The silent and fledgling portions of the 2020 RB Auctions concluded tonight at 11:30 PM EST.

This year's auctions were under new management, with Smerberous and Addie taking up the mantle of auction heads with the assistance of Wyntr and GrimreaperMoon. Having taken over the auctions, this team made a number of changes which impacted the functioning of the event. The most notable changes this year are as follows:
  • Staff do not take a cut, 100% of fund go to the participants
  • A new section was opened, specifically designed to help fledglings
  • The term 'slave' was not used - this year, the auctions had participants
  • This year there was also a push to include more diverse skills and services
These changes seem to have been well received by those who participated; auction results can be found below.
