Npc Followers/Soldiers

Npcs that you could hire to guard your home or that follow you in to raids. You would have to give them armor and weapons and pay an upkeep so they stay around.

This would be helpful so empires can have guards and pirates could have npcs to repel boarding parties. The possibilities here are nearly limitless from bigger battles to landing troops with ships or just having a npc follower like in most rpg games.

The only downside I can see is that it could lag?

Recycling/Smelting

This would allow you to smelt weapons, tools and armor, buckets and minecarts to gain some of the crafting materials back. Lets say you smelt an Iron Sword with 60% durability you would get 1 Iron Ingot back or a Chestplate with 52% would result in 4 Ingots.

No downside?

The downside to the second option is it means that suddenly, skeleton and zombie farms become iron and gold farms. As an added point, the NPC plugin was suggested by myself long ago, so it may be worth doing a bit of research on why it was rejected.

The first one immediately reminded me of the Minecraft Comes Alive Mod. Which I personally love but I’m sure this would be abused since you can make your children mine diamonds and stuff for you.

And for the second one, I really like that and I have seen videos of this. And it’s not too op since you rarely get gear drops from mobs(well I don’t at least) and if I do, I just hoard them in a chest and I never use them again…. So it will be great to finally have a use for these ?

Both of these ideas have been tested previously, The issue with the NCP is that its really sketchy, There is no simple NCP friend/guard system, its fine if your an admin and want to setup server NCP’s but player owned NCPs is an issue, especially since you need to name them, and if you name them the same as another player, when you hurt that NCP it triggers PVP for the main player too.

There was an issue with Recycling/Smelting I cant remember what It was though…

@Godsdead suddenly all skeleton spawners and farms, alongside their zombie counterparts, become fair game for gold and iron farms? This would disrupt the economy a fair bit, and would mean /kit captain and commander become, well, money earners.

No @Dr-solid this would put bars and taverns out of business, why would I spend money on beer and rum when I could get it free from a command…

Hrm the first idea sounds like something i have seen on another server.
Don’t do it usually it starts to lag terribly after the 10th or 20th npc you control depending on your connection.

The NPC plugin had loads of problems; purchasing the NPC’s, spawning them, managing them, the issuing of new commands, the server lag, the naming issues (naming them after another player caused hell) and many other issues besides. Since then, I must point out that we have seen certain factions entering the triple digits in terms of man power, so in many ways, it has become obsolete, as it was proposed at a time when the server wasn’t nearly as popular as it is now.
