This suggestion is made with the intent of implicating a custom stock market plugin that can work with the current economy system and interact with the market system.

For example, a player could initiate a company for some form of a fee, set a percentage of the company's "wealth"/value that will be public for shares., and that company can go 'live' and pay whatever they want to value a single share to be. (/com set shareprice {integer up to 10000}
[Companies are tied to the usernames of players that 'join' the company. Only executives would really need to join it. Items sold with either player shops or via auction house would add value to the stock of that company.

Example:
Company name: TradeStruct [/com set name]
Executives: theyhatenixie [/com executive invite]
Public Stock Percentage: 20% [/com set publicpercent] ; in this example, 20% of the company's value can be bought by any user via [/com buyshare {company name} {number of shares}. Partial shares are unnecessary but still useful. Whole shares maintain integer rules which are easier for development.

Share Value: 250 [/com set shareprice {integer}] ; One share will cost 250 for the first person to buy a share, unless the market changes before then.
^^^ You can only set this once per company, and it is required to be set in order to go live. The lowest can be set to 100, the highest can be set to 10000.

Market Cap is a statistic that can be viewed similarly to nation/town wealth using [/com info marketcap {company name}]

This should also get a channel in the CCNet discord similar to #market, showing changes and fluctuations within various companies.

I can go much further into detail if need be, and this is a hefty suggestion, so I will understand whatever outcome it may be.

There are stock market mods already existing out there that you likely can modify to incorporate this.

Thank you. :)
