The Marketplace is one of the most ambitious additions to REV2 — both as an in-game system and as a full web analytics tool. The economy is also one of the most sensitive areas of any RSC server, so we want to hear your thoughts early.
Marketplace - In-Game and on the Website
In addition to the in-game marketplace we now offer a full market analytics page on the website, giving you visibility into the entire game economy from your browser. Data updates every 5 minutes with a freshness indicator so you always know how current the information is.
Item Detail Pages
Click any item for a full breakdown: current best buy and sell prices, last trade price, and price history across five time periods (24h, 7d, 30d, 90d, 180d) with median prices, price ranges, trend indicators, and trading volume. Each item has interactive price and volume charts so you can see exactly how the market has moved over time. Recent buy and sell orders are listed with their current status — active, sold, expired, and more.
Overview & Activity Feed
See all active buy and sell orders alongside a live feed showing items being listed, wanted, and sold in real time. Filter by category or search for specific items.
Deals
Find items for sale priced below market value. The deals page highlights sell orders priced under the median and buy orders priced above it, showing exactly how much you'd save or earn. Filter by discount threshold (5%, 10%, 15%, 25%) and time period.
Price Tracking
Price Rises & Falls — Track which items are gaining or losing value. See the top movers in either direction with start price, end price, total change, and percentage. Filter by time period from 24 hours to 180 days.
Valuable Trades — See the highest-value items being traded, with min, average, and max prices plus change compared to the prior period.
Most Traded — See what's moving most by volume, with daily min/max/median breakdowns for longer time periods.
Tax & Economy Notes
A 10% marketplace tax will be introduced around 3 months after launch to help manage the economy once things stabilise. Face-to-face trading stays completely tax-free.

Questions for Discussion
On the web marketplace: The market analytics page tracks price history, deals, price rises and falls, and trading volume. What would you use most, and is there anything missing you'd want to see tracked?
On the 10% marketplace tax: The tax is planned for around 3 months after launch. Do you think that timing is right? Too early, too late? And what should the collected tax pot be used for?
On market transparency: Every trade, price, and order is publicly visible on the website. Does full transparency feel like a feature or does it give too much of an advantage to experienced players who know how to read markets? How do you feel about this level of transparency?
On the economy generally: Drop rates follow the original RSC as closely as possible at launch. Are there specific items or areas where you think the economy could become unhealthy, and what would you want us to watch?
Share any other thoughts on the marketplace or economy — a healthy economy is one of the most important things we can get right from day one, and your feedback here matters.
