P99 Auctions is Closing

[maskedmelon]

My condolences to the p99auctions team on their loss, but a huge thank you to the asshole responsible for ridding us of this non-classic feature.

The site was being heavily exploited by a handful of individuals using armies of alts to established their preferred prices on items.

The site's existence also diluted social interaction. Since th rise of p99auctions players have become less sociable and more unpleasant whenever encountering an offer (buy or sell) deviating from the price established by the spammers.

I used to have fun when I needed to dump my wares in EC. More recently I dread going there because of player attitudes associated with that site.

I am certain an alternative will rise in short order to fill the void, liberating players from the burden of choice.

For now though, good riddance.
