Wyrom said it'll be the most expensive silver event in the last ten years.

I've been wondering, what even was 10 years ago?

Gotcha. Date?

He said "one of the most expensive", so it might just be on par with the others.

"This event will have no SimuCoin requirements to participate. It will, however, be one of the most expensive silver events we've ever offered in the last ten years. You will need a paid subscription to enter the area, but that's it."

[Merzbow]

I don't think there's a chance it will approach the drain of the last Great Auction, but we'll see.

I don't think the great auction is comparable to multi-day events.

[Archigeek]

I agree with Ososis. Past CF events were huge silver drains. I do wish they'd charge entry to this though. Otherwise it's going to be bonkers.

I think the reason they're not is sure to F2P. If the charged, F2P would be allowed entry as well.

[Ososis]

I also think the price points will be a major filter.

The https://gswiki.play.net/Great_Auction_of_2016 drained a total of 12,168,230,244 silvers. 12 BILLION SILVERS! Just an FYI.

I'd rather they be allowed, so long as they pay. If you want to keep the numbers manageable, that's just a question of ticket price.

It's not just about how many silvers get spent, it's about having a healthy game economy, one of the long-time hallmarks of Gemstone, which is arguably threatened. This event should be good for that.

[Methais]

They should offer unlimited automated W/P/S services with massive price scaling if they really want to drain the fuck out of silvers.

There might be a 1 service per account limit and if they allowed f2p then people could get multiple items worked on thru unlimited alts.

[Mogonis]

But Wyrom said 12 billion was barely a dent. I think he said there are over a trillion coins total, and that was over a year ago.

That doesn't do much. DR had WPS with exponential price scaling and it was so ridiculous I think nobody went beyond 25 services.

In that case have the whole event be a setup for the great kobold heist of 2018 and wreck everyone’s bank accounts. Then have the kobolds kill all the merchants and be like sorry everyone no services the merchants are all dead.

There might be silvers entry cost.

The outrage would totally be worth it.

[Methais]

not sure if this was said but anyone know when exactly the event is?

It's exactly in May.

Wasn't that Stump?

CCF:
* Tentatively May 13th to the 15th.
* There will be a service schedule like previous versions.
* Live merchants for the majority of services (with normal selection processes [spinner, raffles, lists, room order, etc]).
* Grounds will be the aftermath of siding with the Dryad.
* Little to no shops (TBD)
