Overview
The goal of this event is to provide new players a fun method of obtaining goods that are hard for them to trade for in a normal setting. We hope this will increase player retention, build relationships, strengthen cross-regional bonds and foster success in those newest to ATITD.
Auction to be held on 17th Sept 2005 20:00 UTC, at 796, -3522 in Lower Nubia (just north of the LN Chariot Stop).
Auction Rules
- A new player is defined as anyone who's account is 90 days or less on the day of the event, who is not a a mule, nor spouse of another character exceeding this benchmark. Older players are welcome to attend to help carry wood or prizes home for their friends ;-)
- No trial accounts are permitted to participate.
- Players will bid in increments of 5 wood. Wood is the only material accepted since this is easily available to any player and is very easy to store :)
- There are 30 Chests containing the "lots" and players will be bidding on the contents of a chest, with a descriptive label. The precise contents of the chest will be unknown, but it will include a category in its label of "tools", "tuitions", "materials", "building kits" or "meals".
- No single player may win more than 2 auctions, therefore players should be careful to bid on boxes that contain their most needed items.
- "Splits" are permitted, but the players must predetermine which one gains the "win" against allowable total.
- Payment will be taken and Items distributed at the end of each lot.
