I was thinking, having the auction house online, so people can logon to the site. Check there status of sales, place items up for auction, etc etc.

It would be very convenient for myself how about you?

Would be a little difficult to work that out with game mechanics...Considering all the servers, and the turnaround time on certain items.

Now I suppose it would be possible to set something up forum like. With people posting on what they're looking to buy and sell, along with the server they're on. Transactions could be done via the trade option, but then there's always the difficulty of coordinating times/places.

True i agree with that, It would be nice if possible.


Even if the AH, where all inter-connected

IE. BLM sells 12 fire crystals in windhurst on server Pheonix, They are purchased by a WHM in bastok on server Ifrit.

that would influence the economy though, lagging problems could be increased, although a greater range of items would be available.

It wouldn't influence economy. It would completely alter it; whereas members of a specific server would no longer have any real control to influence their economy, as it would now be one serverwide economy. Could you imagine balancing a budget of 500,000 people? And that number is steadily growing. I suspect when March comes around we'll have close to 1,000,000 playing.

And let me just say....damn...there's an awful lot of people playing this game.

Already came up with this idea.

Although mine was that you could not interact with the AH, just view it.
