I expect prices to be higher than ever before with the platinum abundance. Makes me wonder if roleplaying guilds will get a chance of buying a guildhouse. ::)

get a job hippie :)

We already have a guildhouse but that's because the Dark Empire is not just a roleplaying guild .. it's the Greatest Guild around! :P

Ok maybe not but you asked for that. Calling me a hippie ... I bet people will totally miss that this is a silly joke and start whining about hostile DE promotion take-overs next though.

Perhaps we will change a few things in the next auction to give non-mining guilds a chance. I'll look into it. In the meantime, only 30 minutes till the first auction starts!

Poll Closed!

Yliakum has voted and here are the results [as of May 10 07:00 GMT]:

{SNIP}

Saturday 10

The first auction will be in Gugrontid at 16:00 hours.

The second auction will be in Ojaveda at 22:00 hours.


Sunday 11

The third auction will be in East Hydlaa at 16:00 hours.

I suppose we can assume that all times in this announcement are GMT, still it cannot hurt to add those three letters explicitly each time in the future.
Scanning the page I missed the first instance and took a minute to register that the others were GMT as well.

The octarchial guards are buying their shields from Sacid! you can see that on this screenshot (in the center of the shield is the guild logo of the Tunnel Digger, as seen in my sig)

Zan my point would be if the DE can afford a guildhouse, than others should mimic their successes and stop fussing.

Congratulations to the happy Guilds with brand new guildhouses!

Gugrontid A was sold for 12 million trias to The True Prophets of Chaos.

East Akkaio was sold for 4.2 million trias to The Dark Warmongers.

Don't miss the last auction on Sunday 11 at 16:00GMT! East Hydlaa, the most voted house, could still be yours.

Wow, such disparity. I guess that plague really drove down the property values....

Nope, the real villain was all those sub-prime mortgages from the Bank of Hydlaa ;D

Xillix, to be honest .. I think we got extremely lucky. We managed to buy a guildhouse for under two million. As far as I know it's the cheapest one sold so far and for reasons still unknown to me nobody else was bidding. Either way, I'm not fussing .. I'm asking a honest question.

I do look forward to what Dajoji has in mind for future auctions.

Others didn't bid because they were afraid? ;)

Well, don't be afraid to come bid on the last auction! Today at 16:00GMT! That's in 30 minutes! :woot:



The Octarchal Auction is OVER! All three houses have been sold and the last one, the one in East Hydlaa, the most voted for, went to the Order of Light for the surprisingly low amount of 1.6 million trias! Now that I didn't expect. What a bargain for OoL.

Well, thanks to all who participated and congratulations to The Order of Light, The True Prophets of Chaos, and The Dark Warmongers. We'll be making guildhouses available through auctions again sometime in the future and looking into other ways for players to acquire them.

Oddly enough not one of those guilds appear in the first six pages of the guild announcement forum or are in the registry. There is a guild in those first six pages Prophets of Chaos that might be the same as The True Prophets of Chaos. Hard to say. Guess you can miss a lot when you do not get in game too often. Of course the introduction system could have had something to do with not hearing about them before too.

Good to see fresh blood making a mark. I do wonder though how many guilds have the same players in key positions. I suppose some players might have enough ambition and time for that.

Congratulations to the winners!
