30 of a total 30 for sale at ???????? at [???|???] in ???????? has been accepted by ???? [???] from ?????????? for a total of 292500.0000Gold.

80000 of a total 754000 for sale at ???????? at [???|???] in ??????? has been accepted by ??????? [???] from ???????? for a total of 80000.0000Gold.

100000 of a total 854000 for sale at ???????? at [???|???] in ??????? has been accepted by ??????? [???] from ?????? for a total of 100000.0000Gold.

It's so easy to put commas in numbers and round the decimals.  There's really no reason why any numbers should be in any communication without commas and rounding.  It should be a common function used when outputting any number.  I'm tired of staring at these emails trying to decipher the numbers.

function addCommas(n, dec)
{
  var rx = /(\d+)(\d{3})/;
  var decimalVal = Math.pow(10, dec);
  var numberStr = String(Math.round(n * decimalVal) / decimalVal);

  numberStr = numberStr.replace(/^\d+/, function(w)
                           {
                             while(rx.test(w))
                               w = w.replace(rx, '$1,$2');
                             return w;
                           });
  if (dec == 0)
    return numberStr;
  if (numberStr.indexOf(".") == -1)
    return numberStr + "." + String(decimalVal).substr(1);
  return numberStr + String(decimalVal).substr(numberStr.length - numberStr.indexOf("."))
}

I'll counter with y not just use K anytime something goes above 10k  and M anytime something goes above 10M

You could do that .. Or String.Format("{0:n0}", 1234)

I think it should be in scientific notation --  1.234 x 10^5

/* REXX */ numeric form engineering; numeric digits 5; X = 1.234E5; say X /* yields 123.4E+3 */

Only if a click or floating hint gives you the exact number; sometimes you need the last few digits, especially if transporting resources that are in demand.

Um, I think that's C#, which is great if they formatted the IGM in C#.  I also don't think that will give the same format.  It will not format the decimals, only add commas.  Which is fine, but I think four decimal places is too many.
