Direct Trading

Anyone using this feature yet?

Tis a great idea and I've posted offers. Am I the only one?

i have just been using it on my own countries so far

Direct Trading rocks!

I've used it to sell 600T in game cash. Absolutely love it.

If used correctly, you should never again have cost of financial service fees. Yah!!!

I did not see a game news announcement about it, but found it courtesy of this forum post. Thank you.
It isn't too hard to figure out and I have posted an offer.

Another change in the game:

Halle Medical Materials is a Public Corporation controlled by Four Seasons. You can buy shares of this corporation and become the major share holder.

I guess you can no longer do a direct purchase of a public corporation from Gamemaster Corporations, you have to buy stock in them.

Since as far as I know this a major change, I don't see why it was not posted in The Game News either. Or did I just miss both of these items.

@Noproblem
I think you are probably confusing enterprise controlled PUBLIC corporations with PRIVATE corporations.

Direct Trading does rock!

See my offers on the direct trade page, CC

Sorry for the double post, but you are right, CC. there were two subjects in my initial entry in this forum, one having nothing to do with direct trading.

Okay I am having difficulties with this. Actually maybe it is just a disconnect. When I buy stuff for my country from my corps via contract the materials does not get transferred to the country it stays with the corp as stock (that could go against usage) Why? The result is that the corp plummets because it sees it as over stock and it starts to decrease productivity and hiring etc. What am I doing wrong?

The Direct Trading the other players are speaking about here is actually different, Luke. But it doesn't matter much.

Could you name your country's and corporations' names, so I can have a look?

Did you click "contract full production to [country] and accept", or was it something else?

Hiring only diminishes (if set to 100%), when it lacks workers. And base production falls if hiring falls, or lacks supplies.


You can manage your economy as you well desire, but as a sidenote: it is more profitable for you if you have an open market - buy and sell with the rest of the world.
