Something with PM

[Turock]

You sold:
on the market for $0.
The cash is available in your Savings account.

Thats what was reported in the news. Pretty strange. I haven't made any major changes to the PM so not sure what that might be. Maybe just a server hiccup.

Since we are on the topic of the PM. As you might know I added a warehouse to the ME games so that troop storage is done there. For the most part it has been a huge success. The PM now fully functions as it should. However there is still the small problem of players placing items on the PM at overly inflated prices. With the current system, those overpriced troops must be purchased before other competitively priced troops can be had. I think that maybe a time limit of 24 - 48 hours of items on the PM before items are returned to the seller minus the standard commissions would solve that.

I'll send you the warehouse code Beatles. Its been almost 2 weeks and seems to be pretty smooth. No reported bugs.

Thanks!

The "return to sender" isn't a bad idea, although it has shortcomings for genuine long-term sellers. See our topic and chatlog somewhere else here -- I'll try to dig up link later.

Perhaps it would be possible to write a code for a price range. Like a dynamic thingy. Say that for the first week of the set, the price can only be 5% greater than the actual price, and increase it as the set goes along to a max of around 25%ish. So a 2 month set would have 8 increases at 3.75% per week. (XD, thats a horrible example) You could also make it so the oldest troops are sold first, not so much the most or least expensive.

IE. If 1 mouse costs 600g base, then first week it can sell for 630g on the PM. The last week it could sell for around 750g.

If anything, you could force the game to lower prices perhaps? If my troops don't sell within ...say a week, they lose 5% of thier price. Forcing them to be bought. Ending with a total reduction of 25% over 5 weeks.

What would be cool really... Or even some sort of counter that once x mice are on the market, the price for selling all mice on the PM goes down x% due to overflow or something. As realistically, their value would have to decrease. More of something = cheaper price.

...I wonder if this is possible. *Laughs*

*Pokes* My idea?

Wait... I thought it ordered troops by cheapest to most expensive, so the least costly stuff gets sold first?
