  1. "Ability to pay rupees from website to other players."

    So a good bulk of the sales in EMC actually happen outside MC which is kind of cool. However, there are sometimes issues or delays in the final transaction based on payment. If I won an auction, I could pay even when I can't get in-game so that way the other person have the funds and will create the access for me for when I can get on.

    Like many things I've suggested, this is not a huge deal, and maybe just a nice to have. There will be many who do not think this is needed and since a large percentage of players do not even use the forums/website normally it may not be worth the effort. However there is a lot of commerce handled on the website which is why I suggested this for thought.
  2. I believe in the past this has been turned down due to multiple reasons - mainly the fact that adding stuff to the forums is a HUGE pain right now (we're running an ancient version of Xenforo - and when we eventually update it stuff will break), and for security concerns (although perhaps this one could be mitigated now by only enabling the feature for people with 2 step authentication enabled).

    This has been suggested multiple times before and can probably answered with this quote from another thread by Aikar:
    "All, While i'm sure there are many things you would love to be improved about the forums, sadly we do not have the capability to improve the forums really.

    We use a forum software called Xenforo, it is not written by us. This means we do not have much control in how the forums themselves behave.

    So not much can really change on the forums, such as filtering auctions from Recent Activity etc.

    About the only thing we can do is install new modules or make custom modules (such as Leaderboards).

    If you have found a premade Xenforo module that you think would benefit the Empire, then please post that, but otherwise most small changes to the forums simply will not be possible"
