The first two days of beta testing have revealed a bunch of minor changes to the game. With the new client v0.13a you will see the following:
- All prices have been made x10 so a single trade which increased or decreased a stock price by 1 will not have such an impact on the price shift. Accordingly the end conditions have been adjusted so that stocks will be bought back by the bank with a price x10 as well (8000 for the 1st, 4000 for the 2nd and so forth).
- Trading lock time has been increased to 2 hours. After you made a purchase, you can’t buy or sell the same stock for 2 hours. If someone else trades that stock however the time is reduced by half. Also: The time currently remaining is displayed in the market list as well as on the stock trade page. This time might be increased further if the amount of players increases. Be aware that what is displayed is not the final lock time, it can change depending on the trade of others!
- Example: You buy and would have to wait 2 hours. After 45 minutes someone else buys the same stock. So the total waiting time has been reduced to 60mins, giving you another 15mins to wait. A third person trading the stock will give you 120mins divided by 3 = 40 minutes of waiting time. Since you waited already 45mins the stock is unlocked for trade again immediately (and so forth). So even if you see a 2 hour waiting time it is worth to check back before the time ends in case someone else made a trade and thereby unlocked the stock.
- A Price History Graph has been implemented. However, this is still a very early stage and besides displaying a curve there is not much working yet. I just thought it might be helpful enough to be in there already.
- Minor Bugfixes: Depots that are empty are correctly removed from the list now.
works now on my bloody phone, good job! will report back aftrr furthr analysis.
btw, i cannot activate the mobile theme of your blog any more in android’s stock brausr. what giveth?
after posting the comment the mob theme *has* activated. i tried turning it off and on again afterwards, nothing happens after i push the button. only after a manual reload the thing activates. ma sagn.
another weird thing concerning your mobile theme: i am here with Firefox on Ubuntu 11.10 from my laptop right now, when i click on the link under “you might also like” it opens the “kicktrade goes beta” article with the mobile theme activated! i know a laptop is kinda mobile, so is this normal? i guess not… just sayin, there really is something fishy about that mobile theme. better check it out!
the problem i just described is now all of a sudden not apparent any more… i swear i double checked before i posted! i supposed you are twiddling around with the site right now, or maybe i am just seeing things… ;)

I might have an idea what causes this behavior: this site uses page caching and tells the browser literally that “nothing has changed” even when you switch back and forth the mobile theme. You have to do a complete reload on your browser, otherwise it will use its internal cached version.
