so there's no server shop?

theyre replacing the /shop command with the /auction command which opens a mini chest ontop of your inventory and when you put stuff into it it goes into a chest on this website where you can put it up for auction.

I think it's a better system because the prices will be much more reasonable and you have a much larger selection to choose from.

About the prices, yes, Fatnoob already said that the prices will be kept under control, preventing going too high or too low depening on what the admins thinks is a fair price. The stock will also be regulated, preventing something to be put for sale if there's too much of that item already, in order to avoid a dropping in price.

About the selection... that depends entirely on what people is willing to sell.
That means a lot less control from the admins.

That's too bad, I liked doing /sell all so I could speed up my mining trips(on other servers I normally just toss my cobble). Auctioning stacks of cobblestone sounds like it'll be more trouble than it's worth and I'll probably go back to tossing.

Wonder with no /shop where the initial noobz will come from.

That's exactly what they wanted to prevent: having everything at your disposal from the start.

I agree that this way it will be more interesting, I just hope that the whole system will be calibrated enough to avoid bad stuff. Relying on the good will of people is never a completely good idea :|

The intial noobz will come from your _useful_ resources that you are willing to sell.

You'll probably find it easier to specialize in a few things, sell part of them and use the noobz to buy what you lack, keeping an eye on the auctions to see what's the top selling item and what's the least demanded one.

TL;DR: It's just like real life.

Unlikely: I believe its only 9 slots for auction like Mineapoc.

Also Reigando if you're just going to toss the cobble otherwise then I'll take it/buy it at a very low price. It will at least give you some money while letting me expand on my big projects as well as my town without having such a big toll on my money.

Wow, really looking forward to all of these updates. Wooo v6

  I like this Dynamic mob design, It will make things always interesting, and challenging.

  I have a question will this include town areas, or just wilderness ?

Excellent 
I definitely will be considering buying a bat. I will also enjoy the full white steed. Anyone have any ideas on a good name for him?
