Today a lot happened to the Auction System. We added over 400 items in to the Auction database. Names, ID's, Categories and Images for every single item. I created a webpage so that staff could do it and through crowd sourcing we were able to get 200 items added in the first hour and 400 added by this post. This is almost every item in the game and I couldn't be more shocked by the amount of work everyone put in to get the database filled. Thanks everyone who helped including Ricksterm, Freakboy, CraftminerX, FuManBoobs and Psico45. There may have been others helping but they didn't make themselves known. I also added about 60 or so of the items myself.

On the backend, I got a lot accomplished today including the system that takes items from you when you add them to the shop. I also finished the tab selection system so that as you move from one tab to another in the store, the shop remembers that so when you refresh the page you'll be looking at the same tab as you were before.

I also finished the backend and front-end code for the auction houses listing type system, this is where it lets you pick if you're listing an item for buying, auctioning or both.

I have taken some screenshots to show you the adding system where you list new items and just an overview showing some auctions and buy only listings, enjoy. We are still on track for an early July release and now that the database has been filled with items I feel more confident than ever in the success of the Auction System.

Main Overview:

Can we have computer generated auctions? Like every month there would be a computer generated auction were you'd bid on something like 10 mob spawn eggs. Also could you auction commands for the shop such as a backpack or something like "Spawn 10 villagers" and you'd recieve a gift and then you accept and you'd have 10 villagers <3 (Just ideas)

VodkaDK / Pri will make exclusive auctions like the spawn eggs and enchanted potions. Also, he will add another shop feature not related to auctions.

I finished the auction system today. Right on my deadline of July 1st (Literally within the first hour of July 1st!)

Staff are currently testing it and I'm hopeful we can let everyone in on the fun by July 2nd or 3rd.

Update today I have implemented "straight to item" links. On every listing you will now see a little chain icon in the top right if you click that this will appear:



You can then click in the box to copy the link to someone else or you can just right-click the chain on the main pages and select "Copy Link Address". This should help you to quickly send people links to your auctions. I will probably add in some kind of shorturl later.

Here is a direct link example that you can click: http://shop.renmx.com/auctions.php?i=552

New change today, if you are listing something just for buy now, not an auction then it automatically will be listed for 7 Days but you will only be charged 5 Rickies for it. This is so players can more easily sell commodity items (Stone, Bricks, Logs etc) that don't really need auctions but may need to stay listed for a long period of time making the 25 Ricky charge for a 7 day listing on something so low-cost being undesirable.

The cost and times for Auctions Only & Auction + Buy Now remain the same.
