I’ve played on other worlds in which you buy low and sell high (trade routes) and I loved it. It would be super fun with boats, but instead of claims, there should be naval forts or ports in which ships are protected. Maybe different factions own these Forts??? Sounds pretty fun if you ask me. Oh! Maybe naval battles can determine who owns the seas/forts/trade routes.

Yes! I forgot to mention that part! that would be a must! Protected at Admin ports, hell we could even have plots people rent in the citys to build what they want to have it protected (maybe).

Having people live in cities could be a great way to store personal items. Just a small area to call “home”

Yea, I think that some houses should be rented, (for traveling shifters) and some houses should be sold for larger amounts, so you can have a place to go back to at the end of a day.

It would also be cool (if players were willing to) if people made navies and got a share of the profit, to help in the fact that they protected the merchants…

Im on board with this 100% except, how does it kill the point of ships, ships maintain a balance of beauty and capacity. You can fill a whole army in some ships. Ships don’t get ruled out by tp’s I get animals from one side to another using them. This may be a small use for them on a PIRATE server. But you know how it is, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, and I don’t think this server’s tp system is broken. Sometimes I don’t feel like travelling for 2 hours accross the map to get to a friend’s house to defend. With a new map expansion it’d take even longer, especially since I’m a multitasker IRL and watch tv while playing. That’s off topic anyway. Along with this topic is the no /sethome anymore, that’d be horrible for me, since my homes are all over the joint, I’d be walking for hours and quite honestly I’d quit the server.

I’m sorry, maybe everything I just said makes no sense or in theory all has answers, sorry if that’s true.

That’s a great idea! I didn’t actually think about that. But player owned ports is a no-no in my opinion. I think that in the middle of the ocean or like every 500 blocks there should be a post saying what direction the ports are in! Like bobbies with signs! Chao

These can be made by players, but wont be protected.

Does also mean people can set traps.

The issue if people could claim areas would they would set waypoints across a route on the map to stop off whenever they could to deposit items in a safe location, which then makes the trading a pirating pointless since you can just safely store items somewhere! You will actually have to bury it and remember the coordinates and use maps! (Im sure minimaps will explode with popularity)

Tbh some of these ideas sound really cool, but that’s going to change this server so much. And the things people are saying aren’t things why I love this server so much.

Just thought I write what I thought on this. 😀
