ideas for the server to make money

[mk59apr]

had a good discussion with mava and kking1(who was using his bro's account risabu1)
I did some screenshots of the conversation:













The conversations started with worries over selling /fly, which i am now seeing as a big change in the server.
Sure it's fun, but do we really want to go this route? it's so close to creative mode.....

I like the idea of selling the ability to claim in pve world, provided people understand a reset will come.
I like the idea of something happening in capital region, like some cities within view of the spawn building.
New players constantly go into build world, see no builds, can't build anywhere, and then leave.

I very much like the idea that /region commands could be a perk, so people could create plots within build claims

I think if people hear that we could've used /fly it will make the builds (especially the tall and high ones) seem less impressive.

/fly, I've noticed does help with the person build and maneuver much easier. So I think it's still fine and remember the majority of the minecraftaddicts has not donated. So there still is legitimacy in minecraftaddicts.

Pve is person vs environment. So, why would you have a claim. I think pve could be a thing to use as you wait for your build claim to get accepted. Some times can be fun by people who already have claims. But most of the time it's for new players.

Fly was a test and has greatly proved our points in saying you guys don't know what you want.
You're now saying that fly is basically cheating when a few months back it was all you wanted introduced. Now you can see why we don't like implementing stuff by request....

I really don't see fly as a cheat in ANY way. I see it as a way to make building easier. It's like an equivalent to a window washers elevator thing. It makes his job easier. If we were to start spawning blocks? Then yeah, I'd have a problem.

If you don't want to fly cause you think it cheating or making them less impressive, then don't donate for it.

Following that logic:
But wouldn't spawning blocks just make building easier? I mean the world IS called BUILD, not mine and build.

And for the record alien, you know I've always been against fly from long long ago.

Oh, I didn't know you were the majority of the server.

Good idea mk

Also, i think every claim can only be like 10x10 and it costs caps to actually claim some land.

However, with adding this PvE's side would have to expand, which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing

There is no difference in what you can build with, or without fly. Any type of build is possible both ways. Think of it as a fast forward button. Spawning blocks however? That's just depletes the amazingness of a build because you didn't work for any of the materials.

 

[Fista_Cuffs]

your correct dcl there is nothing u can build with or without fly. i don't get the whole argument about working for your materials. if your donating for fly to make things easier why not just donate for caps and buy the blocks you need. i agree with mava fly just makes all the previous builds( the tall ones mainly) seem less impressive.

I don't think I mentioned that point in my reply
