Notification when item is sold at auction

[Killingsworth]

Would it be possible to implement some kind of notification when an item sells in the auction?

My idea:

>> When listing an item: the option to "notify when sold" would be available as a checkbox

>> When the item sells: an alert dialogue would pop up; "Item _______ has sold at auction"

I'm suggesting this because I find myself frequently running back to an auctioneer to check my sales. Usually - in my experience - the item remains in auction unsold. There are times when I have a lot of money tied up in auction - it would just be nice to have a notification when the big ticket items sell.

Thoughts anyone?

Notifications in game are really useful for your klaas collection and promoting new content. It should be taken to the next level where the notifs can also tell you if your item from auction sells, this would be very beneficial for players!

Credits: Whirlzap, I read this on PL forums but it NEEDS an implement on AL.

LMAO....

Been thinking about this, and it could be awesome. Could have issues, but I realized the issues I was thinking about are so specific and would be in no way affect game play or take away from having this as an option. +1337

Mentioned before, but still agree even though I never list anything.

I hadn't taken the time to search for the suggestion. My apologies for re-post. Just popped into my head today - wanted to write it down before I forgot!

Oh, don't worry. I didn't mean it in a way as in you shouldn't have created it. Everybody creates a new thread once old one falls into the second or third page.

Still think the idea should be implemented.

Could anyone comment on potential effects the addition of the proposed 'item sold notification' would have on the server?

I think what Alfai is concerned about is the notification increasing the amount of data traffic for the server to relay. To put it simply: it could potentially hinder the performance of the server thus creating lag. Honestly I don't see this as being much of an issue, since hypothetically the servers are capable of withstanding everyone who's online to have every notification turned on. I'm sure STS has invested in well-performing servers.
