suggestions Lets Fix The Economy!

[SuB_ZoiD]

So I have been on the server for a month now and have had so much trouble trying to buy what i need from spawn or from other players and here's why:

1- Item not available at spawn shop or market.

2- Players online don't have it and/or are not cooperating.

3- After finding that person who has the item, he's never sure of how much to money to ask for, and neither am i sure how much to pay.

 

Therefore, I believe some fixes can be made to maintain an ongoing economy, and make sure the money is holding its worth, that is:

1- Have an excel sheet (which I'm willing to provide a template for) listing all the prices for the most sold/demanded items on the server.

2- Have a huge shop land with a designated warp ( /warp shops), where players can buy plots (small, medium, or large plot) and build their own shops. These shops will auto-refill eliminating the need to constantly restock the market. And this of course will keep late game players around for a while because they want to see their shops flourish.

 

If this was accomplished it will definitely boost the server's performance, as:

1- People will want to buy more money, ranks, etc. since its worth is predetermined by the excel sheet.

2- Even if no on is online, you'll still be able to buy what you need. I mean, its only fair that you always find a source to buy ie. titanium early in the game. Regardless how many players are online.

3- Late game players will be forced to stay around because now they have an obligation, they are providing for the server!

4- New comers are always more likely to stay around when they know they have that resource security.

 

Really hope this gets implemented.

Excel sheet template is ready! (link below) The prices I have there are only a suggestion and are of no reliable background, I'll change them once i know all the prices on the server.

Anyone with the link and who has been selling items for a while, can edit and add his own column with his own suggested prices.

To avoid confusion, the values in the average column are the ones that are going to be used, once the excel sheet is 100% ready.

Please feel free to add items and prices only as needed.

Please note that this is only a minimum price list, so once its effective, no item shall be sold below the minimum prices

I'm up for this idea. We could get started on building a shop platform and manage it between us until such a time staff might take over the claim.

I have a big square grassy area we can use, its at 4784 70 -3740. I can subdivide the claim so we can each have a spot

that would be a great teleporter to the shop

Please check my previous comment: 

“The prices I have there are only a suggestion and are of no reliable background, I'll change them once i know all the prices on the server.”

Since I’ve been really busy with work I was never able to fix any prices up there, and also think its more of a staff task to make sure its reasonable pricing.

If you can get enough staff involved in this thread maybe they’ll fix the prices suggested, and then this will actually be feasible.

With this message i just want to keep this subject up because it was a pretty good idea and i would really like to have this kind of shop again on the server
