Hello everyone! 

 

The Real Estate Auction will be postponed to August. I apologize for the delay, but I've had some major upheavals in RL that'll take some time to sort out.

[Faverty Events]

Faverty Events in association with the RIOT DEN will be hosting the 3rd annual

REAL ESTATE AUCTION

 

Date: Monday, August 4, 2025

Time: 8pm-11pm EDT

EVERLASTING SERVER

 

Base codes will be released August 1, 2025.

 

There will be 10 auction bases, 10 raffle bases, 1 Dream Home Raffle and 1 base giveaway available!

 

Multiple base builders and base owners have signed up to have their bases be a part of the Real Estate Auction. There will be many different styles and themes to choose from! See below on how to sell your base at the auction - registration is still open.

 

Let's get a bunch of players into their new forever homes on the Everlasting server!

 

If you are interested in previewing the available bases, join the Faverty Events discord server and get the updates, extra pictures and details before anyone else!      https://discord.gg/wnaHm5nNRB

 

As usual there will be several types of auctions (traditional auction, raffle & giveaway) along with:

• A DREAM HOME RAFFLE (6 tickets available - 80% proceeds go directly to the base builder/20% to fund other Faverty Events projects.)
• Do-It-Yourself (Bases with floors, walls, doors, windows, ceilings, door teleports - empty spaces, blank canvases waiting for a builder to fill with furniture and decor to make the space their very own.)

 

Registration for Bases

If you are interested in having a base sold at the auction, please contact me on Discord at: domi.sidney_faverty.events or in-game at: @faverty Industries before July 31, 2025.

 

Please join the Faverty Events discord to get more information about selling your base at the Real Estate Auction.

 

Auction, Raffle, Base Giveaway Fine Print:

 

• Guests at the auction are expected to follow the RIOT DEN guidelines at all times. Please see the RIOT DEN discord for further information: https://discord.gg/4w9vXYG4Es
• Guests are expected to bid in good faith. Please refrain from up-bidding if you have no intention of purchasing the base.
• Guests who win bids are expected to pay the full amount of the winning bid onsite. (Keeping your funds in emails is a good way to ensure you have enough to cover your winning bid.)
• Guests who bid and do not have enough to cover the cost of the base, will forfeit their win. Any transferred funds will be sent back to the player and the base will be re-auctioned. (A player that needs to transfer funds, may communicate with the deed holder (Sidney-Lynne Faverty) and arrange for extra time, not exceeding 30minutes of real life time.)
• Winning bidders can expect to have the base transferred to the SG-less character of their choice on site after the total payment has been made.
• Players may purchase 1 base in the auction. Players who win an additional base in the raffle, or giveaway, may choose the base they want to keep. Funds will not be reimbursed from raffles or other paid events. The base that was not chosen, will become available for purchase in the method it was purchased - ex: if it was won as a raffle, it will return to the raffle pool.
• It is expected that players purchase/win one base in good faith without entering secondary accounts.
• Players who have privately purchased bases from Faverty Events in the past are eligible to purchase/win a base in the traditional auctions, raffle and base giveaway and are subject to the same restrictions and guidelines as all other attendees.
• A portion of the proceeds of the auction, raffle and dream home raffle will go to subsidizing base builders and owners who sold bases in the auction below the reserve amount (the reserve amount will not be disclosed) as well as paying any RIOT DEN staff members who volunteer their time during the auction.
• Influence transactions will be done through trades at the auction; not through in-game emails.
• Details of the auction are subject to change without notice. It is your responsibility to read the announcements and follow the guidelines.

 

Raffle:

 

• Raffle tickets cost 50mil each/5 tickets max per player.
• An early bird ticket will be issued for pre-purchased tickets before August 3.
• Send your requested number of tickets with influence payment in-game to @faverty Industries - I will return your email with your raffle numbers and bonus early bird number if you request tickets and pay before the deadline.
• There will be a limit of 120 tickets issued.
• Raffle tickets are sold on a first come, first served basis. No tickets will be reserved or held.
• Players may purchase raffle tickets on the day of the event from 8-9pm EST from the raffle ticket taker - if there are any available left for purchase.
• Players may only win 1 base in the raffle. (Players may only win/purchase one base - see Auction details for more information.)
• Raffle tickets are issued to the in-game global account you purchased the tickets with. If you win a raffle base and come on a different account or you gave some tickets to someone else, you/they will need to identify which in-game global name the number is attached to. This is a security measure to ensure only ticket holders are eligible to win raffle bases.
• If a player wins an additional base in the raffle, their second win will automatically be rejected and the dice will continue to roll until a number without a prior raffle win/base purchase is rolled.
• The most recent winner decides which base they would like to own.
• The winner of a raffle roll does not need to be present, however you will be issued a base at the end of the auction from the bases that remain without having a choice.
• Raffle winners who are absent from the auction and do not respond to the in-game communication (email and global tell) within 3 days of the auction will forfeit their win and the base will be listed in the next auction or base giveaway.

 

Dream Home Raffle (BRAMBLE-37518):

TICKETS FOR THIS RAFFLE ARE OFFICIALLY CLOSED.

 

• Dream Home Raffle tickets cost 2 billion influence each - 6 tickets available - 1 ticket per purchaser.
• The base builder receives 80% of the ticket sales. The remainder goes to fund future Faverty Events projects.
• Send your request and influence payment in-game to @faverty Industries - I will return your email with your raffle number. Two emails of 999,999,999 influence are acceptable.
• Players can register for all other raffles and base giveaways as well. 
• All general raffle and auction guidelines apply to the Dream Home Raffle.

 

Base Give Away:

 

• All players who are in attendance for the real estate auction are eligible to win the base give away. (See below for exceptions.)
• Players will need to register at the auction to be counted in the give away (Name of the player taking base giveaway registrations will be announced during the event).
• The winner of the base giveaway must be present at the auction and respond to tells and broadcasts of their win. Failure to respond within 15 minutes, despite being present in the base, will default the win and another winner will be chosen.
• Each player will be assigned a number upon registration. A dice roll will determine which number wins the base giveaway.
• Players are expected to act in good faith by registering only one account to the base giveaway.
• Known alternate accounts will be rejected as well as the original player account.
• EXCEPTION: Players who have purchased/or won a base in the auction already, will not be eligible to win the base giveaway.
• EXCEPTION: If a player is chosen for the base giveaway and they do not want it, they may pass and another winner will be chosen.

BUYER GUIDELINES:

• Feel free to tour the bases for auction, in the raffles, and the base giveaway at your leisure.
• Feel free to message me @faverty Industries in game or on discord domi.sidney_faverty.events with any questions you have.
• Be sure to have your funds ready for payment. Keep your influence in emails that you can access quickly instead of on multiple toons.
• Make sure you have an SG-less character ready that you can alt to (if needed) or bring a character without an SG attached to the auction should you win a base.
• Completed base pictures are available on the Faverty Events discord: https://discord.gg/wnaHm5nNRB
• Base shift and drift is an unpleasant reality of the nature of the City of Heroes game. Efforts will be taken to ensure that base drift is corrected before the sale of a base, but some bases are more prone to drift than others and a correction may stray once again after being fixed. If you notice base drift in your PURCHASED or WON base, please contact me and I will repair it once. If it shifts again, it is most likely an irreparable base shift error. If an older base is sold and you notice base drift, please contact the event organizer. The struck through guidelines above will be followed.

BASE BUILDERS and CONTRIBUTORS:

Faverty Events would like to acknowledge all the base builders, base owners and contributors for helping make this event a reality. Building 20+ bases in a few months is a major feat and we are honoured to be hosting this event, along with the RIOT DEN. We have enjoyed working with new base builders and base builders developing specialty skills. Base builder and contributor recognition will be made at the release of the basecode list unless a builder has requested anonymity.

Globals of the builders will not be announced at the auction unless we have permission to do so.

Faverty Events would also like to thank The RIOT DEN for the use of their nightclub base.

If anyone has any questions, concerns, need clarification, or to be put in contact with a builder, feel free to private message in-game: @faverty industries or on Discord: @domi.sidney_faverty.events

 

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the auction on Monday, August 4, 2025 at 8-11pm EDT.

The remaining funds from the raffle sales and all sales from the Faverty Industries built bases will go towards funding the next big Faverty Events base giveaway.

That's right, The Home for the Holidays base giveaway will be back this year in December. If you remember it from last year, you wrote Santa and told him why you should receive a base to be home for the holidays or you nominated a friend and explained why they should receive a base. With a cute little holiday market - which will also be back - Santa made his appearance and gave bases away to the players of CoH on the Everlasting server. See last year's notices to get more information: 

Calls for Santa's little base builder helpers will be issued in just a short few weeks! Keep an eye out for announcements for details of the event. If you're already in the Faverty Events discord server, you'll get the announcement a few days before everyone else! Join the discord and be in the know! https://discord.gg/wnaHm5nNRB

 

Some interesting facts:

• There were significantly more newcomers to the auction, both as builders and guests/bidders.
• The top selling price of 15 billion was met, but not surpassed.
• There were two new auction events - a dream home raffle and DIY bases. The DIY bases included only structure (windows, doors, walls, ceiling, floors, porters, etc - ready for a masterful craftsman/woman to put their creative touches on a base to truly make it their own.
• The Dream Home Raffle sold out in 2 days. 
• 94% of the standard raffle tickets were sold.

 

What's in store for the future?

 

Faverty Events was thrilled to be partnered with the Riot Den for this event. For the next Real Estate Auction, Faverty Events will be collaborating with Black Friday in 2026.

 

If you are interested in building base(s) for future auctions, join the Faverty Events discord and get tips and ideas for selling. Both buyers and builders will help you to build a base to fetch the best possible price.

 

In Conclusion...

One last hearty thank you to everyone who contributed and supported this event. It was a joy and honor to organize the event and help meet the housing need of City of Heroes roleplaying community.

 

See everyone next year for the 2026 Real Estate Base Auction!
