Yes, grouping is done.

Loot managers are done.

Quote

Will there be rares?

Well, since we have few items everything is rare :)

Not sure what the final verdict will be on this one.  Probably duels I think.

Will there be new servers?

Depends on demand.

I think it\'s the game, not the server. Do you expect smooth movement from a pre-alpha tech demo?

Great! Some new info...

lol, actually I get pretty much smooth movement at the moment; around 30-40fps.
Anyway, CB seems even more appealing now. :D

You still have anybody working on the site, acraig, they are progressing well on guild features like this one ;)

Edit: bad joke, of course, \"anybody\" are in fact people currently working on it. Reading it again, it looked awful  ;)

Well, I mean the in-game interface.  We could always use somebody that wants to develop a nice web page for guilds.

About auctions: i was watching a friend play FFXI and saw how they do the auctions, instead of having to negotiate and deal with the players directly they have a auction house. Place the item you wish to sell for a base price and then players bid and highest bid goes. Makes for an easy technique keeping the chat spam free.

I was wondering if there are any ideas of doing this in the future? Not particularly in CB but mabey later. Once the items start rolling out im sure there will be lots of players wanting to sell for higher than the NPC\'s will buy. (EQ\'s auctions suck :P )

At the moment we have not consider auctions so not exactly sure how they will work.  Will have to do a bit of research to see how other games handle it and take the best components from each to develop our own system.

sounds good Acraig. I might even do a bit of looking around and post up in the wishlist board.  :D  Thanks

FFXI has a very good auction-system. There is a auction-house where you can put your items for sale, and when you do so they are removed from your inventory.
There is also a thing called Bazar, which technically means that the player marks which things in his inventory he want to sell, and a little figure will be visible above his/her name, making other people aware of his/her desire to trade.  The people that want to buy, simply looks in the sellers inventory, and buys the things he/she wants. Just like at a NPC-merchant.

You\'re right, this is not possible at the moment. The reason is probably that there are still a lot of things to do, and this feature is not on the top of the list  ;)
