If I buy the perched Eagle, do I have to call it "ident-l5djaB6no8" I was thinking he looks like a "George" :D

9am on a workday here in Australia. :cry: Enjoy this one guys, as usual I won't be in attendance due to work... *Crosses fingers* for the next auction being on Saturday (shard time) so that everyone can attend.

Or, dare I dream, that one day an auction will be on in the morning shard time (ie the afternoon/evening for those of us not in the US)... *Laughs at self* never gonna happen...

At least this one doesn't have any good items I am missing out on....

As always, thanks again for hosting the auction* :)



*EDIT: Added the thanks

Would it be possible to put a portal to the house so we can check out where it is easier?

Not to belittle kids day or such, but I sort of have to agree with having it on a Wednesday when most Americans are working, and the rest of the world asleep is just asking for minimal amount of money to be spent (or removed from the shard as what i thought was the point of auctions).

Any rate another event I will not attend due to time and date.

this is quite true and I can't ever remember logging in and seeing less than 150, even 120 people on. Lately when i log in i see maybe 100 max on.

This... Plus if its Saturday shard time, its the weekend everywhere in the world, everyone can attend. I know it takes time out of your lives to host them, but at some point listening to the players, the people you are hosting the event for, would be nice.

the eagle has to be named ident-l5djaB6no8, it's a compatibility issue with the ISA bus.
(but joking aside, yeah you can, it's an internal name and i dont know how that got here)

Gate to the water house is now open.

When planning the day of the auction, we considered that there's wish for it (sometimes/periodically) being australia-friendly, and sometimes being during the week, for those who work on weekends to be able to attend. This time we went for a workweek option, some other time it will be late on a saturday evening (sunday morning for australians).

To everyone who is upset about it being on a Wednesday. For me personally and im sure there are others. I work weekends and have never been able to attend an auction. It does in fact need to be on other days and times to allow everyone to attend an auction from time to time. Typically these are held on Sundays,so yes to me its a good thing.

I know I always give critical feedback regarding the timing of these things, but I always also thank the staff for putting them on, even when they don't suit me.

Anyone there that got a list of items and the winning prices?

Specifically interested in price of water house, shield appearance change and ethy drake. Thanks.

I am also curious about attendance, was it well attended?
