    By what i mean with PGEP is that over time, you progressively get more permissions through the ranks you unlock via play time which can be seen by /stats me.

    We all know the frustration and the time we all waste by dying to a invisible mob that pushes all the wrong buttons, and in addition the tiring walk back. Well through PGEP the more play time a player has on the server the more commands they get access to, for instance /Back or even possibly more set homes.

    All though it might be a stretch, players might be awarded 'Claim Blocks' and 'In Game Currency' through unlocking ranks. How ever with this might become a problem as donations might dwindle, but if players notice the nice gestures they get through the hard working staff of MYM they might just feel the need to donate.

    Sincerely

    People were getting massive amounts of claims blocks and selling it.

    maybe theres some setting which only allows you to sell claimblocks you bought.

    because they're allready counted seperate and added to the bonus claimblocks from play

    I kind of like the idea of getting maybe a few MYMs per rank or something, but... what about the people who are already immortals?
    It can only go 2 ways,
    1: we get literally nothing from this and we get outclassed by newer players getting to this rank
    2: we get every prize right off the bat, completely unbalancing the server's already delicate economy.

    There is no winning in this scenario, for anyone :/

    Good point, How about u get payments weekly depending on how long you played? Hours playedxRank= Mym'sPerWeek might be a decent solution. rather then them getting it right off the bat. But people with high ranks to start off get their all there previous ranks commands.
    Maybe there could be a collection command like /collect to gain the money you have earned from the hours u put in since the update.

    i think thats why we don't get bonusblocks, because if a new server starts the highrank players have way to many claimblocks.

    Couldn't you make a timer for each server for how long you played? Like if you started DireWolf20 today, you would have a separate timer from DireWolf than all your other servers. All times added up to a global just to show off and the ranks like immortal. You only get rewards for how long you play on that specific server, this could carry from node to node if the nodes are linked.

    Another thing to add to that, the people could just convert their extra claimblocks to MYMs.
    So even for the people who dont build big *cough cough, me* we will get a ton of MYMS from the conversion.. meaning, the market is our oyster!

    yea, that would be a fair solution.


    not if you can disable selling of bonus claimblocks, but idk if thats possible with the plugin used on the server.

    Claimblocks and MyMs are coupled together. Both are used for voting and on most servers the only reason people vote, therefor can we not reduce their value.

    As i clearly stated on my thread, i said it might be a bit of a stretch. Indeed it has its problems. But the thing is you all forgot about one of the points. Will we get access to new commands via ranks? you guys just flew past that, no one gave me a straight answer.

    Thing is with that, then even ranks like teir 1 would be kinda useless up to a point, especially if you can be given /back and more homes with playtime

    Dont get me wrong, teir 5 donator as i am, i still feel that normal players should have accesss to maybe SOME of these commands, but the balencing issues make this unlikely.
