So Kyoubai has been quite the success! Since it launched just over two weeks ago, we’ve hosted over 40,000 auctions with 150,000 bids. At any given time, there seems to be over 1,000 auctions to peruse for stuff like rare .moar files.

Thanks to all our users who offered input and helped us tweak the system so that it’s easier to use and less prone to exploits.

Up Next: ItemBuildr

Last night during our weekly brainstorming meeting, we discussed our next project: ItemBuildr.

ItemBuildr is to items as ForumBuildr is to forums. Every week there will be a competition where items are created by our users for the community.

The beauty of ItemBuildr is that it will mean a steady trickle of new equipment, junk and collectible items into the game economy. And unlike other popular MMOs, each item in our game will have a hilarious blurb of text inside it.

ItemBuildr is kind of the yang to Kyoubai’s ying, in that it guarantees that there’s always fresh new items to be traded back and forth.
