Less bazaar tax ftw.

[Jeryhn]

Al Zahbi homepoint nerfed again!

Also, it didn't mention lower AH taxes on the Auction House in Whitegate. /tear

[Koga]

lol@ trying to revive jeuno.

[Russta]

So Al Zhabi Auction House is now slightly more expensive to list stuff in than Jeuno's even though the reason for it was as an incentive to defend it? They don't note if the price for listing stuff in Whitegate has changed (what was the old listing fee before this changed anyway? forgot lol) either which would now make it the most expensive AH?

lol@ trying to revive jeuno.

Amen.

Way to make your expansion pack too good.

[Aurin]

I only go to Jeuno for Limbus now and even then when I hear that damn music I get a sick feeling in my stomach.

The thing about Beastmen going directly for the prize now is going to fucking suck. It's going to be impossible to win.

It really could be... I mean, as it is there are so many of those massively high level mobs walking around killing random people (but not going after the big target, wtf ever that is idk), if they are ALL focused on one thing, I don't see how we would be able to stop them...

I was thinking that too.

Another point I don't think any of us have considered is the impact this could have on merit parties if the Beastmen manage to get it. Outside of losing the kick ass Sanction bonuses that don't need anymore praise, it's said that they will become stronger from having it. Mamool could become a lot tougher in Thickets and ruin what we're now used to.

[layoneil]

but not going after the big target, wtf ever that is idk

once all 5 generals die the seal opens. if they zerg the generals and you can't pull stuff off them, a Lv 5 Undead Swarm will probably beat the players everytime.

[zafron]

wish they would enable players to port to their home country from expansion area.

[Gilanth]

wish they would enable players to port to their home country from expansion area.

That and enable us to access our lockers , Its just silly you have to go to AU everytime you want to use it.

[Not Kuno]

I think the besieged update is only when all 5 generals are dead. They didnt say anything about the mobs going directly after the generals, although they do walk in that general direction when not agroed.

It was in the Dec 9, 2004 update.

The transaction fee for items put up on auction is now based on the seller's asking price. The formulas for calculating the transaction fee are listed below.

Jeuno auction houses:
Single item fee = 2% of the seller's asking price +100 gil.
Stacked item fee = 1% of the seller's asking price +400 gil.

Other auction houses:
Single item fee = 1% of the seller's asking price +1 gil.
Stacked item fee = 0.5% of the seller's asking price +4 gil.

In accordance with these adjustments, new messages will be displayed when putting items up on auction. Be sure to confirm these messages before completing a transaction.

Anyone wanna check the JPol update msg, and see if it wasnt a typo or something, perhaps they meant Whitegate instead of Al Zhabi ??

Nope. Only whitegate has the old Jeuno AH fees now.

The change really only affects putting cheap stuff up anyways, and they didn't change the %.

Well, it means I don't have to AH all my expensive stuff on my main in Al Zahbi. The tax for my mule in Jeuno is now very close.

Can Beseiged mobs be slept? Maybe the only way to win now is going to be to have a horde of BLMs sleeping the shit out of everything, and have the entire zone gang up on 1 mob at a time.
