i had the idea to create this system a while ago but knew it would be quite a bit of work. glad someone else did it :p

however, that plugin seems to be quite heavy on the database for the web source; i haven't looked at the actual plugin code.

with a lot of design changes and layer of caching implemented, i think a unique and well thought-out web auction system would be a very good addition to the server.

and as a note: i do completely agree that the current economy kind of sucks. both because of the difficulties of trading and the problems that the market itself present, (no supply/demand, most things bought/sold there instead of player-trading going on, etc) and even because of people becoming rich frp, automatic farms. personally i would like to see a change, but lots of thinking would have to be done on how to re design the system in the best way possible.

@24kgold - i can assure you that if opticraft ever adopted an implementation of a web auction house, it would not be overrun with useless crap. we would definitely take things like users spamming useless items into account when designing it :)

and back on topic: optical has mentioned implementing an existing in-game auction type of system. i'm sure you could find what he's talking about with some googling if anyone is interested in doing some research - you know, for posting well thought out responses and feedback in this topic.

24kGold:
That web auction plugin is a good idea. I would definitely like to see something like that. I just wanted to avoid a forum mess of just threads. That bukkit plug in actually looks great and I'd sure it'd be implemented even better on opti.

atdfbttl15:
I want this to be implemented as well but i hope it won't bring any lag to the server.

FNVcourierjon(SigilStone):
Good suggestion.  This would help improve trade between players, but I think the trade channel is good enough.

harif:
the pluggin which permits players to buy and sell stuff is ECONOMY.
ive used it on another server and its a good idea for this server too. the only remark is that if this pluggin will be installed, it would be necesary to remove buy/sell diamonds as those can be obtained freely by voting the server.

btw, the trade channel of the server is anything else but not a trading room. people are talking about everything they want except trading.
