  1. Hi there @Mingrenpro I have locked your thread, as there are some important details to cover first. Prices are indeed at your own discretion, so if you'd like to give Guildie rates, friend discounts or just generally open yourself up to negotiation, that's fine - however ensure that when you make these agreements, evidence of the agreed price is made and kept, so that it can be made available on Staff request should anything go wrong. However, you cannot offer prices based on nationality. This is discrimination, and may also open the door to topics branching into racism. This is not acceptable outside of PRO, and it is definitely not acceptable within PRO. To be clear, this is what I am referencing: You are welcome to create a new post, however you must adjust your pricing model and remove the discriminatory elements. Some optional advice, that I'd strongly recommend you follow, is where you have stated the above, to include details regarding the Game Rules, in particular the following: I would also suggest the inclusion of asking your buyers to change their password after you have logged in, to give them peace of mind in relation to their account's safety. This is at their discretion, so if they choose not to do so, that's their choice - however it is better to be safe than to sorry, and as a service provider you should encourage the same mindset.
  2. Hi there @Pentix22 I have removed your most recent bid on the auction, but I am unable to remove the earlier one for 1m200 as it was outbid by multiple bidders. Although I appreciate you letting us know - and thank you for this - please take more care in future, as this can unduly inflate an auction meaning someone ends up paying well over what they may have needed to and cause a lot of issues. I'll lock this thread as there's no further action or reply required from you. Please stay safe and take care.
  3. Hi there @Meluccio I can see you're a new player, so I wanted to clear this up for the future. This is a false bid, when you make your bid, you must have the money on your account at the time of making your bid, this is detailed further in the Trade & Auction Rules, which I recommend you read carefully before trading further, in particular the following: On this occasion, I'll let you off with this verbal warning - a warning will also be applied to your forum account. Be aware should this be repeated, disciplinary action will be taken against your account. - For clarification for others taking part in this auction, since Meluccio's bid has been outbid multiple times, the auction will continue as it is. Should any of you see this in the future, please make a report to alert Staff. ^^
  4. Hi there @Kanha777 The merge is broken down into two-halves, both parts will happen at the same time. The first half is a server merge, the second is the multi-account merge. The server merge will merge all user data across Blue, Red, Silver and Gold (formerly Yellow) into a singular server. The multi-account merge is a little more complicated. Currently, we define an "account" as a player profile with the ability to have one "character" per server, where you log in with your character name. Players may have 4 accounts currently, with potential for 8 characters. The multi-account merge will essentially reverse this, an "account" will be defined as a player profile with the ability to have multiple characters associated, where you log in with your e-mail address. When this is in place, players may have 1 account only, with more characters than you can possible have now (no cap set as of yet, that may change but will be announced if that's the case). In terms of how that comes into effect, the simplest way I can explain this is to go step by step: The first step, will be to merge all accounts associated with the same e-mail address. If your accounts are all associated with the same e-mail already, there's no action you need to take. If your accounts are currently all associated with different e-mail addresses, they will be treated as different accounts will need to be manually merged. The second step, will be to deal with characters where currently, both characters associated with the account have progress on Gold and Silver. For example, if my Yellow account has 100 hours on Silver, and 100 hours on Gold, both characters will qualify for the merge, so when the merge happens, I will be prompted to change my character names, as the name cannot exist twice on the new server. The third step, will be to deal with characters that are currently not merged, with more than 10 minutes playtime on Red or Blue. These will also qualify for the merge. These will be treated the same as the accounts in the second step, where more than one character is merged. The fourth step, will be to address characters that have less than 10 minutes playtime AND haven't been played in the last 6 months. These will be deleted. So let's say your account, TTlovesMom has 100 hours on Silver, but 5 minutes on Gold, the Gold one will be deleted, but you will keep the Silver one. My advice for you, and all players would be get ready sooner rather than later. If your accounts are associated with different e-mail addresses, change the e-mail on them to the same one - you can do this via the Dashboard. What we'll likely see happen is a lot of players leaving this until the last minute, or after the merge has happened, then running into issues with 2FA, and because of this response times will be much slower because Staff'll be dealing with that many more requests. In the near future, a sub-forum will be made to help funnel account change requests where players get stuck, but for now please use the 2FA / Email Recovery sub-forum. Likewise, if you have an account with less than 10 minutes progress, that you've not logged into in the last 6 months, and you want to keep it - log into it, or play on it until it surpasses 10 minutes. I hope this gives you some peace of mind. If you have any further questions please feel free to respond, I'm happy to explain more if needed.
  5. Hi there @Ibluayasaki The mail you sent has been deleted, and the items contained have been returned to you. You will find them in your inventory: 1x Valentine Ninetales-Alolan Mount 1x Xmas Dragonite Mount 1x Winter Hat Blu 1x Winter Clothes Blu If you'd still like to send them to your friend, please feel free to try again. If you have any issues, or would like to close this thread, please reply to us to let us know.
  6. Hi there @Chitti678 Your reply was a few hours ago, a fix has been uploaded since - can you let me know if this is still an issue?
  7. Hi there @Chitti678 What's the name of the account your are taking this action on? Can you also talk me through the exact steps you took in order and in as much detail as possible?
  8. Hi there @Blueciferr You can do this, do it being aware that these types (gambling, giveaways, lotteries etc) of trades are not supported in PRO, therefore should things go wrong in relation to the trades, Staff will not get involved - assuming it doesn't crossover with an existing rule in another way. Any and all actions you and any participants take is at their own risk. I would also urge you to take some precautions: Host it on the forum in General Game Talk, since this is not an exchange in the way that threads in the Trade Zone are. Screenshot all related in-game conversations, and post these within the thread. Make sure all rules are clear and available: I am happy to go over your draft and identify any loopholes or shortfalls. Make sure that involved players know and understand that their involvement is at their own risk.
  9. Hi @Rajkkapadia and @Keabu I have forced the trade. Please can you both reply when you have been online to check that you have received your money/Pokemon correctly?
  10. Hi there @Cashcow Try again, I've lifted the ban on Blue.
  11. Hi @Hxchs There was some confusion about your end time: I have edited this to include "pm" as it does with your Pikachu. Also for those who are unclear on the timezone. as it could be misunderstood as PST or EST. The timezone used is EST, or GMT-5. I have edited this also.
  12. Hi @Cathater Please ensure that your bids are clear if you are serious about making them. Attachments and images may not appear for some users, and if deleted from your account, it means that TMODs will not be able to verify the bids you have made. Please respond using plain text. I would also additionally assume you are trolling and think this is quite funny, but not everyone will get your "jokes", in particular things like the 1 million bid, which means that your bids are not clear. It is also not clear whether you genuinely have intent to follow through on your offers, as you seem to be messing about. This is confusing on a lot of fronts and just plain damaging to the auctions of others. Please respect that you share this environment with other people and you must be clear about your intentions and bid.As per the Trade Rules, you must be clear, this also includes your offer when you are making it: Do not continue, if this behaviour continues, more severe consequences will follow. @Jqs I have verified Cathater's bids, they do indeed have the means to follow through on the bids made, so they are valid. Please continue your auction as normal.
  13. Hi @Exzxay Thankyou for providing this and logging off, I have refunded 250K to you. You may log back on now.
  14. Additionally, @Dkim0107 I have refunded 500K to your account for the two chromas. Thankyou for your patience.
  15. Hi @Viscabarcaa @Mvnschaalke @Backo0711 @Exzxay Please can each reply, providing evidence of the Charizard you used when buying your Chroma and which Chroma(s) you purchased.
  16. Hi @Pokidex Actually, you are right, sorry, I had note of your bid in the wrong place. I have updated my post accordingly.
  17. Hi @Hyerie There are multiple issues in this auction, for this a trade ban has been applied to your account. To run through with you what went wrong here so that you can improve in the future: Please ensure that your start and end points are always visible, you had edited this and replaced it with "x minutes left", but infact your auctions started at different times so immediately your advertisement of the end point was made inaccurate. In future do not delete this. Multiple bids you received had no evidence, or evidence was made well after the bid was made, meaning that your buyers did not have information visible to them to make informed decisions about their bids. This led to overlap in a couple cases. You deleted evidence of a bid (Buskeng), although this was a withdrawn offer, you must still make sure that evidence of ALL bids are available. Please can you reupload this if you still have the evidence. I will also deal with the false offer separately. Because of mismanagement of uploading bids and offers, you did not end your auction at the correct times, meaning that the wrong winners were announced, and in one case (the Charizard) we are not able to distinguish who the winner is. Please update evidence of Teemo3333's bid for 150K. Because you updated the main thread with the bids instead of posting them, again, this meant that bidders did not have the information they needed when placing their bids and this is what led to a lot of confusion. Please in future ensure that you post evidence of ingame bids in a new post, as opposed to updating the thread. This also makes it a lot easier for TMODs to figure out and offer support where needed. Please also make sure to do this as soon as possible after receiving the bid. Apologies @Akshay97 and @Teemo3333 - you were not the correct winners of the Dragonite and Pinsir auctions, I have reversed these trades and issued your money back to you, and left an ingame notification to let you know also. For clarity, I have detailed all bids below. All times are GMT+0 and use a 24HR clock format. The timezone featured in Hyerie's in-game screenshots are GMT+8. For all auctions, start price was 50K and ran for 24hr from first bid: For the Charizard auction, @Hyerie - please can you provide evidence of Teemo3333's bid for 150K? Without this, no winner can yet be announced: For the Dragonite auction, the correct winner is @Gozaimasu for 110K. I have reversed and forced this trade: For the Pinsir auction, there is no correct winner, and this auction has been voided and reversed as there is no possible fair outcome here. You may run this auction again. Please ensure that you read the Trade and Auction Rules carefully before trading again.
  18. Hi @Ramamrith My apologies - Steveouk has been banned, and due to the nature of his infraction, I must make his bid invalid and void. As Steveouk's bid was the only bid made, please feel free to begin your auction again in a new thread. I will lock this one so that there is no confusion moving forward. Again, apologies, I do understand this is an inconvenience. Best of luck selling this Pokemon in the future.
  19. Apologies, I hadn't written the price. I've updated it now.
  20. Hi @Renaciente Please make an effort to trade with these players yourself, they have all been tagged and should also make an effort to respond to you here. Since it's the holidays it might take a bit longer as most people are spending time with family, please allow 3 full days for players to get in touch before you request force trades. In the meantime, please can you respond with your timezones and the times you are likely to be available in the next 3 days, and your Discord tag if you use it, so people have a better chance of reaching you?
  21. Hi @Renaciente Your Start and End Point in your original post were not clear, please read the Trade and Auction Rules carefully before continuing, in particular: Since this was not clear, we will need to assume that the start point was as of the thread being posted. In this case, this means that the start point was Friday 02:17AM GMT+0, ending Saturday 02:17AM GMT+0 unless otherwise specified below. The winners are: Timburr 1 (20ATK): @Pokidex for 130K. Timburr 2 (31ATK): @Rabina for 1.5M, ending at 03:21AM GMT+0. Timburr 3 (26ATK 20SPD): @Hasseeb373 for 450K. Timburr 4 (26ATK 23SPD): Ended with no bids. Timburr 5 (30ATK): @Pokidex for 230K. Timburr 6 (26ATK): @Wynth for 650K, ending at 02:18AM GMT+0. My apologies @Merepapa - I have reversed the trade and given you back your money. @Renaciente Please make an effort to trade with the correct winners at your earliest convenience.
  22. Hi there @Erfa133122 Please can you let your potential buyers know in English how much you'd like to sell your Pokemon for? You can also choose to accept offers, however if you do this, please make sure you have read the Trade and Auction Rules carefully to ensure there are no issues.
  23. Hi @Evieee No exceptions are made to this rule I'm afraid. Please complete the trade with Kalafina.
  24. Hi @Gio and @Nadzhawkeye I have forced this auction for you. Please can you both reply to let me know you have received your Pokemon/money correctly?
  25. Hi @Flamme1230 Thanks for suggesting this, and for putting so much time and effort into your post to explain. There are actually very good reasons as to why we don't do this, and are why ultimately your suggestion will be denied, but I will go ahead and explain for you. Auctions can (but not always, I am aware) move at a fast pace. Bidders, at the time of making their bids need to be able to make educated and informed decisions. If someone is looking to make a bid within that 5 minute timeframe you have proposed - if that bid is edited, there is no way for them to be notified of this outside of refreshing the page, meaning that if/when they do place their bid, they will have bid higher than they might have otherwise, and are likely to edit their own bid to reflect that - and so goes on the chain of potential confusion that can be caused. In addition to this, you also need to consider a buyer's means to bid - perhaps at the time of viewing the auction, they wouldn't have had enough to outbid the previous amount, and perhaps if an edit was made, they would have, but because they didn't have this information at the time, likely would have clicked away from the page and therefore lost out due to misinformation. There are also additional issues, when it comes to start and end points. If an auction start bid is 500K, and I, as a player, have made a mistake and typo'd 600K, and realised 4 minutes later and edited this bid to 500K (which by your suggestion would be permitted). Now there is going to be confusion about what time the auction started - the initial bid and the edited bid are 4 minutes apart, but the initial bid is what is most visible to players, not the edit, yet because the edit was made, that 600K bid is not valid. Ergo our start time is completely out of whack. This then has a knock-on effect on end points, both in relation to the time the auction ends, and if the 15-minute extensions should come into play or not. And then again, we might have the same issue at the back end of the auction with bids edited at the end or within the 15 minute extensions. I'm sure I don't need to go into detail there on how even a minute can totally derail the end of an auction and impact who the winner is. And again, this idea is forum based. We don't have seconds on the forum. Do you have 5 full minutes, or 5 clock-minutes? If you post a bid at 12:05, do you have until the clock ticks over 12:10, or 12:11? Maybe you have noticed that you posted your bid just before the clock ticked 12:06? Or you were typing your edit but hit enter a millisecond too late? This is a point I can foresee being wildly argued and debated, and just a black hole of issues ahead on this point alone. This, and just the simple fact, that it's not unreasonable to ask players to show care and sensibility at the time of placing their bid. Ultimately it is better to have a proactive approach, to inform yourself PRIOR to making your bid, than to rush to place the bid knowing that you have a 5 minute window to correct yourself (assuming you're not outbid before that window ends). This is also your duty and responsibility as a bidder, who has agreed to our Terms & Conditions which include all of our Rules, to ensure that you are placing a valid bid when you place it. There is an argument for human error, but that is where TMODs come in. Ultimately, the problems your suggestion causes outweigh the benefits. There is no world in which trading in a MMO will 100% eradicate human error, so we must go for the options that minimise problems the most. It's not that your suggestion is a bad suggestion per se, it's just that when you weigh pros and cons - asking people to simply pay more attention at the time of making their bid has a lot less potential associated issues. I hope that you understand. I will lock your suggestion as denied. Please stay safe, take care, and happy holidays. ^^
