auction servers

How can You create auction servers covering from Brasil to China and Indonesia?!?
There is no quiet time to bet when someone who is not sleeping can buy cheaply.
Greedy ba....ds!

You need to look at times locally when those other countries are sleeping. Unfortunately wherever you are there will always be someone who is awake and waiting for that 18yo fast trainer just like you!
Good luck.

In fact, everyone anytime is awake. Who are these other countries when the server spans the entire world.
All levels, 24h zone for 15 players in every 4 mins+ no one like and buy weak players, because in that system they are weak for every league level.

Managers are assigned into servers with the least number of active players, so it will keep the auctions active with reasonable bidding among all servers. Nordeus could also gain by collecting Ts with those bids.

Servers covering all countries also make sense as it will be fair to all managers in all time zones. Imagine if a server only has European players, then there will be a riot of bids for even rubbish players in certain hours when most of them could play. Then many would complain they cannot even buy rubbish players.

My own observation is auction market tends to go quieter from around 11pm GMT to 2am GMT (excluding day 1 to 3 when many can somehow sleep less ). Probably most Europeans (going to sleep), Africans (sleeping) and Asians (just getting up) are not as active. FT just needs 2 managers’ bidding to go to the roof, so that’s just how it would be. May get some 5T bargain on young 80%+ players if lucky.
