Clones Auction#
The Clone Auction is a system for redistributing characters whose owners have stopped participating in the game world. The state ensures that unused resources don’t go to waste and instead benefit active players, so clones from inactive or deleted accounts are put up for auction. This mechanism ensures economic efficiency and provides the opportunity to acquire characters with ready-made skills, statuses, and assets.
Who is up for auction?#
- Clones whose owners haven’t logged into their account for more than 1 year and haven’t filled in their personal information.
- Clones from accounts that were deleted due to inactivity.
- Clones of all professions and statuses—from worker to warrior—whom players have given up as dependents.
Condition of clones for sale#
- Clones are well-fed and do not have negative stamina.
- The clones are fully repaired.
- All their structures are in good condition.
- The next attempt to repair structures is carried out according to the standard rules of the game.
Rules for participation in the auction#
- Clones with the artisan status and above can place bets.
- The starting price depends on the status of the clone being sold.
- All characteristics and parameters of the character are fixed at the time of placement.
Nominal price of clones#
| Status | Price, gold |
|---|---|
| Craftsman | 10 |
| Peasant | 20 |
| Bourgeois | 80 |
| Merchant | 300 |
| Nobleman | 800 |
| Chancellor | 3000 |
| Viscount | 20,000 |
Trading mechanics#
- The clone is put up for auction for 24 hours.
- If no bids are placed during the auction, the lot is relisted.
- If a bid is placed in the last 5 minutes, the bidding is automatically extended for 5 minutes.
- The clone’s characteristics do not change during trading.
Transfer of the clone to the buyer#
After the auction is completed, the clone is handed over to the buyer within 5-10 minutes along with all:
- Characteristics and skills.
- Real estate.
- Productions.
- By courts.
- Positions.
- Any other objects of ownership.
This makes the purchase not just a purchase of a character, but a receipt of a full set of its assets.
State revenues#
Gold obtained from selling clones at auctions becomes state revenue. These funds are then used to replenish various game funds.
