1 copper deposit waits until 17 November

Selling cheap items on the Auction House in World of Warcraft: Forever stays expensive for a few more days. The minimum deposit of 1 copper is not live yet. It comes with the weekly maintenance on 17 November, says Blizzard.

What happened

The hotfix notes of 10 November listed the new minimum, and we wrote in our post about those hotfixes that it was live. On 12 November at 01.48 Belgian time, Blizzard took it back out:

We’ve temporarily removed Auction House changes from yesterday’s update, as they will go live with scheduled weekly maintenance on November 17.

The change returns in the hotfix notes after that maintenance.

Why it matters

Until then every auction costs at least 1 silver in deposit, see how the deposit works now. For cheap items that eats a large part of the profit, and if the auction does not sell, the silver is gone. After 17 November the deposit follows the vendor price again: 5, 20 or 60% of it for 2, 8 or 24 hours. Low-level crafters can wait a few days with their cloth and leather.
