The commods rewrite was listed as a 2006 goal. I'm totally aware and sympathetic to the fact that other things took priority. It's been planned sense 2002 though (As I found out by a look at the froums) and it wasn't completed in 2006 either. Now that it's 2007, Can we get a status update? I know that ETA's are a bad idea too, everyone whines when it doesn't reach that point. Just wondering what's going on with it, if any works been done this year on it, etc.
Thanks!

I've been working on it the past two years, unfortunately since I am not a GM, or even have access to the DR codebase, I've been doing all my code in C++.
Now the hard part is actually integrating it into DR itself, and convincing Bubba and other GM's to allow me to do so.
Nevermind the fact that I have the actual system coded, and not any actual data points, so if I activated what I have now, you'd simply be left with "A grain of sand" as a commodity, with very little value; even though you could buy/sell that to your hearts content. Problem being there would also be no market fluctuation, since those values are left unset.
Even Worse is the fact that I do not account for Muspa'ri having more Sand than most other places.... Hell Aesry would have as much sand as Muspari, and I don't even have shipping trading working yet. :(
(Yes, I am not a GM right now, nor do I have the time to actually be one; even though I do feel my programming knowledge would be an asset if I did apply as one)
