Stock exchanges (also called Stock markets and Share markets) enable players to buy and sell shares in Nodes, Guilds, Social organizations, and Religions.[1][2][3][4][5] The stock exchange system is still in a 'paper design' phase and is subject to change.[2]
- There's a number of different things where you can have success/failure points that then inform the metric that the stock price is predicated on; and players can purchase in at a certain price. That's the intent behind the stock market system.[2] – Steven Sharif
- The value of stocks is influenced by world events that relate to the performance of the stocks, including Guild wars, Node wars, Node policies, Caravan runs, Trade agreements, and Monster coin events.[2][6]
- Q: Is it possible that as an outside actor you could influence the performance of a particular organization across one of those events?
- A: The answer is yes. So, if you wanted to, as an adverse party, engage a particular organization, you could do that. You could engage with, let's say, a guild that you don't like when they're running a trade run, or when they're engaged in a node war, or when they're attempting to complete a raid boss. There is the PvX component of being able to interrupt or engage with them in those events and turn the outcome towards a negative, driving the potential stock value of that organization down.[2] – Steven Sharif
- Stock exchanges were a Kickstarter stretch goal unlocked for reaching the $3 million dollar mark.[5] They are a planned feature for the launch of Ashes of Creation.[3]
Some of the following information has not been recently confirmed by the developers and may not be on the current development roadmap.
- Hard metrics, such as quest lines, nearby resources, citizen progression, and purchases of local real estate, will determine the value of purchasable shares.[5]
- There is no regulatory commission to restrict the purchase and sale of stocks.[6]
