Auction Glitches Fixed

We thought that we'd make a quick announcement about Auctions, since there has been a few mission-critical glitches.

Fixed: The Highest Bidder Not Winning

In the rare case that final auction bids were placed within milliseconds of each other, sometimes the system spaced out and didn't know who was the correct winner since it was so close. This has now been fixed. The highest Egg Coins point value will always win the auction. This was actually fixed yesterday.

If it occurred to you where you lost an auction that you were the highest bidder on, we are afraid that we cannot reverse the results of these already-processed auctions. We're very sorry for any inconvenience caused. It won't happen again!

Fixed: Out of Order Bid Amounts

It was possible that the system displayed auction bid amounts out-of-order. It may have placed lower bids above higher bids. This has been fixed. It will always show the correct bid order by point value.

Fixed: Not Receiving Escrows Back In Close-Call Bidding Wars

Similar to the first glitch, when final bids were placed within milliseconds of each other, the system occasionally bugged out and didn't know how to properly return EC escrows. This has been permanently fixed for all future auctions that are going to close. Only very close-call bidding wars were affected (bids placed less than 500 milliseconds apart).

Please Submit a Ticket if you did not receive an auction bid escrow back in a very close auction. We have physical logs of your bids, even after auctions process, and can verify your bid amounts if you lost something. Thank you!

More bug fixes coming! Thanks for sticking with us.
