Clan Investments Idea

note to moderators: this is a concept, I am not suggesting anything to the game with this

investments in AO for certain clans. With clan building, clans are a business which is how I came up with this.

I’m gonna call this idea “Clan Investments” or “Clan Shares”. It will probably be held in somewhere other than the auction stand, don’t know yet.

when a clan gains infamy all shareholders gain galleons, same with losses. Basically, players can buy shares of Average+ clans, and their profit from those shares depends on the power of the clan. The profit will display in some UI saying _ Galleons (_ Shares) (+Profit). Info text will be “Invest galleons in a clan, gaining or losing depending on infamy fluctuations”. The player can choose to sell or trade clan shares to another player, since they are also in your inventory. Clan shares can only be sold to other players.

the formula for galleons is 1+(infamy gained/total infamy) * 10 * shares bought * share price. For profit, it’s simply current price - previous price.

clans can choose their share price, it doesn’t change much tbh except for appeal

I believe this will create more incentive for clans to grow powerful, because if your clan is growing fast then you can make a ton of money from investors. Thoughts?

i asked for thoughts not gurt reactions

Probably would’ve been funnier to let this accumulate :skull: reactions, but I actually do have a few thoughts.


This sounds kinda cool, but I feel like it would make clan tensions, clan glaze, and whatever slavery they got going on even worse. The idea of having a bunch of people invested in a clan but as hidden a sleeper agent just seems like a bad idea, idk how else to say it.

This might be salvageable for NPC factions though, especially since more are being added in full release.

hehe, late stage capitalism in my silly wizard pirate game
