Posted on 16 November 2007 at 19:18:22 I was just wondering if anyone has heard anything about them implementing an Auction house or an inspect function in a near soon patch. i'm seriously considering getting this game and those are the only things that are making me weary of just running out and buying it. i dont get how you can get new gear/items and stuff and have an economy with out an auction house and it sucks to not be able to inspect others.

Posted on 16 November 2007 at 22:35:54 As a former WoW player, even with no auction house or inspect, I don't miss either. You will get items from questing, random drops off mobs, and instances. You will not be lacking in gear or weapons.
But I have heard rumors of an auction house being implemented, not sure if that is true or not.

Posted on 16 November 2007 at 23:13:23 Coming SOON ~~~Military Surplus (AH type / Sell / Buy)
_____________ For this week, I want to talk about in-game economy and how it relates to our upcoming Operation 0: Fair Trade where we add a new feature, Military Surplus, to the game. Military Surplus outposts will allow players to buy and sell items in a fully-browsable store. We are working on getting them in-game as soon as we can with the idea that we will upgrade the Surplus stores later to support auctioning as well as consignment based buying and selling.
As mentioned by Starr earlier this week, we recently made changes to our crafting system to be more robust and more meaningful in the game, as well as making dropped loot more useful. Starting with the last patch you can disassemble items to separate their buffs from the item and use that buff on another item. For example, you get a weapon dropped from an enemy that has +1 to Body. You can take that weapon to the crafting station and disassemble it to get the Body buff off the weapon and then use a modification recipe to attach that buff to, say, a pair of boots. In the last patch you could only upgrade existing buffs, where in the next patch you can add new buffs. The grade of item determines how many different buffs you can add. This is a fun mechanic, however, there are literally thousands of recipes, items, buffs and component parts used in crafting. Getting exactly what you need to craft what you want can take some time fighting in the field. This is where Military Surplus really rounds out the in-game economy.
With Military Surplus, you simply go to the market and purchase the items you need to make that uber weapon you have always wanted. We really feel like our crafting system starts to shine once players can easily buy and sell items and supplies which is why we are working hard to get the Military Surplus outposts in the game as quickly as possible.
That’s all for this week! See you in game recruits!
