Market stats

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 26.04.2007, 16:32

This *may* have been mentioned before, but I'd love to see stats on the market. (Average price sold in last 24 hours, quantity sold in last 24 hours etc.)

As of right now, without watching the market for a day actively, I cannot tell which markets are selling products quicker than others, or know if the market is going up in price or down. Right now, we simply can take snapshots as we look at the market, but cannot get a complete picture.

Sorry if this has been suggested before.

It has, but no harm in a little more asking. It's my #1 request as well; I think it would be great to have a chart of past market transactions, both to make decisions and just see for fun how the market reacts. I'd even settle just for raw data which any of us could filter and graph if desired.

For what it's worth, I don't believe Tycoon has ever officially shot down the idea or confirmed it as a possibility. So it's probably one of those things that won't happen soon for technical reasons, but one day who knows?

this is a very good idea, but i think that there would be much programming and data collecting involved

isn't it the case for every proposal ?

I did not look your proposal up again at the moment, but as far as I remember this also had the requirement of min and max prices for the market (as otherwise offers for 600,000 and 0,01 would falsify the average prices on the market....) and such min & max prices won*t come...

Furthermore the shops stats are much more important for the game, as they also fix the sales time... the market averages do not have any effect on future market offers...

I believe this is the thread you're thinking of Tycoon, but that wasn't my idea nor is it what we're talking about here. This has nothing to do with limiting sales.

All we're asking for is to see information on what happened on the market. The way it is now, once a transaction takes place we have no idea what was offered or purchased. Asher just wants average and total count, whereas I would prefer individual data points. But it's basically the same thing.

eta:Here is the thread where I mentioned this before. But I expect it's not that memorable since I piggy-backed on someone else's suggestion. Kind of like I did this time.
