Okay, I confess, I’m spending a goodly time hanging at Wentworths and doing crafting and all that. I’m not as fanatical about it as some, and sometimes it’s an “I have some free time but don’t want to sign off, so let’s just do something” activity, but I’m still at least mildly hooked. Honestly speaking, it’s the money\/influence. Even though everyone swears up and down you don’t need XOs and IOs to make an effective character, I still feel like I’m missing out on something when I don’t actually sell that Deific Weapon for 4 million at auction. And as long as I’m doing that … well, heck, I got this recipe dropped on me and I have almost all the ingredients … and …<\/p>\n
Yeah.<\/p>\n
The problem is, of course, I’m an altaholic, which means I have plenty of characters to do this with. Even just looking at my main duos with Margie, we have several that we cycle between.<\/p>\n
It is a little-known fact that auction stuff gets flushed after, oh, something like 30 days of inactivity.<\/p>\n
You see where I’m going.<\/p>\n
Yes, with various hiatuses in playing, there have been times when I’ve returned to a character — “45 day ago” — only to discover that all that money I had invested in bidding on stuff has essentially vanished. Basically, if a transaction was accomplished (as they almost always are over time), then that “bought” or “sold” has vanished after the expiry date, taking with it the item or the influence.<\/p>\n
*sigh*<\/p>\n
