Progress Evaluation I understand im not running the server anymore, but at least freedom of speech and opinion is allowed, which i would like to share my evaluation so far on brocraft progress based on normal levels. You may not agree to my evidence, but if you were a real brocraft member, you would understand what im talking about. Hopefully staff can review this evidence and come to a decision. First off is market levels in /warp playermall. Sales are at a total standstill. I have lowered all my prices, even breaking even on some of my prices, and nothing is to be purchased. Hell, no one has been in my store since admins randomly tp to me and they dont even buy anything. I have a great variety, so its not like cobble and dirt im selling and being mad about no one buying. I have discussed this situation to other store owners as well, and they will agree that they are having the same problems. Second is real estate. I know these cities are non profits to the city owner, but they are profit for others buying fixing and re selling the plot. Usually new players fill all the spots, but around my home it still seems like a house followed by a empty field. New plots and new homes = new reliable players and opportunity for others. So think of these 2 known issues within brocraft. I'd hate to put someone in the spotlight, but at this point its all of the staff. Its like everyone is different than what they were. Jokes are dead, and god help you if you say "butt" in one of your jokes, or you will get kicked for being inappropriate. Back in the day, they'd all laugh and have a good time, but now its being professional. I agree, some should be, but when there is no new people coming online, what is it then? Its time to update PMC. Give me a vote and vote your opinion, its brocraft and you have the right to vote and share your opinion. Votes will be left anonymous, so dont help your buddies or whatever, vote for what you believe in. Thanks for your time. - Pickerbenny |

  More than half of your store's chestshops can either be bought and sold at /warp shop or earned at /warp hunter_job. Adminshop and Playermall really isn't meant to go together because it has "The Bar" set on items. In my second picture someone just left the leather laying on the ground, swear it wasn't me trying to be a tryhard. I'm not sure what to say about the "real estate" thing because I still don't quite understand what you meant. Adding on to this we really need more players I know, but we just don't have much to do. Cheesy has clearly told us many of times him and big have the PVP arenas, minigames and everything sorted out and for us to just sit back and not to worry about it. However, I'm not sure where or when any of those plans will come into play, it's been quite a while. |

I think before we start updating PMC there's a few things we need to iron out. I'll be honest, the economy is pretty broken as of right now. But, it's an easy fix. There's a lot of ways we can force players to use more of the economy aspect of the server by doing simple tweaks.
1) Remove hunter job.
Removing the hunter job will force players to have to find a way of obtaining food for themselves.
2) lower the % of ores in the miner job.
Lowering the percents of the miner job will force players to go off into the wild and cave/explore for them selves. It will also make diamonds more wanted to have.
3) Adding in a plugin that will allow money to be gained from killing mobs.
This will force players to again, venture off in the wild. Another thing this will do is damage and weaken the player's weapons and armour, thus leading them to need more materials.
All of these options can be a fix to making players use more of the Playermall.
There's a lot more we can do, but this is all the things I can think of at the moment.

I agree that people do not buy from the playermall shops often, and that we need more players. But I don't understand what exactly you meant about the real estate. And there's nothing wrong with a joke now and again. But there is a line. The line has been crossed multiple times lately, and it's our jobs as staff members to put a stop to it.

What about a currency change? Instead of using coins and generated numbers, why not use a physical element in the game? Like emeralds or gold nuggets... Just sayin' it would spice things up a bit

Also, I'd like to add in the plot scenerio. Say coins could only be used on certain items from playermall shops, selling items, etc... But coins could be exchanged for gold ingots or whatever rare physical item the server chooses. Those gold ingots or emerald or whatever gets picked, could be used to but a plot for an amount of time. In order to keep plots you have to continue earning the rare item chosen and that would put a higher strain on the economy, probably fixing the dull standstill many are seeing nowadays. Anyways, if it sounds like a good idea, comment and say so. If not, also comment and say why. Use legitimate reasons.

Its sounds good, until you associate that with plots. In the SRM plugin that regulates the plots, there are many different sales to do such as rent, auction, and for sale.. And what if we do do this and that player stores all his valuables on his plot? if someone else buys it and he cant afford it with "gold", his items will be lost, which is why buying and selling plots is alot easier than to keep constantly paying for it.
