Central Market Preorders, is there....

Central Market Preorders.
Is there a way to see where you sit currently in line waiting on your preorder to be filled?
If yes, how?
If no, that would be a nice feature.
Show where you are in line with your preorder per the silver you chose to pay.

From my understanding there isnt really a waiting list per se as it picks randomly. Even if the seller picks the lone price on CM it can still go to someone else with a preorder.

As far as I am aware, which is not very far (but I would like to know how accurate this is), the central market is like a real market situation. The only time an item becomes available to buy is after someone (a BDO account holder) either makes that item in the game or obtains it in some other way in-game and then puts it up for sale on the market. Nothing just appears out of nowhere as an item to buy - or pre-order. The market sale prices of course are the result of some sort of game algorhythm based on in-game supply and demand activity.

Am I right?

Like the first comment said, there is no line at all.

If there's a thousand pre-orders on an item and you put yours up, there's a chance you get the next item of that kind that someone puts up, it's random. No first come, first serve at all.

It's pretty obvious if you pay attention and deal with pre-orders a lot, like when they give out a free pet again like they did with some hawk last year iirc, and i kept putting up pre-orders and kept getting some even though there were tons of other pre-orders and i was clearly not the first to put in mine.

Not first come first server per silver line, random, that's not fair.
That means someone could have a preorder in at top price, wait months and months, and never see their preorder full filled. 😞

I wish someone from PA would clarify this.

Preorders are filled randomly so everyone has an equal chance at an item if there is one posted. It's honestly the most fair because then if it was first come first serve the high end gear with 1000 preorders there would be no point to preorder as you would be waiting for who knows how long for it to work down to you.

I guess that is why it took six months for me to finally get my Urugon's Shoes preorder back around 20 months ago. :sigh:

EDIT: This was way back when Urugon's Shoes did not flood the market.
