Entropy Report post Posted March 1, 2006 Ok, the selling part is implemented, as is the auctioning. I want them tested before I move to the Buy part (if there is enough popular demand for that). Who can test it: Everyone who wants and has the ubber technical ability to use the test server (port 2001) Who SHOULD test it: Any guild that plans to buy an NPC for ingame money. Currently there are two of them, in IP on the test server. Money is available for those who want to test it. Please report any bugs here. In case there are bugs, you want to report them rather than wait for it to go in the normal server and then exploit the bugs. Because if you do that you get banned. By default, only those with a guild rank greater than 18 can test most of the function, so talk with your guildmaster or make a new guild or something. Thank you! P.S. If you don't know how to go on the test server, don't ask, it means you shouldn't go there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dns_server Report post Posted March 1, 2006 (TC) has controll of both npc's, is there a way of resetting the server or createing a lot more npc's for us to test it? If possible would it be possible to give some more gold to all people with accounts there a fiew thousand gold. i have 50k there but would that be enough for createing a guild (seing our guild doesn't have a leader there) and purchaseing the npc's?

Torg Report post Posted March 1, 2006 (TC) has controll of both npc's, is there a way of resetting the server or createing a lot more npc's for us to test it? I believe there to be another test at the same time as the one today/yesterday. Unfortunatly, due to working on Trin, and simply being tired. I can't recall when it actually happened, only that I was there, and they actually weren't both bought by TC, that was a bug. Hmmm, this is starting to sound like early morning... probably around 9am-10am. If possible would it be possible to give some more gold to all people with accounts there a fiew thousand gold. i have 50k there but would that be enough for createing a guild (seing our guild doesn't have a leader there) and purchaseing the npc's? I secured a reasonable fortune with which we can bid... I just don't have a high enough rank, so I'll have to transfer some to. Come back into IRC so we can work it out. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torg Report post Posted March 1, 2006 Hmmm, this is starting to sound like early morning... probably around 9am-10am. Actually... it was done after this post was put up some time. So not so early morning (but still early!)... probably closer to 12:30-1pm AEST. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bkc56 Report post Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) By default, only those with a guild rank greater than 18 can test most of the function... I went to have a talk with them as a rank 5. There's a "buy" option, but nothing to buy (which I guess makes sense if my rank is to low, but it's not very helpful). The other option is "Just passing by", but selecting that doesn't do anything. They don't say "bye" or anything, it just stays at that screen. Yea, real minor, but it's all I found so far. Edit: I've been changed to a rank 18 on the test server and I still can't see any options, buy anything, or see any "help" or "place a bid" as Aislinn talks about. So, is this a defect, or am I simply missing something obvious? Edited March 1, 2006 by bkc56 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aislinn Report post Posted March 1, 2006 I think the "help" option should be in the first bunch of options, not come up AFTER you click "place a bid". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bkc56 Report post Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) Well, what else do you expect as a rank 5? Being able to administer them? Nope, just test them as requested. I just appears my tests as rank 5 and later as rank 18 were to little, to late. And if you were referring to the "not very helpful" part, that was due to the NPCs providing a "buy" option when there was nothing to buy. Made it hard to test the selling part which was stated to be implemented. Edited March 1, 2006 by bkc56 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted March 2, 2006 It is impossible for the NPC to know if it has something to sell to you (since this is a multiuser enviroment). Of course, under real life situations, the NPC will always have something to sell, otherwise what's the point in getting one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either that or it was never avaiable, and you are an asshole cheater." lol There was nobody around btw, so it cant have been that someone else quickly bought it right before me. --- edit: correct message now, including the avaiable typo Edited March 2, 2006 by Nidan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
