The majority of my time is spent building on the server, and whilst I endeavour to accommodate the rate of claim block accruement (by building vertically before laterally and collecting materials in-between build sections etc..), I have still found that despite this, claim blocks generate too slowly even for modestly sized and detailed builds. I wondered how many other players, if any, had experienced this?

My suggestion would be to double the rate of claim block accruement to allow builders to claim their builds more easily. I would halve the conversion from claim blocks to pounds to maintain the current monetary value of claim blocks thus affecting a players ability to claim alone.

Look forward to hearing peoples thoughts on this,

Browe

This is great Browe Thanks. Theres one problem though, People could become rich by doing nothing but staying online, so now you have a ton of noobs running around with Huge houses and tons of money. So @GodsDead could decrease the amount of money claim blocks cost. ______ ( .40, .25) might be good prices

Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:

“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!”

As he stated, half the value of claimblocks, so rather than earning 100 claimblocks an hour worth £100, you earn 200 claimblocks an hour, worth 100. I’m struggling to think of a negative to this…

Actually it is 60 pounds for 100 claimblocks so it would become 60 by selling 200

We have already fine tuned Claim blocks to this perfect number, Its 60 Claim blocks per hour, that’s 1 per minute, you have to be online at that hour to actually get the claim blocks as it only drops them each hour, I think that’s how it works after looking at the logs. This is perfectly fine for giving them out for free for doing absolutely nothing at all to earn them, literally standing around would earn you them.

You can earn money in-game and buy claim blocks with /buyclaim to buy more claims or you can /donate for a large chunk if you do not wish to earn the claim blocks http://piratemc.com/donate/ 🙂

Larger claims which would make raiding harder than it already is.

Lucky you will be missed 🙁

Ok thats fair enough, I assumed that there was a bias towards giving players claim blocks freely so they can protect against grief (but preventing massive claims).

In my experience, I find it easier raiding the larger walled cities than the tiny stone brick cubes some players build

in all honesty I find that paying people to buy my claim blocks is much easier using the deals on the website… plus its good for the server

Why does everything think its in relation to 100 claim blocks? Is that written somewhere? Thats what It was very early on PirateCraft, its been 60 for a very long time now.

Yea I understand the claim blocks system as it is, 60 every 60 minutes, and I am not looking for easy money or claim blocks, simply making a suggestion to gauge peoples experience as I seem to spend all my money on claim blocks instead of trading with players etc!

Yeah I get that, from the responses people have mentioned 100 being set, I wondered if I still have that written somewhere.

It may be a good idea to do what you are saying, devalue the Claim block and increase their generation rate, but its got a knock-on effect throughout, what I’ve done is added this to my tracker to think over some more, nothing will happen with this straight away.
