According to the game guide on the main site there's an auction house as well, so I'm guessing they're just giving you both options by adding private shops. Personally I'd stick with the auction house, but the amount of private shops will depend on the limitations there might be to the auction house, I guess. So we'll see about the lag when the game comes around.

As for the delay, I'm not really upset since I didn't find the game untill recently. Imo it's nice to see that the developers of the game is listening to the community. That's a rare sight for me and a main reason I quitted another game not too long ago. The new additions sounds really cool and is totally worth the extra wait imo. This game looks promising, so keep up the good work!

Well, other than the Private Shops, which is something I condemn, everything sounds wonderful.

This game will still start strong regardless of the delays. I was worried about that but I'm not anymore.

Can't wait and I know there's a whole group of us sitting here excitedly waiting to be ale to play
We ♥ LO
It sounds like the MOST amazing game EVER!!
Hope beta starts soon D:

I agree with you for the most part, but I don't think it's going to be a big deal like you make out. The game has an Auction House and most people will make use of the AH rather than private shops. But private shops are nice for people like Potioncrafters for getting rid of their stuff with less hassle. Avoids auction fees, don't have to spend ages listing up each individual item and don't have to worry about limits on auctions (can't remember if Lime did or not, but most games only let you place X amount of items up at once). I guarantee anything notable will be going up on the AH rather than sold in private shops.

Can't complain about the wait time because many other stuff I can be doing in the mean time but love to see all the updates yall will be making. Looks awesome and can't wait for the release.

I poked back at them asking how, if all, this would effect combat; I'm still awaiting a response. I also mentioned that issues such as combat delay and white damage were some of the main pain points expressed by users during the Alpha tests.

I think this is the core issue that should be dealt with and what will make or break this game to be a smash hit or a mediocre mash up. It seemed that combat stats did nothing except for vitality. Weapon speed seemed meaning less as the game turned into a skill spammer with skills doing fixed damage with no improvement from stats in any way and weapon damage was pitiful. Seemed like the game was geared around everyone having every weapon modded to +10 for damage to work.

I hope this is addressed so all the other proposed changes are not for naught.

AH as fees and while it's not a big deal for your common day uses if you want to sell a rare at hight price the fee to put it in AH can be really hight and then if it dosen't sell it's just wasted money.

If i remenber well the down payment of AH is 10% of the items sells price so selling something in AH for 100g will only get you 90g, if it sells ,while it would get you a clean 100g if you sold it via a private shop.

Few months huh? That's warranted, considering you're revamping practically everything about the game, from the battle system, to the guilds, to player interaction.

I have only thing to say, just make sure that black box testing is done with the end gamer in mind. The White box testing will be done by the gamers properly in the Third Alpha or ... if you're that hopeful, the CB. Take your time and DO NOT RUSH. People are prepared to wait for the game, don't trip over your own feet by promising any fast results. Quick fixes and small band aids over big wounds are never the answer. This I say to Sirius more than Aeria. I've watched so many games die because of proper communication between the end gamer and the developer. Keep and maintain an open line of communication between dev and gamer. You'll need that more than anything.
