Omni Trade, Rubi-KA-1 /Press Release/ -- The Dark Carnival in conjunction with MMORG Auctions will be hosting the largest
ever Anarchy Online in-game auction on Saturday, December 8, 2001. Over 200 high-quality (items greater then QL100) will be available for auction. While the items will be auctioned in all auction channels across Rubi-Ka, the bidding for the items will ONLY occur at the mmorgauctions.com web site.
This auction is being conducted as a service to the AO community, and it offers the chance for everyone to bid on unique and hard to find items in the game. The proceeds from this auction will go to the guild bank, and the credits will be used to fund further Dark Carnival events across Rubi-Ka.

In addition to the auction, we will have guild member specialists available in Omni Trade to buff anyone that needs help equipping their new armor or weapons. We will be offering free buffs such as Superior First Aid (+80 Treatment), Wrangler, Essense, and much, much more. These members will be available in Omni Trade Highrise #17 located at the coordinates of 226, 289 in Omni Trade. Feel free to stop by for your free buffs!

Questions & Answers:
1. Do I need to be on-online to bid on the items?
No, the bidding for the auctions will occur only at www.mmorgauctions.com. This can be viewed from any internet connection and browser software.
2. Can I place bids directly with The Dark Carnival guild members?
No, we will only be accepting bids on the web page. Because of the anticipated demand and difficulty in tracking winners and inventory, the web site will be the sole bidding vehicle for the auction. In addition, it gives the opportunity for people not playing AO at that time to bid on the items.
3. Can I bid for items in advance?
Yes! Visit the link at http://www.mmorgauctions.com/cgi-bin...2&Lang=English to review and place pre-bids!
4. When can I take delivery of the equipment?
We will be available all day on Saturday, December 8 for item pickup. We will be located insdie Omni Trade Highrise #17 at the coordinates of 226, 289. If the items are not picked up within 48 hours of the auction close, however, the item will be re-auctioned.
5. I know The Dark Carnival is an Omni-Tek guild, if I am clan, can I bid on the items?
Absolutly
6. Bidding on items on the Internet is cumbersome if I'm playing the game. Why can't I bid on the items directly in-game?
Because of the anticipated demand and difficulty in tracking such a large auction and inventory, using the web page is the most efficient and practical manner available for us. We might suggest that you play in "windowed" mode during the Saturday event if you already don't do so. That way you can just "alt-tab" to the browser to review and rebid on items.
7. Is the auction site like Ebay?
Yes, but there is one major IMPORTANT difference. When you bid on an item, the new auction price becomes what you bid. For example, if an item is currently selling for 500K, and you bid 1 million, the new price is 1 million. On Ebay, the new price would go to 510K, and whenever someone else bids, your price is automatically increased up to your maximum bid. BE CAREFUL ON YOUR BIDS!
