Online Auction House

[TheReignMan]

I was just curious if anyone has presented the idea of an online multiplayer auction house? The idea would be players who are creating their own cars in single player mode could then put them up for auction on a multiplayer auction house platform where other online players could bid for their cool creations.

I think caps would be in order for those attempting to join the auction so peopls FPS and PING are not overloaded. But to have active multiplayer auctions happening during set times of each day may add another layer of depth to the game for those players who have reached all the levels and are just kind of doing whatever and building whatever.

This might be a great option once the workshop is up and car modifications are available to the original cars released with the game.

Any thoughts anyone?

Also to the devs, I would be more than happy to contribute any ideas surrounding this possible future game option.

They could implement it like the game EVE,the gaming communtiy keeps the auction going with no need for the devs to add items.People could also list things they find in barns and junk yards as well.

I have been thinking about going back to it and my Minmatar lol.I think the key to that game is finding people you get along with and having your own community.

Yeah I was in one of those, still got screwed over. I joined up with one of my sergeants in the service and his group, well some of them we shady individuals and I got ransacked.

i think an in game online auction or online store front to buy used parts! most of the junkyard parts, cant be repaired anyways..

Bad idea. Seeing how many money glitches there are in the game that makes it very easy to get a lot of $. The prices of the cars will be pushed up so high, that the people who do not cheat or use the glitches will never be able to buy one of those cars.

more porblems i see is nobody is intrested in standard car so you'll have to sell the "confgi" with the car. dunno if that is possible anyway. I believ for such a thing the sorting of carmodels should be reworked. at least with every update which ads car models ( and offcourse i still added more then one model) the cars are resetted back to standard.

BUT i think that would be great to share models.
I believe the developpers should have a look at the old game "Street Rod" from old Dos times.
That was great in putting together engines and was one if not the first customization car game.

- a newspaper oder ebay/craigslist with other user parts/cars would be possible i think.
to buy an auction is to hard to do i believe

Well, it's an auction. Prices will be high only if there is demand.

But true, economy should be ironed out before anything of this sort is implemented.

My point exactly. As it is, not possible.

For anything online, economy should be handled server-side so nothing could be altered locally. Very very unlikely to happen in this game.
