Free Market is Closing soon - What now?
http://maplestory.nexon.net/news/28016/free-market-closing-soon
Well on the bright side, no more keeping my computer in-game 24/7 because I'm in my store permit little store trying to sell items, which also means no more worrying for disconnections and crashes while I'm afk and losing my selling hours.
On the bad side of things, this means that we will be limited just to Auction House 10 slots and the direct player to player sales which is less convenient in comparison to what we have now with 16-24 spot store permits and all those Auto Sellers that more rich people can afford regularly.
Another matter that comes in mind is what would happen with all those people who try to sell items for more than max mesos right now in FM?
How would they advertise their items in-game effectively and will it actually bring down prices to buyables in Auction House?
With that said, the meso cap is expected to increase to 30b per character which is both good and bad, but still a drop in the ocean for a lot of godly stuff out there and permanent items.
Another two matters I almost forgot to mention is the issues of finding it harder to detect dupes in the Auction House compared to the FM now, as well as the issue of lossing an important social function and activity the FM represents for many players.

Really glad to see we're getting this update soon. Only thing I really want to see is making the AH multi-server, so items put up can be bought from any world. That'd help the more dead servers so much.
I believe so. And I just checked, it puts you at 30 slots not 25. :x Not 100% sure if you lose your bronze tier, you lose the extra slots too.
I've just been informed today by two separate sources that only MVP Special Ranks like Silver, Gold, and Diamond receive extra Auction House sale slots, so I'm not sure whether Bronze MVP tiers do get extra sale slots like you said here?
You cannot lose Bronze MVP status.
With the auction house you can only list 10 items unless you're mvp silver or higher. Ten free is nice and all but if you wanted to sell 20 items at a time in the fm it only cost you 20k nx per month not 100k per month on average to maintain silver.
You can buy and sell items through the auction house. Open the menu button with three horizontal lines on it and select "Auction house".
Items remain on sale for 24 hours. When an item is bought or expires, you can claim the mesos, reclaim the item, or relist the item at the same price by selecting the "Complete" tab. You can also retrieve items you've purchased in the "Complete" tab.
There is an NPC that explains auction house located in the FM entrance map, to the right of the Crystal Collector.
The auction house is not an actual auction. You directly purchase the items for the given price when you buy; no bidding.
They still have some monopolization but it isn't like the FM used to be.
what stops them from using the auction house exactly?
