Because it needed the mail system to work. No mail system, no auction house.

Was it taken away before the mail system fiasco or after?

I feel like it wasn't even used, or it was there rather but not fully enabled for use or something. At least from the times I did play back then. The NPC to access said auction area was kinda in a random spot in Prontera as well away from many eyes.

 

Unless that WASN'T the auction house and just looked like it...

Didn't the auction house also have prohibitively expensive fees for using it that made the whole thing pointless? Or am I remembering something else.

The auction house was accessible only through a NPC that was placed in very unnoticeable spots and the atrocious restrictions with the auction fees and what's allowed to be auctioned were what led to it being wholly unused. Hopefully kRO has looked into what makes auction houses in other MMORPGs more successful and learned from that before reimplementing RO's.

wasn't it like 35m to post an auction for like 5 days or something?  To be honest i've never actually used it aside from looking at it like twice and going NOPE.

Yea it was expensive why do t they make the price relevently close to kafra shop price. And take 10% of sales if something g is sold, Like ro2 version? Either way if the auction is gone because of bad mail system and over the top expensive prices to use why not fix these two issues and bring it back? What you all think?

RO2's auction house works basically the same as all other MMORPGs' auction houses. It takes a percentage of the posting price and takes more the longer you post it in the auction house.

The mail system could be exploited, so it was removed and apparently that has tie ins with the AH.

Exploits were with the mail system; barely anyone used the auction house to exploit it.

Think we got the update around 2008? Then when kRO took out the mail system in 2013, the auction house went with it.

wtf, 850k minimum.......hmm, i think its a good system(and also, mail system is kind of...useless if you ask me) 

 

 

but.....AH must be lower, like 200k , because 850k is hardly to produce especially if you don't have any classes that can farm lots and lots of money
