Suggestion:

Checking the Auction House online after logging on to the website.

Reasons:

* Not all of us can boot up Spiral Knights from work. I know, I know it's not supposed to be like that. But on my lunch break I'd like to be able to manage my inventory and sell items.
* Doing this will allow more people to be involved with the market place forum I think.

Quite a number of games have online access to things like AHs. You often have limited available options, but can at least monitor the prices/timers of things, at an absolute minimum.
Depending on the coding work involved in making, say a flash page dedicated to showing the AH, I wouldn't be against this, although would never use it myself.

Hey Brady,

I wouldn't see a Flash page being great. Mostly because you can't use the correct ports at the most.

PHP would allow restrictions depending on accounts. As most of us know theres 2 types of SpiralKnights accounts. Paid and Unpaid. This could be a restriction for the amount of searches done per 24 hours or something.

Oh, I don't know coding to

Oh, I don't know coding to any degree, I was just using it as an example. I just meant that having an online page that interacted (to any degree) with the ingame AH would cause no problems that I can foresee -the only downside is the coding time involved-, and would surely be of use to the large number of merchants in the game.

I'm more than happy to code it if an API is given out haha

A Flash page = a big NO NO anyway. Irthan, can I count you on the petition?

'S a start. I'm really hoping for an energy/cash/items/mail API, but the AH doesn't require auth and would be a good start. So yes.

Hopefully it won't have massive lag like the in-game AH.

I was talking about the actual Auction House in the game. When you have a lot of auctions running, the game slows to a crawl.

@Bradlyspicer

You probably don't bother with the Auction House as much as me.

I buy up all of the cheap mats and resell them on the Auction House for a higher price. I keep buying out any new mats being sold for lower prices than mine and then put them back up for sale. I actually make money off of that.

Every run, I take all my mats and sell them individually. If I pass up Basil, I buy his entire stock and sell it on the AH.

At any given time, I probably account for 5 pages of dark shards, 3 pages of light shards, 2 pages of torch stone, 1 page of ecto drops, and half a page of flame souls; and that's only from the drops I get on FSC runs, not taking into account the mats I purchase and resell.

I probably have 150 - 200 active auctions running right now, and most likely 300 - 400 auctions that I've already sold are still listed in the auction tab for no good reason.

When I click that auction tab, SK hangs for about 30 - 40 seconds while it populates the list, and then while I still have the tab selected I get about 8 - 10 FPS.

That's the kind of lag I'm talking about. It's extremely aggravating having to sit through that lag every time I visit the AH.

@ Laraso

In that case the API should make things ALOT easier for you :) if they do release the API and allow people to use and manipulate it to suit your needs it could be possible to make 'regular' auctions meaning you don't have to handle the in game Auction house :)

I usually sell swords such as Brandishes etc with Varients.

I actually found this page by trying to figure out how to do this very thing. I would love to sign the petition.

I think this should be a steam-only feature, since that already has an online inventory-management component. Are there any other steam games that let you AH/Bazaar your Steam Inventory via a web interface?

Also, this is a HUGE project for OOO. To make public APIs for this opens a whole new realm of security vulnerabilities.
Would be neat if they did it though!

Is this still being worked on? If it is, that would be GREAT. You can even email GH for some support from their end for approving the sight, etc.
I tried the link, but it unfourtantly didn't work, which probably means the development is dead, but its just a thought :)
