I think it would be REALLY cool if somehow there would be a stock market I've never seen this and think it would be a great idea because its a huge thing in irl economy. I don't know how you would do this but just a cool little thing to add maybe in the future.
So, I have decided that I'm tired of responding to these posts the same exact spiel every time. So, I dredged up all of the suggestions that have ever been made for a stock market system. First of all to everyone, DO NOT necro these threads. They are for examples only and explanations of past arguments. Quote them if you want to, do not necro them. Previous stock market suggestions: http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/i-have-a-question-for-andrewkm.36538/ http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/suggestion-stocks-plugin.10894/ http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/suggestions-stocks.38184/ http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/suggestion-stocks-and-stock-market.47829/ http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/suggestion-stock-market.49743/ http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/a-stock-market.52710/ http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/stock-market-plugin.61327/ http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/company-incorporated-stocks.61344/ http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/suggestion.70001/ http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/suggestion-stock-market.69153/ http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/just-a-suggestion.84293/ So now I say to you, if you can address all of the problems pointed out in these threads. If you can come up with a realistic and automated server run stock system, I might get behind this. As for the problems illustrated in these threads: 1) It would need to be able to keep up with 'real time' which means it would need to be constantly checking whats going on. Which means it would lag the server, so sayeth Kuke: 2) Most of the plugins that do this are out of date. A ton of the suggestions I mentioned above have that issue. 3) How realistic can it really be? Is the system going to just be random? If so thats not stock markets, thats gambling. 4) Who decides the stocks? The players? Andrew? The program? How do we decide prices? 5) Do you have a suggested plugin? 6) In a way, we already have a stock market. Finally a comment from one of the people who made a suggestion similar to this:
