What plans do you have for the online based aspecs of the game? Can you explain the gifting system clearly (i.e. why are some items that are sent to people turned into rocks?)

Are there any plans for a more in depth online trade system or Auction house, if you will, in the making.

I understand the basis behind the Online Ur-Dragon fight, but one of the problems I cross a lot is being able to fight the Dragon when his health is close to death or in "grace period." I could fight this dragon 15 or 20 times in a row and because of the up-and-down health bar scenario he doesn't get to the kill point until some silly AM hour in the morning and that complicates being able to get the kill shot for people who can't always be up at those early hours when the dragon dies - How would you address this issue?
