There are some fundamental differences in theory here. He wants users to create companies, I want to use existing companies.. .

Well, I don't know. But doesn't the general store, if it doesn't sell an item within a certain time, deletes the item? And most people I know don't buy from general stores unless it's an item they can't do without. I know that if someone wanted to implement this, they would have to redesign the economy from the ground up, including how stores and banks work.

Well, a store would count as the same store, no matter the location or server. It's like wal-mart. Many chains, but it's the same stock. . .

I've been studying the stock market in school lately, and I think this is just what runescape needs. If a P2P member wants to post this Idea on the official runescape forums, feel free! The Idea here is to sell shares of stock to citizens through the banking system. These shares would be valued by the amount of worth whatever shop is for that point. for example: the General store pays $100,000 gp for Items that day. It makes $300,000 The Value of the stock total goes up by $200,000. That amount would be divided by the #of shares of stock there are in circulation (for the example 50,000) That means that the value of one share of stock would go up by $4. Realistically, all these numbers would be very much higher. I would think that the general store would make this much in 5 minutes (All the General Stores in all locations in all worlds) I also think that the # of shares would be in the billions range... I would suggest this to be open to all players, but any player who is inactive for 6 months would forfeit his shares. .Further more, the total amount of money generated that day (drops, treasure chests, etc) Would have to be controlled some how, And I think this would be a good way to. BTW, the inflation problem in runescape, any suggestions?
