    I suggest adding a feature here in the server's webpage for financial information.

    Each user should be able to see all his past transactions in a nice clean text log and it would also be nice to have spreassheets/charts with info like, current balance, total money earned so far, total money spent so far, items most sold to server, most sold to players, items most bought from players, etc.

    I think it would be very cool.

    For those that feel that with the removal of mcmmo we've lost the antagonizing aspect of ecc i think this would help fill that gap a little

    I cant be sure if it will be taxing for the hardware. It will probably need quite a bit of storage capacity for all the information of every individual player

    Another possible issue is that since each player should only be able to access his own info, there should be a login system. It will most likely require to co-relate the forum accounts with the server usernames. Loging in this webpage with our in-game username and password might have serious security loopholes.

    I really believe adding something like this would be totally awesome.

    /DISCUSS!!!! :cool:

    because most of the transactions in ECC are player-based, as in here have $500 now throw diamonds at me, it would not be able to track all of that information. however, if all you are looking for is something like a graph of how much money you have had over time, this would be possible but would most likely cause drain on server depending on what andrew does with it. if it is tracking you all the time, not going to happen most likely. however, if andrew were to do a check balance of all players at a specific time, like 12 PST or something, and add that info to server it may work without to much drain. assuming he wanted to do this at all, i would suggest that he only keep records of residents+ to reduce memory usage, and like the GDB possibly have a limit on it? im not sure, maybe he could keep a month long record without too much memory usage, or maybe he could barely handle a day before the memory situation got precarious. i doubt something like this will happen, but it is possible.

    My only thought after reading this post was: You were here when ECC had MCMMO? And you're a builder that joined April 7th? I joined before you and wasn't here for MCMMO. :shock:

    Tkick, some people read all news / announcements when they first join, to get caught up. :p There would have to be at least one thing about mcmmo.

    Anyhow, I agree with Kimn, adding some sort of balance thing would help for transactions.

    I think my first day on the server was the last day that mcmmo was active. But i've also read the various threads that are discussing all about it :twisted:
