Something else that bothers me about this 'Auction' house, there is no auction.
Shouldn't an auction sell to the highest bid? and shouldn't it have a specific length of time that the auction is being held for? Say, 24 hours for a short auction, 48 hours for a long one.
Player 1 lists an auction for item X, it has a street value of 1m. he puts in a starting bid of 900k so that it gets some action.
Player 2 sees this auction and bids 900k hoping to get it cheap.
Player 3 sees that the bid is currently 900k and bids 910k, out bidding player 2.
Player 4 bids 925k out bidding player 3.
Player 2 doesn't like getting out bid and ups the bid to 940k.
Player 3 doesn't want to bid any higher and finds another auction for the same item and bids on it instead.
Player 5 waits until the time limit is just about ready to run out and bids 941k at the last second and wins that auction.
Just sayin', an auction house without an auction is just a GE.
Second issue, buy offers and sell offers on the same feature, if it's an auction house why can you list want to buy adds?
Shouldn't it be sell offers only?
Sellers could list things and have them go to auction whilst off line but they pay a time penalty, they have to wait for it to close.
Buyers will need to be online to bid but they too will have to pay a time penalty and wait for the auction to close and if they are offline they can be out bid.
Meanwhile players that want it right now will look to the market place forums here on the official site or on a third party or will use standard methods of trading.

Can you plz not place this where the ge was on the main game..my reasons because well.....this isnt the ge lol.. plus these are 2 different games so i would like it to be unique and be placed in a different location on the map

Also some feedback i think you should design the auction house to look like something that might be or might look like what an auction house design would look like in the medievil times.
Also the last part or msg you asked us at the end of the dev blog about how long someone would have their offer up posted on the auction house after they go offline.. I think that should be 6hrs until it is pernamentally removed then they have to repost it up.. To me the 6hr mark makes sense as its almost like the 6hr logout time that kicks you off runescape if you've been online more then 6hrs so it only makes sense to me, but rather then being 6hrs to kick you offline when online the 6hrs is to dlt your trading post when offline
