There will be an auction on Saturday, February 1st, at 22:00 shard time. (Informative calculation: That's 5pm US eastern, 4pm central, 2pm pacific; 23:00 for central Europe; 9am Sunday morning for most Australians.) Click here to open Time Calculator
The list of all items will be posted over the next few days.
There's a nice list of ideas in the December auction post already, and although I'd like to introduce a thing or two from there, this week looks very packed already so I can't make any promises.
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=14727
The 5 new addons created by our group of decorating players are already on display.
Btw, this group is technically still the "contextual commands beta-testing group", but it's now turning into the official deco team, also inviting new members, more info here: viewtopic.php?p=86420#p86420
I was asked about the rewards for the creators of these new addons, and I think I partially mentioned at an auction at some point but never announced, wasn't meant to be a secret. I wanted to make it so that the creators get a percentage of each sale for the first 3 sales, to get an approximate average price, but I needed to cut down on overhead administrative work so I made it much simpler, so that the reward is only on the first sale and then it becomes property of the shard. The reward is either all of the gold of the first sale, or get a copy of the addon and 50% of the gold sunk. There's also a gold-sharing formula, so that it's not every man for himself, but to promote helping eachother make addons that would sink more gold. So the 50% is put into a shared pot, and all the members who participated in making of the addons for that auction, get an equal share. This is a system that was quickly put together for the first auction, and it stayed for a while, now we're moving to a different system.

Re: Auction February 1st 2025
Items are now on display.
It's the anniversary auction, so the list is quite beefy!
Notes:
- The cave house is a double house. Normally, cave houses and mountain houses come as they are, and can't be expanded further. (however water and star houses, if an owner has 2 or more of them, can be brought together). So this is a first time that such a house is sold as a double-wide. Shoutout to Praise for the idea, came along when I was making it and thought it'd be much more room for design if there were two
- Earring-slot dragon helm goes well together with another helmet, mostly the bone helm. Keep in mind that some other regular helms, have a black halo around them (so that the hair or any other piece of the head doesn't protrude thru the helmet in the paperdoll) so results may vary. The bonehelm combo looks good on male characters only, as female characters have a different bonehelm paperdoll image with a black halo as well. In the auction display room, next to the item, you'll find an NPC with the daemonhelm-bonehelm combo equipped. You'll find five new addons created by our contextual-commands-testing team aka the deco team:
- Potter's workshop made by Praise
- Sparkling bonfire made by Cerrera
- Throne Room Order made by Melkor
- Aztec Sacrifice made by Zalia
- Skeletons in Love made by Arrow
