I love you guys

This looks alright I guess. It's all the same to me. I like how you kept the GE look though, since pretty much everyone is familiar with how it works, the changes to how it operates would provide minimum disturbances. Looking forward to seeing more.

I don't like the concept of being able to buy or sell something while offline.. seems too much like the G.E. and I think it will ruin the social aspect of the game, much as the G.E. did back in the original 2007 (my opinion I suppose). HOWEVER, this idea would be perfect if you got rid of that aspect, and made it so the Auction House was more like how ***** OSR Exchange works right now. It keeps the social Market system intact while providing players a realistic chance to buy or sell strange/uncommon items, instead of just spamming at W301 for days. We should still have to actually meet up and trade with the person, and the Auction House should store or hold the items being sold until the actual trade happens, to discourage people from putting up offers they don't intend on actually following up on, and so it is clear when an offer is expired*

**;dr Please don't bring back the G.E., and please keep OSR social with this potential update

Oldschool can mean many things.

To me, it will always be Oldschool unless they add the EoC and micro-transactions.

Anything and everything else? Go for it. :L

I like that the buyer will actually be able to "negotiate with the trader" instead of engaging in blind trade as done in GE (Mod Mat K 1). It also leaves the door open for PTP bartering, which was completely ruined in GE operations. Additionally, I really like that "there would be no recommended sale price for an item...[and the seller] would need to look at what other players are selling it for" (Mod Mat K 1). The biggest flaw in the GE fell in placing limits and prices on items, and there was no real laissez-faire market. All in all, the GE demolished PTP trading because it limited trading only to the institution itself, set prices on items, and disallowed player interaction. On the other hand, this new trading system would expand trading and allow players more flexibility and options without systematic limitation. Thus, the system relies on players rather than players relying on GE prices.

If you have a GE there's no reason to not put micro-transactions. Not being pessimistic just IRL I can make a profit off working, same thing in old-school. In RS3 work has no value so better off just buying stuff with real money. Please don't make this happen in old-school, I thought I had my favorite game back. If what makes it old-school to you is the combat style then just be patient...in a couple months RS3 will be old-school to you because it will have the old combat style again, and then you can leave us with our version of old-school. Just please don't ruin our version in the meantime. Pleaase.

The slippery slope argument doesn't work here. We'd only get micro-transactions if 75% of the community wanted it.

I don't play OSRS but I do like the idea of an Auction House - something the main game really needs to update on...

My thoughts on making it impossible to manipulate ~

When selling an item, you must pay 1% of whatever you are posting it for upfront, before you can post it on the AH, every 12 hours would increase the price by another 1% up to a maximum of 2 days and 4%. You would also not get this fee back if the auction does not sell.
EX - I want to sell my guthan's spear for 1m for a day, which means I need to pay 20k gp to post it.

Second thing, if you successfully sell an item, you get your placement price back, but a 10% fee is deducted from the total sale if it is >= 10gp
EX Well, I sold my Guthan's Spear for 1m, now I get my 20k back, but I have lost 100k from the instant tax for using the AH.
^ doing this will eliminate merchanters from flipping items a few gp to make some profit.

Third to make it so that if you want to cancel your "auction" before the time expires, that 1% pre-payment is NOT refunded, and the item(s) go to your collection box.

For the buy side, have a area where you type the item, it does a real time search once you press enter, and by default shows the items from cheapest to highest.
EX I type tun in search, and 4 offers come up for Tuna, and Tuna Potato, Tuna Potato are at the bottom because they are more expensive.

When you buy something from the AH it is instantly transported either to your bank or the collection box / mailbox somewhere near by, which can then click a button to deposit into your bank...

Just my suggestion so you don't have the same problem we have in RS3 where people are flipping EVERYTHING that can possible be flipped.

I could even do a sudo-code for the AH if you would like... you would have to implement the database for the AH though cause I don't know how to do that
