I would like to have a new feature. Most know this can make you rich, most know this can make you poor. But the thing is: Stocks (big intro and title spoiled it).
Yes, stocks. The basic stuff:
1. Each stock price would depend on the art:
Wooden Sword-Little
Reprisal Sword-Medium
Sword Of might- High
2. And, rust like rl, the prices would go up depending on how the business is doing. So, if i were to buy 1 stock of Reprisal Sword for lets say 5k. If tons of reprisal sword were sold, then i might sell the stock for lets say 5.5-6k.
But if very few were sold, i might sell it for 3-4k
3. H/MH/GH Arts would be a little higher than others-
So a GH Sword would be worth more than Probably an Equilibrium Blade/SoM.\
4. All stock prices should only be raised by buying from the Artifact Shop. But, of course the store would have to be constantly restocked. If that will not happen, then it could always run from Facilities
Thank you for viewing, please note some kinks i may have left out and feel free to give me good/bad criticism!! |

| Sorry I logged off WeeSzY and got on Blayde but it still posted with me alternate:( |
| You forgot one big detail in order for this to actually work. Why would anyone want to buy the stock for 5k gold? The stock itself must actually generate income. Therefore, for each reprisal sword sold, a portion of the proceeds must go to the stockholder. Only thus does the stock will have value. |
@4
The stock does not have to be 5k. as i said, like in real life-it differs
As for prices, the admins should choose a reasonable (not cheap or expensive!) prices. And as for generating income. Tons of people have lost money in the stock market, income is not always gonna happen. If you live in the US just look at the stock crash of 1929 (i think). The very same could happen here... |

I think you misunderstood me. Stocks are not just pieces of paper to be bought and sold in the market. In the first place, why would a stock have value, be it 100g or 10000g? It is because they generate passive income or the company behind the stock will have some sort of incredible growth in the future.
There are 2 types of gains to be made when you buy a stock in real life, dividends and capital growth. Dividends give you small, but steady stream of income. Capital growth (or loss) is when the stock price goes up, you get an unrealised profit. Ultimately, what determines capital growth is how much of dividends the company pays or will be able to pay in the future.
Coming back to your idea, the only way someone will want to buy a stock for the business of selling reprisal sword is to give them a share of profits from selling the art. Nobody sane enough will buy a "paper stock" with hopes of somebody willing buy it later at a higher price. |
@6
Im just gonna take that as a -1 so now it puts it at even.
But, anyway thanks for the criticism :D it is welcomed. |
You missed out another point. Who/what controls the price for the stock to increase or decrease?
Price of stock doesn't increase just because many reprisal swords were sold; there has to be a reason for the increase in demand for it, hence resulting in increase in price.
Like Kiz said, the reason feeding demand for the stock is ultimately how much dividends the company pays or will be able to pay in the future, which is usually determined by how goods its business has been.
So, stockholders should receive a portion of the profits, and the stocks should be traded freely on the market. There shouldn't be restrictions imposed on what the price of each stock of each art should be. |
Who/what controls the price for the stock to increase or decrease?
good point without admins here basicly helpless |
| This is a good idea. However, I think it will fail if you will base it on artifacts. Because they are commodities and commodities dont have stocks. Its the company that sells the commodity that has stocks. |
| Good Idea, Chance .. but the hardest part, is that Admins cannot control anything here, maybe too busy in RL or .Ru .. :) |
