Posted September 5, 2017 STOCK MARKET FOR IDENTITY < > Creating a Stock Market in-game is something which I personally and I think many others, would appreciate as it is a large part of the economy which we live in today. Making it related to the actions that happen in game would make it even better, this may though be hard due to the fact that, there will most likely be a lot of different things happening at the same time. However it would make the game feel even more like real life, in my opinion. It could give people the possibility to learn more about one of the leading economic segments in the world. And if stock marketing in-game was made possible a further improvement of this could be, an application made for iphone/android, where you could invest and sell stocks on your phone IRL, I believe this would be something that many would find interesting. And for my 2nd idea if stock market was in-game, jobs as stock brokers could become a possibility, telling other people what to buy, and earring commission of what they sell. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 5, 2017 Its a really great idea, I love it actually as I do invest irl in stocks. It could though be pretty hard to make a good stock market in this game but who knows maybe in the future it will be a possibility! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People will be having '' too much money '' with little effort while other work their asses off to make half of what stockholders have. Same concept with Casinos. They wont be player owned be cause the owner would have a too big of an advantage with the money he's making.

Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) I believe this could be done without ruining the economy or making players overly wealthy. It may have to be done with the player owned businesses local to the server. If someone walks into your store and likes your product, and thinks that you will make a lot of sales, they could invest in your stock. giving you extra money to buy more products to sell. Part of the startup cost of the business could be buying into your own stock, and theoretically if another player owned more than 50% of your stock they could takeover your business by buying you out. Could teach people a thing or two about running a business. Similarly if you wanted to sell your business you could sell your stock in the business to pad your wallet for the missed income from sales. Also, if you are a business owner making good sales, maybe AI brokers buy into your stock some. On the flip side, say you own a business and get charged with a crime, the AI brokers would sell your stock. This puts a little more responsibility on business owners. There will inevitably be people who are extremely rich in the game, if the game is balanced correctly it should't be a big problem. (If it is, well then I suppose it only makes it more realistic) Edited September 7, 2017 by Trinal Typos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 7, 2017 I've asked the question, and got a response. I'm terribly sorry but it was just confirmed (by Motown on tonight's stream) that there won't be a stock market. Only a commodity shop / market. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
