Now why, with time zoned servers, don't they do this maintenance at like 3-4 am when nobody is on!! Not a big deal, but dang it just ticked me off :( I was about to ding too right at d/c lmao Not relevant to this topic, but I logged on this morning to play a little and about 5 minutes into playing it comes up with the 5 min. til server shut down for maintenance.

One method to making money on the Broker besides undercutting, is to scan. Find items that have a large difference between a low price, and the next price up. _ I.e. If there is an apple on the Broker, and the cheapest 4 are for 500.. meanwhile the 5th purchasable apple is for 3000, I would buy 2 of the apples at 500, then put them back on the Broker for 2000. I just quadrupled my money, and I didnt have to farm, make, or find anything. _ This takes less than 2 mins to find, and with 10 slots, you can make a significant amount of cash. Once you have a large pool of money, you can then look past the apples, and into bigger items. ~13 This may hurt my own cash cow, however, I cant be everywhere at all times.

Besides, 2-3 days is more than enough I think. Someone will undercut your prices on common items in minutes anyway.

What would be wrong with allowing people to put unlimited items for sale for 8 days. I don't understand why they limited it to 10 in the first place, I don't see anything bad about selling more than 10 things. Why would they have to lower the 8 days (just wondering).

Cause they'd probably have to lower that significantly if they allow more slots. Nevertheless, I agree with you, it would be a good tradeoff. Do items still stay for 8 days on the auction house?

They could take personal stores completely out, and instead make broker fees a little bit lower and offer extra spaces in the broker to sell things. That was one thing I liked better about WoW (although I hate to admit it), was that you could sell an indefinite number of items at one time. Only having 10 slots to sell things doesn't let you put much up, especially if you're breaking a stack of 100+ of something into smaller amounts. You can use broker alts, but then you have to level each one up to 10. I would trade off no more personal stores for extra broker slots though. They could also implement an "afk report" function where people could report those with personal stores with a spider leg up for 9 mil and once you get 10-15 afk reports it logs you out, but on the other hand that could then be abused by the "reporters".

Time zone oriented servers like Aion, however, with timed events catering to one time zone, will always have the largest number of players between 5pm and 10ish pm, because this is the time frame when most players are getting home from work/school and then going to sleep. I would recommend logging on around 3-4pm and remaining active in some way if you have something scheduled for 7-9pm, because even with the stores gone, you will still be waiting a good 2-3 hours to log onto the game at 8pm.
