minerealm stock exchange

My idea is to have a page / area in game that tells players the average price for a iterm in game
The prices may change from time to time due to fall/increase demand of the iterm.

I belive that will benifite the srever buy stopping players scaming each other buy charging way more for a iterm than another player/shop.
Shops can still charge more or less for that product then the stock exchange recomends this is only a guied to the price.
players will be able to see if the price they are being charged is ok or way to high.

As minereals econemy is doing well with lots of trade this will only benifite it further.
please consider my idea and please offer any surrgestions they would be welcome.

Many regards

Please take a good look at the trade forum for me?

If you are not blind then you should be able to see that I have already attempted this, and frankly I say good luck! You will have a hard time getting enough data for a large multitude of items other than diamond, stone and dirt. Another problem is that people simply don't know the prices themselves so unless you get a ridiculously large sample (like I tried) then it will be almost impossible to get an almost true value.

Whilst it is a noble idea it is not a very good one, even if you overcome the problems I encountered then you will realise you will not have stopped new players from being scammed as they generally only come to the forums when they are banned. And you said in game, I can only laugh I am sorry but its all I can do. Does the server not have enough strain already with so many newer players? If we could have an in game browser I am sure it would be used for stating the rules for a start...

Furthermore I like trading how it used to be, when items were traded in diamonds and not knowing guide lines for prices is more fun. Its hardly like the price of coal will fluctuate as more players become More Economically Developed Realms over time, that is just being ridiculous economics in a static game like this are exactly that, Static.

PS: Please learn to spell and use English properly, it pains me to see this.

Really? There's only one person a̶u̶t̶i̶s̶t̶i̶c determined enough to do this, and that person gave up after 3-4 updates.

And in a free market there's no such thing as scamming. The price is whatever stupid people are willing to pay.

Gave up? Try obsolete, brochacho.

Want a stock market and Economy article to go along with the RC system? Just say the word :P

In most cases, anything that requires the work of someone else is destined for failure, unless you make the case VERY strong. I don't want to discourage you from posting ideas by saying this, but if you do, don't give a tone such that you are pretty much forcing the admins to do all the work for it.
*cough*

I am not forcing the admins to do all the work I am just saying that any ideas I come up with will have to be looked at by admins or modified by them before put in to practice

Shouldn't you be doing your arena system, the newspaper to go along with that system, your Minerealm fanfic, your first Minerealm Newspaper, fixing your war system, your adventure map on creative, or basically any of the oodles of unfinished things you've already got on your plate before trying out a 20th thing?

I am putting ungodly amounts of effort in to the arena system currently, except that a vacation to Hawaii is slowing the process. Haven't you seen the thread / the newspaper going along with it? There isn't much to write about if it isn't done yet, so I don't see the point in putting a filler article in. This isn't DBZ. Furthermore, you wouldn't know how much work is going in to it because you can't get on the server (inb4 you brag about alts that can access it).

I took a break from the fanfic for about two weeks before writing Chapter 4, and then realizing that the project isn't my top priority, decided to move back to Realm Wars.

Enter 3.0 announcement, stage left. Realm Wars inevitably becomes obsolete with the release of 3.0, and in its current state, it is far too complex anyway. Realm Wars gets dropped due to the entirely different metagame that we get with the new Realm system as opposed to the old. You wouldn't know about that because you're banned.

Adventure map every now and then gets a little work, but I don't want to do a release until a ton of new content is added, and as a result, we don't hear much about it.

I don't know what other "oodles" you'd be talking about. Maybe the Generations chart, but work on that is unecessary now that Saves put all of the info on to a fully editable google doc (inb4 document griefing).
