#### Group Hall / Trading House Update? Please?

It seemed like group buildings and trading halls were sort of top of the docket for development, but it's been a little while since we've heard anything about them. Given that the general forum is more and more given over to offers to trade various goods, I was wondering if there were any notes on progress in that direction?
Also, if there were hints about what it would take to actually build such a building, that'd be keen. I dimly recollect building permits being part of it - and there was some discussion about crystals coming into it somehow?

- I still don't quite get this. If group halls were available, what would people use them for?

- Obviously I'm not staff and am not giving the latest info, but the last I heard it was still their top priority and could hit before the end of the year -- though I'd bet first quarter next year if forced to guess.
  @Walrusz -- They're actually more like private streets than buildings, from what has been said, and they will be customizable via new skills that have been hinted at such as rock summoning. So if you want a private street covered in sparkly, group halls will possibly make it happen.
  Depending on how the resources get laid out, I hope to talk my mining friends into building one together.

- i heard big updates were supposed to come out before the new year... From a staff member in game, not sure what that meant but...

- The last time I heard Group Halls discussed, it was in reference to something related to the auction house - that perhaps we'd see in-game trading posts between players.
  For one, I still like the idea of a cooperative, trading goods for everyone's benefit, and having a shared but controlled space to serve as the clearing house would be fantastic.
