What is reasonable fee? Like 10k or what?

[Akomine (OP)]

Kyro and Sound were thinking 10k.
I was originally thinking lower, but if 10k is the consensus, then 10k it is.
MPs are free to suggest a price.

[Nediac]

10k sounds too much. Maybe 3k.

[huntman0697]

3k sounds much more reasonable not everyone has 10k they can pull from their ass.

[cjm721]

can get 3k in one mining run and it requires 5 people to make a village. Will this act make it so that I can just protect what I want for the fee?

[Akomine (OP)]

Takes 2 people to make a town, and no, we're still only going to protect towns (and offshoots of towns, like nether farms).

[knitefall]

i say that it should be 3k like ned said...that rhymed....

[boylink]

I like this idea because I hate abandoned places, but it's a bit expensive.

[huntman0697]

I'd certainly like less road blocks when my plan activates.....

[Bluthochzeit]

3k sounds reasonable

Forces them to join and make friendly with the natives  :3

also..cascade has 4 open rooms *cough cough* >>

[DarkenedAngel]

5k sounds like a better number :~p. (*is glad i got protection before this passed :~p*)

[Xalin720]

Id rather have it 3k cause cheaper and more reasonable price. its hard in the beginning to get money cause we start off with 200$ lol maybe make it more expensive for a second village like 3k then 6k then 12k somethin like that

[DarkenedAngel]

the thing is xane is we want to strongly encourage ppl to join a village when they start. At least i think that is the plan. If this makes it so a person has to join a village for the first few days of play that is a good thing.

Actually.... If we want ppl to join a village maybe we should have it be a requirement before they make their own?

[huntman0697]

Shouldn't be a requirement to join a village at first lol it's common sense to stay at someone's village and get supplies THEN build his/her own village.

[DarkenedAngel]

I didn't do that hunt. I literally joined, read the rules in game (after on the forum), and then asked to make sure wut i wanted to do was ok. Then i just ran off in a random direction, from wut i didn't know was the market at the time, until i thought i was far enough away (which really isn't very far i find out lol and started to gather resources for my project. Granted this is the first server i have really ever played on so it might be different or because i tend to play alone until i feel comfortable with others but i didn't join another village at the start.

I don't know... i just thought it might be nice to make it a req so that village pops go up a lil /shrug.

[Akomine (OP)]

The fee is probably going to be something small like 5k. 5k is nothing on this server, especially if someone walks out and mines, or joins a village and mines.
