We all know having money is great on the server, but in reality the money system is ruined. I remember back in the old days mobs would give you a couple dollars and the all mighty giant gave you a wonderful 10$ or was it $25? Now you can just type your name, some letters, and click Vote! and you get yourself a nice 500$ a day for advertising the server (which in no way is a bad thing). So what I'm suggesting is either raising the monetary value on all things in the server, eg. Houses are now 500$ a block, PokeMarts increased all goods value by 35% and whatnot. I mean I logged in today and I typed /baltop to see some completely random player have over half a million dollars which would be unheard of in the past. See if makes you have to work for what you want instead of clicking a couple vote links everyday until you get enough for what you want. Back in the day we used to farm mobs like crazy to just get at least 1000$ a day or so.
Also add more uses for money as now it's either to buy a house, buy items, and of course gamble. Boring isn't it? Maybe adding a couple cool features like /pay server 500 and for a limited time right clicking with your stick lets you shoot call down lightning strikes that hurt only passive or aggressive mobs. Add a real bank system where people can deposit and withdraw money, but if you choose to keep it all your at the risk of anyone /theif Equin0x xxxx where higher amounts are more difficult to thief and you have a 3 thief limit daily. People can get loans and must pay back in a period of time or risk losing 100$ a minute or 500$ and hour even going into the negatives. And making the bank universal so even though you deposited lets say 457$ and someone withdrew 200 and the bank only had 500$ stored in total you must wait until the bank receives the money back. Interest would be a good idea too like maybe +0.015% gained every week. Well I dragged this too long so let's see what the playerbase thinks of this. Remember change is good and adds possibility to many new and fun things, sticking to the same old thing gets boring and is what causes a lot of people to leave.

Pokemon Server's on an inflation. Money used to be valuable. I invested all my money in the Diamond Business.
Money a day per vote = 100$
I like Equin0x's thief system, and the other ideas he had. I think some areas should have hotels, just hotels not owned by Players (So admins don't struggle WorldGuarding). I saw a plugin on a jail server, you right click a sign, it takes your money and gives you the WorldGuard Region for a specified time limit. If we could find a way to code a plugin like that for a hotel for the newbies, it would be a very good use for money.
The Casinos at Goldenrod and Saffron should improve, I found recent Blackjack plugins. Also another idea is when you die, you should lose about 5% of your money, and minimum house wage should be 5000$ then any extra blocks 500$.
Just some ideas, to decrease the inflation rate
-
You don't need to code a plugin for regions like that Liquid, plenty of them exist.
I see your point Equin0x but i dont' see an actual problem. So what? people have more money now. but along with this, prices have gone up - Iron, Diamond and Gold.
Check out TA's prices at his shop and you'll see what i mean
-
Maybe admins we could use your bank idea Equin0x and then instead of /thief, people can lose a percentage of money if they are killed

They did go up, but yes i guess they have gone down because we had a period where tons of people started duping
-
Even since that duping of Diamond blocks sold 150$ per, inflation rates have gone up.
-
This sort of thing was bound to happen.

That random guy was a person from FragCorner. Admins said he could do whatever he wanted as long as he wasn't Oped. He went over-board and now he's banned.
-
Off topic much Mario?

He was a problem, but there was also Smnn, Jord and ibao44

How is that off topic considering he asked about that noob that just got money fast?

I thought the noob was 1cew1re, who got it hacked in cuz I was easily entertained.
Not Dwarfasaurus.
-
I wonder who 1cew1re is...
-
Probably another Rigby alt or something.

I agree with Equin0x too a certain degree. I remember the good ol' days in September when Archie used to be my ore supplier, well everyone's.
Selling ores at 300 and what not. And it wasn't a simple vote and you got it, it was, go out sell/fight for it. At this point voting is another way of AFK money making over time. All you do is log in to "register" your account to the server. Then vote for a while. After you have some money stored up buy a house maybe ores etc. Oh the ol' days.

It's a wire that has ice. :banana:
-
Maybe we should change what users earn from voting? Opinions?

Instead of $500, 500 diamond? :P
Rigby, maybe ice, possible even Para, had an idea a while back to fix the economy. Change all the dirt and grass to diamond and dirt is now the rarest material in game :P

Wasn't me. Although I did play with the idea of removing all diamond ore from the world. Make excavation the most valuable skill in the world.
-
No. Please.
Also ichi i remember those good days too. I miss all the old players though :(
-
Lol don't worry Archie, no one else liked my idea either.
-
Dirt was my idea. I don't see the problem. Inflation doesn't matter on a minecraft server. So what if diamond costs 5$ to buy or 50000$? Its just a number. Diamond price an iron will increase to compensate eventually, things will increase. It's just numbers that are increasing all together. Do you really care if a year ago it was cool to have 5000$ and now it's cool to have 50000000? We can just fluctuate house prices, impose taxes, decrease voting incentive, delete ores, ect. In reality these kind of issues you bring up are bad because we can't control the economy so heavily as in a game.
-
Fishing would also be useful.
-
I think u guys should just empty everyones money to restore the economical balance :)
-
To effectively restore the economical balance you'd also have to perform FULL ITEM AND STAT SWIPES. Otherwise people with diamond will already be at an advantage, and those with high skills in particular areas would be able to acquire rarer materials quicker.
I agree with Para. No point trying to postpone the inevitable, especially in a video game where it is of little importance in the real world.

Sigh, I enjoy reading these things, it makes me rethink about what I've said and learn more about what I can do for the better of people around me.
Honestly the admins aside from Zombie and Oddy, I've learned a little more what I can do to do the ^ things.
Anyways a complete wipe would be fun really. It would be like the great arms race. What Night had wished for. -Le sad face-
