Topic: ecco running.
ive seens that athens had posted a topic on new ways to build an econamy that isnt just based on earning cash by doing the arena and lottery over and over, or earn a next to nothing selling to shops.
so i came up with a small idea that might work.
1, build 2 npc towns at opposite ends of the map.
2, town 1 sells unique items, lets call then a b and c. these cost £1, £10 and £100..
3, town 2 buys these items a b and c for £2, £15 and £110
this will allow players to buy items and then sell them to an npc village to earn some cash.
ive also set the prices so that the ratio of cost to profit is higher with the cheaper items, which will give poorer players a chance to earn. while still giving the richer players a better profit for having earned the greater amount of cash.
however there are catches to this. dont want to make it to easy for you all.
1)these items are none stackable, so if you bring no food or a weapons you can only carry a maximum of 36 items. ( this works out with a profit of £36, £180 and £360 and earn
2)if your killed you drop these items, allowing the other person to take them. so theres a good deal of risk involved. do you go for the cheaper items so you lose less if you die. do you carry less of them so you can bring food weapons ands potions.
3) this ones the big one, and with out it the whole idea fails. if you tp by any means, the items disapear completely. that means no setting home to move quickly back and forth, no tpa/tpahere to earn cash with a friend.
4) just to make it harder, if your killed by anything other then another player these items disapear.
5)these items disapear if dropped or placed in chest.
i thought this would make another great addition if possible to implament. as it add a way to earn cash with a good amount of risk, having to get from one side of the map to the other, on foot, while facing mobs, starvation and possibly even bandits looking to take these items for them selves. while also allowing players to start working together, as they can aid each others in moving from one side of the map to the other *cough* hire mercs*cough*cough* bodyguards *cough*cough* darklights merc camp *cough*cough*cough* sorry about that i got a bad cough.
this will also allow players to buy and sell these items, using signs. that way if a player wants to build a town mid way they can buy these items for more then what it costs at the start and sell them on for less then the end, this gives a chance for a smaller profit, but reduces the risk if you only have to go part of the way.
lets see what you guys think maybe do a little beta debugging to any other possiblities ive misssed.
Update 22/12/2014 01:00 am
The minecraft server broke-down last night at 00:00 as it the physical SSD we run on got completely filled, causing mayhem and destruction.
After countless Tickets, I finally managed to get some sense out of the host, they decided to move the server without telling me, changed the IP to my FTP without telling me, so I was uploading fixes to the server and nothing was taking place or changing, I couldn’t look at logs, It’s absolutely unimaginable why they would do this without telling me, after me asking at 09:00am and not getting a response till 00:00 tonight. They also deleted the map completely with all my settings, which I don’t have a backup of, so the map stays off-line until I can find a way to host it.
Some user profiles stored on the map were corrupted, there is nothing I can do about this as I can only restore my backups not download a local copy to extract player profiles (the hosts design).
Current Problems for people that played on the server between 00:00 and 09:00
- A very small number of players homes/balances will have been wiped
- A very small number of players inventory’s would have been wiped
These players need to reply to this thread with:
Username:
Problem: What was wiped
Global Issues:
- Map has been disabled for now
- /ar leaderboard seems broken
- Because people will ask, Brewary barrels dont work as its upto the developer to fix, its in no way related to this insolent
I need to sleep, desperately. I need the help of everyone to test everything on the server and report it back to this thread and this thread only so I can fix anything else that’s broken, anyone that complains in chat, please send them this thread.
Thank you for your patience.
Please be patient.
We are down as the host’s shared server’s main drive got filled up, this in turn crashed us at 00:00 from the 20th-21st.
The world seems fine, But we are having issues with getting ranks working, Ranks denote permissions for all plugins, without ranks we have no commands, or plugins working at all.
I have run all configs locally, and they all work fine, this is an issue caused by the host, I have been testing since 9am today its now 18:16, I have wasted my entire sunday trying to get the server up again, I do not want to risk anything or make anything worse.
I have made this post as there are a lot of impatient people, that are not reading my updates in this thread.
For people that do not have any patience and are being rude, I do not have patience for them.
For now, all I can do is wait.
