How hard would it be to utilize the advanced trading menu system, but rig it to talk to the Database?  My current side project in Epoch requires an active economy... a real one, not just random numbers generated to change the prices @ every server restart.  The economy SQL script is quite smart...  But my testing user base prefers the look of the advanced trading window over the other original window that "talks" to the database. I have a few procedures lined up that could make talking to the database not lag the servers as bad as they used to get lagged, while actually refreshing their inventory every so often (on a schedule) to push the "new" prices to the vendors without requiring a server restart.

But of course - all the cool under the hood stuff to make that happen will be for naught if nobody wants to use the older "ugly" menu system.
