    Hi Space Pilots,


    Today we have opened the Test Server again for you to check out the latest version of our Auction House!


    We have made the following changes:


    · Items are now categorized as in the Shop.​

    · We added several search filters that will allow you to easier find what you are looking for.​

    o Items (Ammunition, Weapons, Generators, Ship designs, Extras, CBS modules, Boosters, Special)​

    o Current auction, My Bids, Previous Auctions​

    o Etc.​

    · You will receive ingame mails when​

    o You have won a bid.​

    o Someone made a higher bid.​

    o The auction ended without you making a higher bid.​

    · There are now three different types of auctions. NOTE: On the test server “one hour” lasts 5 real minutes, “a day” is 15 minutes long and “a week” lasts one hour in real time. When the feature goes live the auctions run in real time.

    o Hourly auctions offer common premium items​

    o Daily auction include uncommon premium items. These start at 0:00h local server time (LST) and run for 24 hours.​

    o Weekly auctions – here you can purchase rare premium (Uridium) items. Such auctions start on Monday at 0:00h LST and end on Sunday 23:59:59h LST.​

    · During certain events you will also find special Event Items in the auction house.​

    · You can see the highest bid and the user who made this bid.​


    The new interface also shows also more detailed information on the item, the bid and how long the offer is running.


    In short: The auction house is now much easier to use, give you a much better overview what is going on and adds many more items to the list.


    Give the new system a good and thorough look and test the system in any way, shape or form you can think of.


    Also we have implemented a few changes that will make the client load faster and with less “overhead”. You should notice that the game is now loading much quicker and produces less data consumption. We do this because we found out that when the game is loading we already send you graphics, sounds and other things that are not needed the moment you start.


    If you notice anything weird when you start the game the first time after the patch, please let us know. Make sure to tell us what map you are on and whether you are missing some graphics, sounds or visual effects.


    Just one note: We are not looking at gameplay testing or feedback on anything in the client. That’s why we do not give you enormous amounts of Uridium this time!


    Have fun with the new auction house and please post your feedback on the forums.


    Thanks you.

    Your Dark Orbit Team
