which makes the experiment interesting. just like in the real world, you might need to move around to get the best deal!

8 Pages when there are tools to help with this and as someone already posted, you can scroll up and stop the spam and you can safely click.

Can't click because the spam is too fast, that's rich.

if im really looking to buy/sell stuff i usually make my chat window HUGE and the spam is barely noticeable.

Also we have the auction tracker which keeps PC spam way down, and the ec forum which is another huge help.

maybe its just me but i dont have much trouble keeping up with the spam.

Just make an auction house like Wow or Diablo 3 where you post stuff for sale and leave and play the game. Later you come and pick up your money if it sold.
Or make an official forum where you can post what you have for sale or want to buy.

It'd be cool if people would also auction in the next zone over, maybe North Ro. With EC getting bigger and bigger it'd at least split up the spam. Like having Kmart next to Walmart.

Luclin in the beginning did not have PoK or PoK stones. But it did have Nexus with Pads for the Spires. And I really liked the original Baazar and I loved a Beastlord. Best class they have ever had. So yeah, I liked Cats on the Moon. Sorry. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Pok is sort of what ruined the game.

I still recommend limiting auction msgs to 1 per minute per player.

Altho on my mule its setup so I don't have much reason to complain about spam.

Tips on how to use EC well.

1. Make new chat window
2. Expand new chat window to cover whole screen
3. Use the filter for auc only
4. Use the side bar to regulate pace of auctions.

Best idea EVER but it makes no difference to me b/c I can speed-read! Make it even 5 MINS! Most of us know the precise time that makes repeating our auction acceptable and the shitty goddamn spammers that we just ignore.

The server is not 100% classic and can never be, so everyone shut up with the classic argument, it's so fucking stupid now. Item links are the bomb, noone would ever want them gone.

Rogean has provided us all with something that is so damn close (99.44% pure as Ivory Soap), we should be eternally grateful to him for the chance of re-living something most of us experienced 15 years ago.
