EF link to auction

[Queen]

Not sure this is posible but would be nice if i could scan the auction tru forum without logging into entropia.
Just a thot kinda a wish or dream i have.

[zero wolve kool]

I have to agree with this... During my lunch times would be nice to be kept updated on which items are for sale as I cant login to EU with my work PC.

But Nice wish

I remember along time ago somthing like this came up, the thing being is that MA will not allow outside / web based results and or interactions with the auction, as far as I know this would have to be done in part with MA help!

Well if it is possible Why cant 711 work something out with MA then?

I can't understand why they wouldn't like to allow read-only access.
Ofcourse they don't want a fully functioning web auction, and I don't think regular players do either, then auction would be totally taken over by non-players I'd say.

But just a website with some decent sorting and display and some market graphs is sooo simple to set up, and if you let it mirror the auction db once every minute or so, the added load on the database is negligible.

I've toyed with the idea of doing this myself, I even have everything needed to set it up rather quickly, but it falls on two things really:

1. It would have to be an autmated bot clicking through the auction -> Clear EULA Break
2. It would need a dedicated user scanning the auction constanly, and I don't want to use my own (I want to play!) -> Clear EULA break...

I would prefer if MA had an interface on their website to take part in the auction even when outside the game...

I sent a ticket in on this but one voice is not enough, i hope others will follow my lead and send a ticket on this. Would be a very nice feature to be able to scan auction while not being logged into entropia.
So get to typing send those tickets if you want this.

Yep, good thinking there

[endermigne]

I'd say it would be simpler to have an RSS-feed of things put into auction and one with things with one hour left (i.e. not have been bought out yet) for bidding.

Then simply put a filter around that (e.g. "Eon Thigh-Guards(M)") and you're all set to get your stuff.

But you are also aware that such an interface on entropiauniverse official website, would bring even more resselers to game ? Enuff to create Avy make one large deposit and start ...."trade", while browsing another websites. No need to login into game again, ever. Auction is preety full of them already, bidding for everything and putting back for much higher price. No need make their lives easier even more.
