We have a history info window on items. Add more info.
- Break it down in to Planet Histories and Universe Histories so there's one main tab for the entire virtual universe that calculates all Planet Histories inside of it. Also perhaps add some tick marks that let you calculate histories on only certain planets you click check mark next to, etc.
- Add new subtabs on each Planet's history for markup on shop sales. Keep the current history info that displays now as 'auction history' for universal history. Restart everything other than the universal history for each planet from scratch as new entires on all of it.
- Allow stuff that can't be sold in auction to have market history too (tt items since tiered items might have more value, etc, event items that can't be sold in auctions, etc.)
- maybe even add a p2p trading section to the histories for any p2p trade in which peds only is paid by at least one of the traders (exception being if someone trades peds for peds or something weird since market value on peds should always be tt+0 since tt value is what the ped is)
- Link to a list of all items in the virtual universe (similar to what you can find in banks)... and include history info on all of that too... Add new fuctionality to that which indicates areas in the game that the item in question in that master list can be found in shops or auctions at this time, including estate deed name info (i.e. Port Atlantis Mall Floor 3, shop 1, etc., Omegaton West Habitat, Alpha Tower Booth #2, etc.) ... and list all of the prices that those auctions/shops are currently listing the items at that point in time... BE SURE TO INCLUDE THE NAME OF PLANET TOO...
- for non-stackable items, include list of previous owners and dates they owned the items in question. This could make cool items have some historical relevance for societies, etc. It also could lead to collectors item collections, and/or just give current owner a way to ask questions to previous owners in case they didn't buy direct from previous owner so didn't get their name or add to fl, etc. Since support suggest that we ask the community on many things they can't or won't answer (even it it is a technical question that they should be able to answer better than any participant), give us more ways to actually do that.
- Add 'out of' section to item info screens to explain how many items of this type exist in the virtual universe. Since markup is directly related to quantity and only the server really knows how many of any given item really exists, this would give the 'real cash economy' more of a real world basis sort of. Right now, value of things is very much a guessing game because it's not known 'for sure' exactly how many of x exists, etc. This will make the truely rare/unique items be worth what they really should be more, and the items that are worth a lot less not be able to be market manipulated by auction scammers, etc. that make some item that is really useless and rarely sold due to low demand look like it's worth a lot by having their friends/alt avatars buy the stuff off of the auctions at insane prices just to make the markup artificially inflate, etc. This 'out of' section could apply to stackables too, not just non-stackables since it might help people better determine what stackables should be worth based on rarity, etc.
- add a section to market history that shows TT value of this item that was sold to TT and include that in market graphs. If perception of markup is based solely on auction and not on number of items sold to the TT markup perception is falsely based on smaller section of items in game than it should be based on. Number of items sold to tt daily should, in theory, lower daily markup value, but I don't think it currently does.
Feel free to add more ideas to this if you want.
