When, if ever, are auctions going to be avalible in other servers?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Auctions are still unavailable in servers other than the main. I would like to be able to hold auctions on my own servers so I and my friends can bid on pokemon without the interference of others.

Describe the solution you'd like A release date or planned release date for the unlock of this feature would be much appreciated, or if this is not planned on happening, please change the error log to specify this when you try to start an auction on another server.

If I recall correctly, the list of planned items are simply the things Oliver has put on the list in order to let people know that those ideas (which are the most frequently requested/wanted) have already been accepted, so that people won't have to make a ticket for it (such as this one). I don't speak on Oliver's behalf, but I'm fairly certain that he's rewriting most of the bot's code to optimize it. The last time those planned ideas were mentioned to me, it was stated that Breeding would be out by the start of summer (might be hearsay), though I don't know if that will be happening since we have about 4-5 weeks until summer and he's still rewriting code.

Also, I'm fairly certain that auctions will be organized as to allow players to bid on auctions from other servers, not have different auction houses in different servers (someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that's how Pokecord worked).

The original intention was to have auctions be separate per server. That is to say an auction started in the Poketwo Official Server would be limited to only those in the server. I would not be able to bid on an auction in Joe's server unless I could bid inside Joe's server. The reason for this would be to separate market from auction. Why would I ever list a Pokemon on the market if there was a chance of getting a higher price on auction? Market's value is that it is public and reaches a larger audience. Auctions are valuable because you can reach higher values, perhaps much higher than expected. By limiting the scope at which auctions are avaibile, the relevance of market commands would be preserved.

Personally, I'm actually against the notion of making auctions public. This would keep the Official Server as a more centralized place and would reduce the possibilities of off server abuse of auctions (like auction inflation) and centralize information regarding Pokemon value to a single place. (this is of course, assuming auctions are limited to per server)

If I remember correctly, auctions were available in private servers(and were server specific) for limited amount of time . Auctions are temporarily disabled in private servers right now because of an issue ig

I like this idea...I think the ideal functionality is to make auction information accessible/searchable in all servers, but accommpany it with a message like: "To participate in auctions you must join the official server "

This is a good idea! A improvement to this would be, imo, have "auctions" show up on market as a little blurb, as some people don't join the OS, because they don't know about it, but they are missing out on auctions. Example:

Jeff: p!m s --sh --n eevee Poketwo: 69420 Level 69 Eevee 1000000pc

Tip: You can go to the official server (see p!invite), because there is 2 shiny eevee auctions going on right now!
