There is a new option (in the text category) that allows you to specify how text lists are alphabetized. With it off, it will be as it was - lists are alphabetized across and then down. With the option on, it'll be alphabetized down then across. Right now it only works for the who list, but expect m...

Items will be slowly going out over the next week (ish). A number of items didn't end up being sold, due to either bids that were way too low, lack of bids, or people not following directions. Winners and prices will not be revealed, although if you won an item you'll be told how much was taken out ...

There is a new high(ish) infested area out west. Bristbane Forest has also become repopulated with infested.

Expect a few more hunting areas released in the near future.

Alts.
One alt for the auction, to prevent too many alts from one player getting all the fancy stuff while the rest of the playerbase is left out?
Curious and all that.

No restriction on alts winning things.

Two questions. 1. With the piano, will the winner receive a point in piano skill so that they can gain skill in playing it, or will there be an npc that knows it that they can train from? 2. How will bids for multiple items work? Will you just take the top however many bids? 1. I'm not going to rel...

Look, I posted that on Sunday. Sunday. You had plenty of time to complain then. It's not like Shadgard and Mistral Lake are just empty towns. They're quite populated, and both have space restrictions. It's not like the people of those towns can go "Hey, just plop another ten houses on the edge ...

Items that will have multiple versions: Compass (all items will be similar, perhaps made out of different material) Birds (there will be at least four different cages all with the same scripts) Sheaths (sheaths will be identical) Pocket watches (if demand is high enough) Jewelry box (if demand is hi...

The auction is now live! Please read the rules, as the excuse of "I didn't know" won't be acceptable. The auction is a second price sealed bid auction. The winner (highest bidder) will pay the price that the runner-up bid. If necessary, NPCs will bid on items. You may say, "Why would ...

Sunday at 7:00 PM Mountain, there may be a storytelling event. I say may be because the only thing I will be doing for the event is providing the venue and starting it. All stories will need to be told by players. And if there aren't enough PCs that want to tell stories, it won't happen. So please l...

Some general information about the auction: Many of the smaller, less fancy items will have multiple versions with identical scripts, and slightly different descriptions. These items may or may not be announced ahead of time. Items will not go to inappropriate owners - if, for example, the item need...

"Is anybody in Shadgard/Mistral/Wherever right now?" Players aren't the only ones on the ESP network. Of course there are people in most of the places you'll ask about (potentially not exotic wilderness locations), so there are much better ways to phrase this question. When asking about t...

Bumping this because there's some information from last year.

With the exception of the auction items, nothing in the festival is safe from the janitor. Keep this in mind when you're looking at shop items.

Guess what's starting tonight! There will be a few RP events occurring throughout the week and next weekend (including the return of the storytelling contests so start preparing! Stories should be spring oriented.). There are a bunch of awesome shops with fun items in them, and lots of yummy food. A...

You knew it was coming.

Three of them, to be exact. Information is on the wiki.

The reason that there is an ability requirement now is that the Coalition would not allow just anybody to fill orders. They would only let established members do it, due to needing a certain level of quality.

Information (and a map) is here: http://wiki.contrarium.net/index.php/Haiban

Haiban Imports has opened its doors, although they don't have any new items.

The ballroom is available to rent, for individuals interested in having a fancy occasion.

There's a big difference between expressing amusement and some of the stuff we've seen lately.

There is a bug report guideline, but I thought I'd post some thoughts on bug etiquette. Bug report is not a place to say where you'd like something changed. It is a place for bugs - things that are broken, not things that are inconveniencing you, or things that you would like to be different. We don...

There are no crafting marks because nowhere, for either buyer or seller, is there any sort of identification. You choose to to through an intermediary, then you go through an intermediary, and they have no reason to help you go around them next time.

There seems to be some confusion regarding this. If you turn in a purchase order that requires the materials be in a wagon, they don't take the wagon (it would be a bit silly to store an entire wagon for every single large order). Orders will not be removed except by the person that placed them. If ...

It is not possible for one person to use karma enough to silence another player. Even if you think that one person is abusing karma and using it to be annoying or whatever, this won't do anything. If you feel like a group of people are trolling somebody by using karma, that is another matter entirel...

I'm not sure why it matters. Time in CLOK is for the most part, incredibly sped up. There are some cases where this isn't true (the weather), but in most cases, we greatly shorten the time it would actually take to do something. Could you forge a sword in a few minutes? No. Could you make a wardrobe...
