    Hey, so it recently occured to me - we have an in-game market but why not have a Forum Market too?

    Let me explain a bit better:
    This new category would be called something like 'Trade/Buy/Sell' and in this category people could create their own businesses(E.G Mining Business - Mine for people for MyMs) instead of having to advertise in-game. This will also allow users to sell things in bulk instead of manually adding an object one by one to the /market in-game. I personally think this would be good as it gives users a bigger reason to use the forums and to sell, trade and buy items with ease instead of having to go through the market each time for their items - it also helps as if people have an in-game shop then they wont need to constantly 'TPA' people to them.

    If this seems a little vague, please reply and I'll edit it as best as I can.

    We already had that before but it never got used. Just post it in community talk.

    But seeing as the playerbase and variety of servers have increased dramatically - I think it may be used - and you could also advert it on the broadcasts.

    I think it would be even less. Because at the time we had it there was only one server with 50 players nearly constantly.

    I would love to see a buy order option. Someting like:
    /market buyorder
    Players could post a demand for something and prepay it.

    I like this idea, a lot! Then maybe users could do something like '/market listorders' and then they can trade via that - but one issue, what if somebody wanted a different price? Would they leave it?

    I would not have pre pay. I would have auto pay once order is complete.

    Prepay would prevent fraud I think. And it would make the trade instant without for both sides to wait for items and money to transfer.

    /Market Request (Item) (Amount)
    "Trade" Forums (see what players want to buy)

    /Market Sell (Item) (Player) (amount)
    Private Marketing. (For trading)

    /Market buy (Item) (Price Limit) (Count Limit)
    Auto buy items from the market that are under the price limit and can fit within the Count.

    Like slind and sirwill have said this probably will not be used much or at all by players. So if it isn't going to get used, it will be eventually disabled again.
