You could explain that the villans are actually just one of their henchmen in the old villan's costume. :)
As for the quests, I don't know.

I'm currently a bit confused about the auction times, but it may be related to the above stated explanation. I placed two auctions after eachother, one for 1 hour, one for 3 hours. On my Open Auctions page, the end dates are listed as: 2008-01-15 22:43:48 2008-01-15 19:42:50 These times are 3 hours ...

One place you could stick a timestamp is in the 'title' of the user name link. You still can't get away from the extra 20% being sent, but it wouldn't clutter it up any.

I wasn't really thinking about whether they would work well at the time.
It was just the only literary device that I could think of that is somewhat associated with the game.
I guess we could go with epic poetry.

But yeah, seriously, the best way is just well done hints.

I'm asuming along the same lines as AxiS' problem. I had 7 items in the Auction House, 6 of them sold, and I got all chips and the one that didn't sell, but only got 2 messages. While it was nice not getting bombarded with them, if they're supposed to be showing up, they should.

I think the OP meant the Strengh, Intellect, and Reflex points gained from the VR center. For example, if they did stay, and I had gained 10 strength points from there, upon switching classes, I would have (The normal starting amount )+10 Strength. This is currently no the case.

I would agree that this would be a very interesting mechanic, and probably be very fun. The problem I see is the coding and database design for it.
I had a similar idea for a project of my own, and believe me, it's not an easy thing to do.
