Auction House System Ideas
velo:
Don't get me wrong, an auction system would be great. Maybe this has already been discussed, but the only problem I see is the amount of spam Auctions create in chat.
Would this be on a separate chat channel, that players would be able to turn on/off?
What I think might be a good idea would be an announcement for when a bid starts, something like
"(player name) has started an auction for (block/amount) starting at (price)", as well as
"(player name)'s auction is now over."
This way, only players involved with the auction get the bulk of the messages, such as updates when another bid is made, etc., and would significantly decrease the amount of messages people get if they don't want to participate in the auction

Not for those of us running Linux, Ubuntu or LUbuntu like me :P Just thought I'd throw that in there. If there wasn't a solution to this problem then perhaps we could use /itemdb. Many of the block id's are available at market under the name of the items there :D

I wasn't saying it's impossible to find them. I was saying that for a custom plugin, that doesn't seem like the best way to go.

Personally I was going to hold players responsible for checking up on their auctions which means no chat spam at all.
