Argonath Stock Market V3 - 3 days

[Rick.]

Nice

[Jubin]

The company(IRL) I use charges a 30% brokerage fee; and I don't even talk to them in person, its done by their website so its not really "leeches". Its called a brokerage fee, which is a commission to the broker. As I've stated I don't make money, and there has to be some way to pay the brokers and handlers. I think 15% is pretty reasonable.

I understand you and in real life it does work. Argonath although is not real life and here 15% is a lot. If some rich guys makes 1mil deal 300k goes to brokerage fees. Now in the context of Argonaths current money system 300k is a lot.

PS: As the system has been up for a while now how can't I see any changes in stock prices at all? Is that a problem or should it really be like that?

[Mikro]

It is supposed to be that. Since first the shares needs to be bought from the companies, before people can bid and sell. Only then the prices can start fluctuate based on bid and ask.

Important Notice:
Due to a back-end system bug, we will be pulling the system offline for roughly 48 hours to rework some of the features.

Simulation will be disabled to prevent damage to assets.

Argonath Stock Market is back online!

We've added some new features in the downtime!
   Low Bandwidth Mode   
This feature, a new setting in your account is used for users who want to cut down on loading time due to browser, computer or
internet connection problems/ other issues and load times are simply too long. This feature will aggressively moderate which plugins
 are loaded, what features are loading while still not limiting the full capability of the site.

   Loading Time comparisons:     
Normal Avg:    0.345 seconds   
Low Band. Avg:    0.153 seconds     

 New Error System!   
We will slowly be switching over to this new sweet UI error notifier. Rather getting an error like 'register.php?e=2',
the site will redirect you to just 'register.php' yet a nice box will appear in the lower right hand corner with a description of
the error, simply click the 'x' to close this error.
This is not fully added, and some pages may still contain the older error handling system.

Very nice idea. Let's just hope it doesn't crash.

Wow, there should be a Argonath banking and OAuth API so players can link their accounts directly to this system.

[Teddy]

Site is down due to hosting complications.

We will have the site up and running again, or switched shortly.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Okay the site is down, but when i went to argonathstockmarket.info it says " Account Suspended" . So i am a little confused that will my account be back when the forums will be back?

It could be a misunderstanding with the host that they are trying to work out. When the site is back up, as is their database, (if hosted elsewhere), then your account will be back too.

[Teddy]

The hosting has been resumed, the account in which the web site was hosted on was suspended by the provider, thus giving the message "Account Suspended". This issue has been resolved and all of the sites have been resumed. The database is hosted by the same provider and remains unaffected.

Okay Thanks.

The idea is being discussed about a Argonath Stock Market API, that would make it possible for Argonath servers to poll ASM servers rather having the system poll Argonath servers. This idea is still in the infant stages and will be presented in the coming weeks to server leaders/owners to see its possibilities. The only concern of the developers of ASM is the fact of RP needs to still some how be maintained.

The idea of corporate bonds have been handed into a voting system. Read the description of the corporate bonds, and you can vote yes (up) or no (down) to support the idea. If in the next two weeks more votes are yes, then the bonds will be instated. In a normal situation, you would need to be a shareholder of Argonath Stock Market (in any city) to participate in a vote. However, for this we have opened the voting to the public.


Corporate Bonds
A corporate bond is a system that will allow a company to sell a limited number of bonds to citizens for a price. These bonds will be re-payed by the company over a period of time (two months) in weekly payments to the bond holders. This is an investment opportunity for a citizen to invest into a company allow it to grow and make money. A company has to make the payments back after 3 weeks after the bonds are sold. There is a 0.50% interest addition onto the company, and there is no interest or hidden fees collected by the Argonath Stock Market. 

Vote
(Up for Yes, Down for No)
   
Voting Closes: 4/20/2012
Every household is granted 1 vote, the system will not allow submissions of multiple votes. The corporate headquarters reserves the right to close voting at anytime or to choose to instate the system regardless of vote outcome and vise-versa.

Can you be more specific about the profit for an investor?
