It’s time to talk a little bit about the auction this year. Many of you are wondering ticket count/cost on this event.

This is a free event for our paid subscribers. There will be a tent for everyone to enter, and we’ll also have a tent for Premium only. Yes, Platinum will see a version of this event as well. It will be a straight silver-only auction. The auction will be in December, but exact dates are TBD. F2P will need to upgrade to a paid subscription should they wish to participate and enter the tents.

The majority of the items auctioned will be brand new things, which we’ll tease closer to the event. But you’re not going to see a whole lot of items here that are from previous venues. A good chunk of items will be unique, one-of-a-kind heirlooms that you’ll be the sole owner of (should you win something). We’ll be announcing an item count, but we will not be going over every item before the auction. This is a nod to our old God Auctions of the 90s.

We’re really excited about this auction, and I hope you are too.


Wyrom, PM

Wyrom looked out upon creation and said “There are too many silvers circulating, so let there be an auction, for silvers only, and let us not limit attendance, so that we drain as much silvers as possible.” and it was good.

Can you make the premium tent available for recurring premium members only or for those that have been members for a period of time of 4 months or something of the like leading up to the auction? There doesn’t always seem to be much of a reward for being a recurring member rather than upgrading right before events like this.

I’d go further, I’d say premium members as of July 1st this year.

Letting people buy up to premium level to go also has an up side. I upgraded for the first time to go to Solstice Dreams (the last grand auction) in 2005 and am still premium today (a few small gaps not withstanding). Premium perks can be addictive to people who try them for whatever reason.

Eagerly awaiting details on this, but will there be a mechanism to prevent those with billions of silver from circumventing single (or whatever) item per account purchase limits?

What I don’t want to experience is something like what happened at Duskruin, where the same player won every auction that he desired, such as the epic lightening and single certificate auction, among other things. I know this is a delicate balance, but I’m certain the rest of us want the chance to experience content (yes, interesting and complex items are content) when we pay for a subscription.

Can F2P watch the goings on of the auction but not participate?
