be added to the above bid that has been placed. If it's a beginning bid, it will be how much that user has bidden.
Example :
Bob has placed a bid of 5,000 gold.
Steve has placed a bid of 10,000 gold. (Steve added 5,000 gold to the above bid. That is how this will work.)
Bids can go as high as they can. That's the fun of it. If you have no more to bid, you can't bid anymore which means you are not allowed to get that monster!
So, depending on how much duration a bid has lasted, each bid have 3 seconds until the winner wins.
Another Example :
Bob has bid 50,000 gold
1...
2... (Bob is going to win soon!)
3... Bob wins the auction!
That's if that user has won. This is what happens if the user hasn't won :
Bob has bid 50,000 gold.
1...
2... (Bob is going to win soon!)
Steve has bid 60,000 gold!
That user is not going to win unless he bids higher.
5. Now, I will explain about the auctioning monster when someone wants to auction at the position of 1.
In PokeCyrus, the user that is allowed to auction can only bid their primary pokemon. That means, whatever pokemon is number 1 in their party can only be bid. No one else.
I don't like that
Too much. So, my idea is - Whenever a user decides to bid a monster in their team, their monster team will open and they can choose what monster they want to bid. That is much better 6. Auction monster levels :
PokeCyrus only allows users to bid pokemon that are level 10 and under. <--- We aren't going to have that. You can bid any level monster you want!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!
7. The placed bid and users :
I would like it to be placed under the auctioned monster. The space below shows what user bid what.
Example :
Bob has bid 20,000 gold.
Steve has bid 40,000 gold.
Chris has bid 45,000 gold.
Rachelle has bid 46,000 gold.
Lauren has bid 51,000 gold.
Monster MMORPG Auction House Restriction :
- You cannot auction your starting monster.
- No user can choose what bid they want.
- No user can choose what bid they want to start out with. Which means, no one can set a price for when the bid can start.
