Governments have fallen to the power of social media. Gaming companies can too.
Thank the gods. My experience as villains has been terrible because of the market. This is a great change.

GLORIOUS.
What I'm curious about is if the last-five bidding history on items will be wiped at the same time all items revert to Storage state, to truly set the record to zero and give us a fresh start. Otherwise, how would the bid histories merge together from red and blue? If only the highest prices are shown, the insane-o blueside prices will take priority 90% of the time.

What restrictions apply? I'm guessing character-bound stuff like the Gamestop preorders, and maybe whatever's involved in the Incarnate system?

So, now I've got to go explore the Rogue Isles to find places to expand Wentworth's. As a player I'm in favor, of course. As a hero I will RP to the end and insist that my consignment houses do NOT conduct transactions with any Black Markets. Inconceivable!

I'd expect that to be the case here. It sounds like everything is being set to square one. No history, no bids, no listings. Everything is in a storage state until picked up and reset.

Playing mostly redside, and comparing how things work red vs. Blue, this is an improvement. T'was bad when you heard "I won't play villain side...just because of the market." Pooling the resources= better supply.
One thing I can say about the dev team is that they do give the players what they want. It may take some time but they do give the players what they want.

I seriously can't even put into words how happy I am about this news!! A million thank yous to the devs for finally making this change!
YES! They've continued to use the phrase "GleeMail"!
Also some other stuff that's awesome. I almost never go Blue side, so I've had no perspective. I'm looking forward to seeing how this affect villains.
Very nice changes. Thank you.
Hey everyone,
I know you’ve been asking for some new Going Rogue information, and I’ve got some exciting news that I’d like to share with all of you.
Here at Paragon Studios, we’ve been hard at work preparing our newest expansion, Going Rogue, for prime time. One of our major features, the alignment system that allows our players to switch sides, has presented the perfect opportunity for us to improve Hero and Villain auction and trading dynamics. In order to make the alignment switching system the most fun and rewarding experience possible, we’ve made a few key improvements based on beta tester and internal studio feedback.
Here’s a brief list of these upgrades:
- Heroes and Villains can now trade and gift each other in Co-Op zones (except in PvP zones)
- Players can Global Email (GleeMail) INF and most items to their characters regardless of alignment (some restrictions apply)
- The Auction House markets for Heroes and Villains will become ONE
Wait. What?Yes. You heard me, we’re merging the markets. After looking at how the system has performed in beta, we thought long and hard about the Markets themselves. This important improvement seemed to make everything more accessible and streamlined, allowing every character to participate. Keeping the markets divided would require significant on-going development support, and we needed to take this into consideration. But, most importantly we wanted to produce the most fun system possible, and this decision reflects that.
These changes are very exciting and will simplify not only the way we create content, but provide freedom for you to play your characters the way you choose.

P.S. An informative FAQ is available for questions you may have regarding these major change.
(Note from Avatea: War Witch has also posted an in-game explanation of the Market merge in this thread. It is available here.)
