Cross-server Auction House

Don't know if RoM is already implementing this but if not, then I suggest having this system.

From the looks of Erebos' auction house, though, I don't think so.

I stopped playing RoM a few years ago when a mass of players were leaving, and the drop in population back then was pretty evident from the drastic decrease of the amount of stuff being put up in auction. Now when I came back, even with the merges, I think the stuff put up in auction back in those waning days are still more than the stuff being put up in Erebos now.

It's crazy that the number I'm comparing only concerns one server, imagine a server back then even on its waning days has more stuff than all the merged servers of Erebos now.

So I hope you guys can consider this suggestion (again, only if it's not already being implemented). I know there's a concern about economy but I already experienced this cross-server auction house system in another MMO and it seemed to be working well, or at least I haven't heard any complaints from the playerbase.

I think this would be a positive step towards the interaction within both communities. Not to go too far outside the box, does one limit the ability to the Auction House, or could one see the Mailbox as another possibility (for cross-server exchanges)?

Easier to just get it over with and do another merge and have just one "big" server.

Absolutely, this would be the easiest (and quite possibly best logical) route to take.....but if memory serves correctly, this game tends to takes the long, hard route (which kind of complicate things) over the short, easy route (which would simplify things).

I also thought about another merge, but besides remembering some people back then were against the idea of having only one server, I just don't think they can do another merge fast enough. Even though they already have experience with it. I doubt they can do it again asap.

Compared to a merge, I think they can implement a cross-server auction pretty quick if they wanted to and that would improve the situation quickly. That's why I suggested it. Up to them if they are gonna merge servers again later but I just want to experience some improvement right away.

Well given they were merging 3-4 per servers per day, doesn't seem like it takes so long when they have the resources.

Merge.... There is No Gear in auction house
100 people spending $10 is more profit than 5 spending $100.

It is reasonable, logical and would help greatly. It will never happen.

+1 for merge

But in Europe because of language differences between servers not everything can be merged. So cross-server AH would still totally make sense. Also if cross-server AH was there maybe it could one day allow trading between the US and EU servers. So I would not ditch the idea just because for now merges are a simpler solution to empty AHs.

So also an independent +1 for cross-server AH.

No merge at this time, but a big YES to the cross server AH. ROM's concern may be people shifting a lot of gold from one server to another to support alts.

+2 for merge, my kitty agrees with me.

Cross-server auction house would be nice, but mail box should be included too if thats the case ^.^

Also seems like it would take them longer to implement this as well as take their time away from other fixes they could be doing, where as a merge, they've already developed a system to do that.
