Grand Auction and IDOC event - Feburary 20-21, 2021

Post by +Colibri »

The grand auction is in two parts:

- 1st part (all items): Saturday, February 20th at 20:00 shard time.
- 2nd part (deco duplicates): Sunday, February 21st at 20:00 shard time.

The items are listed below. They are now also on display in the auction display room (Town center -> auction hall -> through the green gate).

The second part of the auction will soon be followed by the IDOC event:
- IDOC event on Sunday, February 21st, at 22:00 shard time.

Also, donation bonus is starting this weekend. More info will be posted on Saturday.





These items will be sold on the Saturday auction only:
Explosive Dip tub

... and there might be some surprise items at the end.
(note: in the past, at one grand auction or maybe two, we sold double special items - both on the Saturday and Sunday auctions. As of this auction, the special items will be unique and - only one of each will be sold on Saturday, there will be no doubles on Sunday)

Woohoo! I probably can't make the idoc and Sunday auction, but glad the main auction is hosted on Saturday... Although I'm probably too broke to win anything there....

Hello +Colibri

Thank you for making this event. Is there any reason the IDOC event is happening so late on Sunday? This makes it very difficult for anyone living in Europe to attend.

Thank you

All the more reason to host it on a Saturday, at least the majority of people wont have to work the next day.

Maybe holding it on Late on Sunday is so less people attend and more stuff *poofs* into the void to control inflation a bit.

Yeah I wish the IDOC was Saturday too so I could attend. The "Sunday" events (almost all the small auctions) end up being 7-9am Monday morning for us Aussies... we're at work then... Saturday would make it more globally inclusive, rather than preferencing the US, but I am just happy to see it happen.

Possibly +C you could considering doing the IDOCs on Saturdays moving forward to allow more players to attend?

Thanks +C, you cant make everyone happy. No matter how many times its changed someone will comment saying how it doesn't fit into their schedule. I'm just glad to see things happening. Most people in the US will likely be doing church stuff since its sunday.

Some of us might be sitting around on Sunday praying to God for a change in this horrible weather, but the majority of us are heathens so Sunday @ 22:00 is just fine! :twisted:

i can't say anything for auction but if i remember correctly, idoc events must be planning a weeks or 10 days before? sending mail to the players? etc.
i think if we can postpone the idoc activity for next week and saturday 27 many players can participate.

I cant speak for everyone but I know that people have gotten emails a week ago about houses going down. A bunch of old vets have come and refreshed their house, I know because I've been stalking them since +Colibri said to start looking on last Tuesday because he was sending email out later that day.

Count this Heathen in. This will be my first IDOC and Grand Auction. I doubt I will be able to afford anything at auction but it should be fun to watch. I have a runebook full of IDOC's I am watching..... Bring on the fun.
