AO Global Market Interface How-To Videos

[Traderjill]

For anyone interested, I put together a video guide series covering the use of the new GMI.

This is my first attempt at doing any sort of 'how-to' videos so I don't claim that they're perfect but they do give (I think) a pretty good overview of basic use of the GMI.

Feel free to provide any constructive feedback.

Info not covered in the videos:
- Maximum number of credits that can be held in the market account: 4,000,000,000
- Maximum number of stacked items that can be held in a single inventory slot: Per Macrosun not something we'll ever have to worry about reaching

Very nice!

Maximum credits in the market inventory is 4000000000. The stack size limit is so high that i doubt anyone will reach it.

4 credit caps? Isn't that high is it? Isn't a QL300 CSS set worth more than that?

[MassDebater]

I would think closer to 3b now.

Never ever doubt players? :P P.s.: Is it 4b?

[Ekarona]

Ah 4B I can stock some of credits somewhere ;D That's a good thing.

Great post Thumbs up +1

You know that some players got orgs just to hold their creds right? + toons on froob accounts, what makes you think that 4b will be enough?

Traderjill has been a front runner of feedback on the new GMS/ GMI transition and I vote the portable market interface be renamed to reflect the change and honor her for her above-and-beyond initiative helping the community adjust, I dub thee the "Jill's Trader post" or "Jill's Pocket Shop"

any other recommendations?

[Mastablasta]

Nice videos Thanks for making them!

I'll take naming rights if I can get the sales tax and creation fees deposited to my account

Otherwise, thanks for the compliment but I think Portable Market Interface works Or of course it could be the Macrohabenle Market Interface named after the folks that did all of the work to get the GMI on live (referring to Macrosun/Genele/Vhab) :P

Maybe put a link to this thread inside of Tarib's sticky thread about the market changes ...

Since this one was beacon-warped to the Knowledge forums?

Great videos, wonderful work. Now if you could do one on trades between servers, that would help me a lot, as I don't intend to use the GMI for buying or selling because of the ridiculous charges for doing so, and with the impending server merge, I wish to clear out all my good items from the other server so I don't lose them.

[Schredderfix]

You say 4.000.000.000 is max in market inventory.

And what happens if you transfer it?

Isnt the cap on every char 999.999.999 ?

If you withdraw money from the GMI you get it via a mail message. I do not believe that you can send more than 999,999,999 via the mail or withdraw more than that at a time from the market. Regardless, as a player you should be able to figure out what increments you need to withdraw so you're not attempting to exceed your limit.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking.. but hopefully that covers it.

I answered this question at least a dozen times yesterday so I went ahead and created a video to cover it. It is actually pretty easy to do item/cred transfers between servers (for a cost, ofc). Updated the original post with the link to video 7 though it probably wont be available for viewing for another 2 minutes or so from the posting of this message

Good to see the GMI is so intuitive I need to go watch 7 videos to understand how to use it.

Of course created by one of the players.

Good job Funcom.

Question: What happens when sell orders expire? Do I have 7 days to claim them from the mail? What about buy orders, 7 days as well?
