Here's the best equation I could think of:
base value * stocks owned by npcs/stocks owned by pcs
Make some progs(or whatever) for a bunch of mobs in a certain zone to mill
around, and scream things(like by or sell) to crystal balls. Make the guy
on the balchony king. Take the mayor progs(or whatever), give them to him,
and don't change anything except for "I declare Midgaard city open" and
closed to the stock market. Put in lots of things for your players to
pilfer, it will make them feel important, and dirty at the same time.
In all seriousness, everything is based on supply and demand(I
believe)(not trying to take your credit, other guy that responded, just
elaborating). Aren't stocks just a divy of all of the buisnesses wealth?
Something like that. Oh well...never mind...I've lost my will to
elaborate.
