Hi all,

On July 30th, we will be holding a silvers-only Premium Auction. The exact time will be announced a little closer to the event itself, but it will be in the evening hours. This Auction will feature mechanical items, fluff items, and customizations/services.

One very important note: This is intended as a Premium Perk. To that end, players will be required to have maintained a paid Premium Subscription (trial/promo accounts will not count) for 80 continuous days leading up to the event itself. This means that the streak must begin May 7th, and be continuous through to the Auction. If your account is not currently Premium, or you are on a trial or promo account, you have until May 7th to change over to a paid Premium account, if you would like to access the Auction.

Further notes:

* Though this is a silvers-only Auction, there will be chances for attendees to win some of the lesser items/services for sale. These opportunities might take many forms, so be prepared.

* There will be no mass RPA awarded at this event.

* Some of the services that will be for Auction will be Delayed Services. This will be made clear before bidding begins for the one of these services, so that people can decide if they still wish to bid.

* This is not intended to be a one-time event, but neither will we be providing a firm schedule for any subsequent Premium Auctions. We want to see how this goes before committing to anything.

* There will be no further teasers provided.

* Many, many thanks to GMs Wyrom, Estild, Mazreth, Zoelle, and Jainna for their help getting this put together!

Hi all,

The Premium Auction will be held starting at 9pm EST on Saturday, July 30th, in both Prime and Platinum. The doors will open 15 minutes beforehand, and plenty of notice will be given in the weeks leading up to the event, letting people know where to be.

It’s very important to note that while Prime and Platinum are running concurrently, and there will absolutely be some overlap, there is no guarantee that methodologies, services, sequencing, or even auction items themselves will be present in both instances. Which is to say, just because you see “it” in one instance, don’t assume “it” will show up in the other one.

To respond to a couple of questions I have seen so far:
– Players will have to have notes or silvers on their person in order to bid.
– There are no limits to the number of items a character or account may win.

Thanks!
