PopStocks launched a couple weeks ago, and after lots of work to iron out bugs and scalability issues its really starting to feel like a fun game. Facebook is all about interacting with your friends, and until now we have focused on our core 'fun' mechanics: trading stocks, creating rumors, and earning money. After alpha is complete we have some ideas of where to take our gameplay:
Profit Racing
The market is all about earning profit, so why not race your friends to see who can earn the most profit? These could be held over a fixed period of time, or they could be races to a specific amount of profit. By default we could have everyone compete in an all-time race to maximize profit, and users could check their status on a global leaderboard.
Mutual Funds
Mutual Funds are investments that contain a list of other stocks on the market. Users would be able to create their own funds, and charge administrative fees to people who purchase the fund. The better your fund performs, the more people will purchase it, and the more money you earn. We could create a leaderboard for funds that users can shop within.
Friend Charts and Leaderboards
Compare your performance on the market to your friends with both absolute and percentage based charts. We could also create a personal leaderboard to help you track your friends' progress.
Which of these sounds fun to you? Vote in our poll on the right and let us know!
