Economic Indicators

[Cromwell]

I think it would be a nice addition. We could have things like:
(Count only the active players,update everyday onto site)

Amount of gold
Number of players
Amount of gold per person
Number of GMs in each field
Quantity of materials in banks, houses

If it wouldn't be too difficult, we could also have a list of all of the items in player vendors and their average price (take off top %10 for error)
Maybe even track vendor (player & npc) transactions, so people will know what to supply.

I think it would bring some more depth into the game, and it would be interesting to watch how the numbers change over time
Here's the article that brought this possibility to my attention:

The In-game Economics of Ultima Online

What do you think?

i know some of thsoe features are available already, might wanna take a look at those on the main webpage

The vendor idea sounds really neat, I wouldn't mind seeing this at all. Good idea!

[Faust]

BlackFoot is correct. A few of those features can be found at the main site's statistics section here below.

Also, I don't think it's a bad idea at all to add more data to the statistics web site. It would be very interesting to be able to watch the status of the economy.

I believe that those on the webpage show all players, regardless of activity. And, merchant skills are only included in other.

Aye. I'd very much like to expand the info in my.UOSA, I've been trying to get to it for a while now

I'd never thought of this, I think Economy stuff, like a daily Gross Shard Product would be neat

Thanks guys!

I like the idea of watching the economy. Gives players (especially new ones) an idea of what range to sell things for.

I vote we open up the Britannia Trade Centers! Have our own version of the NASDAQ and DOW and then we can buy stocks on the thief guild and such and make or lose money! Gold sink woot!

Then Wylan can become a terrorist and crash a horse into it!
