Generator Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Hey folks, I've heard some uncertainty around this point so I figured I'd ask. Is the market functioning? If not, is it "not functioning yet," or more of a "not happening?" TIA Later on, Generator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crindon Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I have been wondering the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjolnerd Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 As I understand it, the markets require a separate server (or at least shard) to function. I'd expect it to be a while.

DarkTower Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 My guess is that it's architected as a web service in front of a database that functions like a separate app (and in essence is a web application, though it has an in game UI) - I never sniffed the network back in the day to see the activity, but that's how I would have built it. So, that probably means that a dedicated web server has to be setup and the code itself may not be reverse engineered or may not be in possession - it might even be written in a managed language. Just some supporting speculation as to why it could be some time, and why it wouldn't have been a direct priority yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generator Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 Sounds like it's "Not yet, and I wouldn't bet the under," based on what you're saying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
