After a complete redesign, the Character Bazaar has been updated with a new auction system and several quality-of-life improvements. The goal of this rework is to make selling characters more flexible while giving buyers more time to discover listings.
The biggest change is how public auctions now work. Instead of beginning immediately after a character is listed, auctions now remain available until the first valid bid is placed. This means characters can stay on the marketplace for days or even weeks without losing auction time. Once the first bid is received, the 24-hour countdown begins automatically, giving other players a fair chance to compete.
Public Auctions
- Auctions no longer start immediately when listed.
- Listings remain available until the first valid bid is placed.
- The first bid automatically starts a 24-hour auction.
- If no Buy Now price is set, the highest bidder wins when the timer expires.
For players who prefer instant transactions, a Buy Now system has also been implemented. When a Buy Now price is available, buyers can purchase the character instantly using the new dedicated Buy Now button.
Buy Now
- Buy Now is now optional for public auctions.
- Setting the Buy Now price to 0 disables instant purchase.
- Added a dedicated Buy Now button for eligible auctions.
- Characters purchased through Buy Now are transferred immediately.
To improve transparency, Bazaar History has been expanded into a public record of completed auctions and sales. Players can now browse previous transactions to get a better idea of market values and recent activity.
Bazaar History
- Bazaar History is now publicly visible.
- Added starting price and final sale price.
- Added listing type (Auction or Direct Sale).
- Added result (Sold, Expired or Cancelled).
- Added completion date.
- Newly completed sales now preserve the character's level and vocation at the time of sale.
Alongside these features, a number of improvements and fixes have been made throughout the Bazaar interface to provide a smoother experience.
