What are your plans with this new feature?
Just to make clear, this is in Survival, right? Or are we establishing a use for money in Creative?
You can use it anywhere, the money is linked… There just isnt a real use for it in creative
If it’s alright with you guys, I’d like to make a ‘stock market’ (/warp stocks) I’ll have a stock board which I will update weekly with 20 or so companies and how they performed over the past 7 days. I’m also thinking of having a smaller board with the best performing company for the week (%increase), and which player made the most money from stocks in the last week (capital worth).
Is this okay with you John? I’m sure Madant would like the idea too 
If possible I could help VRA with the stock exchange area if he needs help, maybe add a few cool bits posibly get some sort of scout to post what he think people should put money on and that sort…
Otherwise love the idea John!
Sounds like a great idea VRA! Just to make it clear, what “companies” are you going to post on the board? Do you have to sign up or is it linked to the economy stats on the website?

Let’s git the monies.
In all seriousness, this is a silly, small idea, but it can make a huge difference in the game economy; we’ll have people watching stocks like mad, and who knows, maybe some members will do it in real life later down the road.
Survival’s economy has been dead for some time now. Maybe this could spark new life into it?
/Warp stocks is now a thing!
Go check it out, there is some general information, and a button warp to the stock exchange (Currently under construction) in Big City!
Thanks to Mark and Ruby for their help with button warps today
