Pager Auctions - 4Lights - 09-27-2023
Every month as a way to encourage in-game pager use, have a 'black market dealer' ( staff ) do an auction, biddings on an assortment of items and rare items, possibly class 4's. Open up with a mass message, to all character about it, using the pager exclusively to bid and respond to bids. ( While I know the Atticus auction may have been a drain on staff, I feel a plugin of sorts for the bidding could take a lot of strain away. )
This would get a lot of people situated with the initial use of the pagers, which I think has been an issue, especially if you have lower tiered items that less wealthy people can bid on, safe delivery, etc. It'd encourage people to sign up for the notification discord bot, and I believe encourage people to start using pager in general more, and open themselves to new possibilities with their own use of pagers.
But importantly it'd also take money away from the economy, leading to a more balanced game economy and a nice way to acquire new drip and hardware.
