Since I can program plugins (with limited functionality, but still) now, I want to expand the virtualshop system to more functions. What will be next?

• first of all allow enchanted items to be traded. I am waiting here for another bugfix of the websend plugin. If all goes well, this should work within 24 hours.
• next, a deposit system to “mail” goods. You will be able to deposit things for a specific user and pay a transaction fee (to be determined). Either the sender or the receiver can pay this fee. There can be also notifications once a user logs in that a package is waiting for him. This will be also useful to hand out rewards for contests.
• next a buy request system. This will basically allow you to place a purchase request. You determine an amount of goods that you are looking for and a price you are willing to pay for it, and others can fill the request in part or full. You will have to pay the money already when placing the request and the fulfilling user will receive it instantly upon depositing the goods. You can then withdraw the goods any time.

I do not know until when I will be able to finish these things but since the basic framework already exists in the shop it should not be too difficult. Additional ideas are welcome.

Virtualshop selling works now. However, NOT for enchanted items! They will loose their enchantments! I am waiting for an update of the websend plugin to enable this. For instructions, use

/ws help sell

You can use everything else however, including damaged items and colored wool. they will be listed accordingly in the shop with a % damage or the color etc.

I am actively working on the replacement for virtualshop. You can take a look with

/ws

and see what functions I am working on. You can test it, but please do not put your diamonds in there since there might be still bugs.

The old “virtualshop” plugin is now finally broken and abandoned. I will delete the plugin today. What does this mean for your shop contents? You can still get them at a later time since I wrote a function that allows this. However, selling and buying will not be able until I finished programming a new shop. I recommend that you get your stuff out of the shop but if you cannot, I will transfer leftovers to the new shop once it is ready for stuff to be bought.

If you cancel your old items out of the shop, empty your inventory and then please use the following command while in the empire world:

/ws list

This will show you a list of the items you have in the shop. Note down the ID of the item. Then use

/ws cancel <itemid> <amount>

Replace in the above the previously noted item text and insert the amount you want to have back. You will then receive the items and the transaction records are updated. If you do not enter the amount, the maximum possible amount will be given to you.
ATTENTION: This function has a security built in to give you no more than 2000 items at a time. HOWEVER if you cancel an amount of items that does not fit in your inventory, the excess amount will be LOST. So be careful not to take too much.
