Adding a Stock Market

An Alternative way to make money... just like life... (other ways that stealing it... or earning it yourself from hunting)
I think that adding a Stock Market would be for the better of Nightmist... you could link it into each item (buying stock for short swords)
- Each item would be bought & sold in shares.
- Each share is worth an amount of gold = to the # of that item in game (in the inventory of, or equipped on any crit) at the moment + (the amount of shares bought for that item x (1.8 to 3)) + (Average # of shares / person x Item cost) Divided by the # of that item in game (in the inventory of, or equipped on any crit)
- (what I just said, but formatted...) Share$$$ = #Iig + (#Shares X (rdm#, 1.8-3)) + (#shares ppXI$) / #Sig.
- Buying them would cost the same as selling them (at the same time, but a day latter, they maybe worth more or less, depending on if the item is sold/bought)
About the shares:
How are they bought?
Online, at the games website.
How are they sold?
Also at the games website.
Are they actual items in game?
No, they are not, because, that is how it works in "real life".
Then, How can I tell what shares I have?..
A command would have to be added to the game so that people could type: "/shares" for each crit, and find out what their invested in, and how much.
Can I buy/sell shares at any time?
Yes & No... You can only buy & sell shares when you are logged out, but you can check to see how each share is doing while you are logged on. But other than that, yes you can buy & sell shares at all times of the night. (for you who live in night-land... like me...  )
Other:
- Shares are per/crit, not per/account... unless JLH knows a way that'd work... it'd probably be easier for people that are new to it... or we could all just use one crit!
- Items that can not be sold at stores (boss drops & the like) would not be included in this system.
(Let's see that Algorithm one more time
Share Worth=
The worth of shares in gold (in game)
#Iig
Number of the item in game.
+
Plus.
(#Shares X (rdm#, 1.8-3))
Number of shares times a random number ranging 1.8 to 3.
+ Plus.
(#shares ppXI$)
Number of shares per person.
Divided.
#Sig
Number of Shares in game.

Nice effort, but there wasn't a Wall Street in medieval fantasy. I know JLH and Pandilex were trying to make a sort of 'trade' system, but it lingers 'in development.'

Well, that depends on how this game's code is already set up... it it's set up to do half the things that this system would require, then yea.. it'd be easy, but if not... it'd take like 0-3 weeks to compleate (depending on how much JLH works on it... )

If I remember correctly JLH once said when there was 162 million gold ingame that it was to much. So knowing now that there is more gold in the game I don't believe this is something he will go for.
I do however like the idea and the thought you put into it. Hope to see more of your suggestions soon...

More! More! When I posted about a month ago (not as long as this, but just as good of ideas...) I got bashed on like mad.  (althought that could be because it was against Pk'ing... or for a 'Pointless' command addition... but a few did make it though...)
