There will be no theme this round, but we will be testing a significant market change. Here are the changes:

-items on market can no longer be removed
-items on market are in separate packages (no longer joined to those with same type and price)
-prices of market items are editable
-after a market package has been on the market for 48 hours, it will sell at merc prices

Also remember that income from the market goes straight into your bank savings under Clunys Hut.

Please bear in mind we may make modifications during the round to help balance this new change. :)

RWLers, your wish is my command...as long as it complies with the rules.

*-items on market can no longer be removed*

That will ruin some people's game for them.

Means that market storing won't work anymore. Though by themselves I think that these changes might not work entirely as intended. We shall see.

I know. I was saying some people rely on market storing.

...sales from the market are deposited in the bank?

Well.

That explains a lot from last round.

1. Don't like this.  :P
2. Ambivalent
3. Like this
4. Not reasonable. If this is ever moved to reg there will probably be very few things on the market. Even on Turbo.
Although the times will probably be extended later.

Have to say that I've been very skeptical about these changes for the past few months but these changes actually sound really cool  :)

Rakefur

Wait, you knew about them?

These market changes have been in the works for months, I didn't know the specifics of the changes but I knew they were coming

Read the development forums more, there's interesting stuff in there  ;)

Shadow

there is actually a lot more to the market plan than this, but time constraints forced us to start with the simple stuff. It will help us get a look at balances in the meantime, anyway.

not too sure on the 48 hour rule, always nice to go back and find a few mil troops from earlier in the round.

Wouldn't get too excited just yet. As I said, general business has slowed the pace down a little bit, and will for a while yet for me, anyway. Can't speak for Shael though.
